A Night At The Musicals by Star Live Entertainment Ltd.

Westgate Suite, Long Eaton.

This was Star Light Entertainment's first show and, as I had expected, it was a complete success. Let's face it, anything that is to do with musical theatre is going to be a good night out for me. Anything that is to do with musical theatre and is presented by such incredibly talented singers makes a great night out for me; and Friday night was a great night out for me.

Stephen Mura, Tom Bond, Lindsey Greasley, Joe Millward, Kate Jones and Lauren Rose gave some pretty powerful performances of some well known, and some not so well known musical theatre songs from some great musicals.

Normally I am able to pick out at least a few of my favourite bits from a concert or theatre show, but with this one I was stuck for opting for any over any other. It was like a greatest hits of musical theatre compilation set.

Songs like "I Know Him So Well" from "Chess", "Waving Through A Window" from "Dear Evan Hansen","Maybe This Time" from "Cabaret", "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" from "Beautiful" and the ultimate crowd pleaser for any celebration, "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" from "Jersey Boys", which saw all six performers on stage, sated the passing musical theatre fan.

Hardcore fans loved the dramatic and drama in "Suddenly Seymour" from "Little Shop Of Horrors", "This Is The Momentation" a mix of "This Is The Moment" and "Confrontation" from "Jekyll And Hyde". "Till I Hear You Sing" from "Love Never Dies", "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" from "Phantom Of The Opera" and "Give My Life For You" from "Miss Saigon".

There were humorous songs like "Gaston" from "Beauty And The Beast" which then went into "You And Me (But Mostly Me)" from "Book Of Mormon", "The Negative" from "Waitress"and "Mama Says" from "Footloose".

Interwoven in these were the not so well known songs and musicals like "Stars And The Moon" from "Songs For A New World", "She's Too Far Above Me" from "Half A Sixpence", "I Love Betsy" from "Honeymoon In Vegas"and "Where Are All The People" from "Chaplin".

And then there were the classic musicals featured "Show Me" from "My Fair Lady", "East To Dance With" from "Top Hat" and "Can't Take That Away From Me" from "Crazy For You".

For younger fans there was also "Dancing Through Life" and "What Is This Feeling" from the current musical theatre hit "Wicked" and "Make A Man Out Of You" from "Mulan".

This is not the full playlist either but shows the variety of music that these six performers - I won't say singers because they did more than sing, they performed the songs, and if this first outing for Star Live Entertainment's Night at the Musicals, then I for one can not wait to see what their next show is like.

What also made this night so good was the quality of the sound. I've been to shows similar to this before and the sound was not as good as this. The sound mix did not shy away from being bold and powerful, but didn't drown out these fantastic voices, and was as clear as if there was a live orchestra in the room. It's plain to see and hear that the backing tracks used were of the best quality, completely complimenting the vocalists.

The evening concluded with a DJ set until last orders at 11.30.

If you see Star Live Entertainment's Night At the Musicals advertised in the future, make sure you grab yourself a ticket or two and wallow in an evening of top class performers, performing top class tunes.
