Had a wonderful night out seeing the first performance of this concert at Broadlands, Romsey headed by John Owen Jones, Earl Carpenter, Katie Hall and Kerry Ellis
Audience is situated in groups of up to four in little plots. All spaced out so the cheapest is a way a way from the stage but there is a screen to see the faces
A variety of the usual songs as well as Into the Unknown (Frozen 2), Evermore (Beauty and the Beast remake), In Lily’s Eyes The Sexret Garden), and John and Earl playing off each other with A Musical (Something Rotten) and You’re Nothing Without Me (City of Angels)
Some quaint humour sprinkled in including a jab at Phantom being closed
Everyone sang songs from musicals they had been in. Earl Carpenter sang Sunset Boulevard wonderfully, Kerry Ellis sang a song from We Will Rock You and As Long As Your Mine with John. Katie gave her rendition of Think if Me and All I ask of You with Earl. Both he and John gave a duet of Music of the Night
And of course the night rounded off with Les Mis. John and Earl gave their Bring him Home and Stars as well as Confrontation. Made me wish I hadn’t missed Earl in the 2010 tour. Kerry Ellis was kinda left out I must say. As a former Fantine couldn’t she have done a duet of I Dreamed a Dream with Katie Hall
Complaints would be if you’re at the front you have to wait a long time standing around before you’re ushered back to your car. And there was a pre-show video where Earl Carpenter asked us to please use their phones to promote the show and reluctantly promote John and Kelly’s albums. And he does this whilst putting on...an act...of speaking...like...this. Which is fine except he also listed all the many rules of distancing, keeping to your plots and the facilities which went on and on
But a lovely evening seeing John and Earl together again
Concert is going to Bywell Hall, Newcastle and the British Motor Museum outside Warwick
