Other people blog sporting events, conventions, and political happenings. I blog live performances.
8:07 OMG Gabriel Byrne is completely adorable. Which is a rather new way of viewing him :)
8:10 Just because Richard Harris didn't sing doesn't mean all Arthurs shouldn't...
8:17 And this is why Marin Mazzie is a singer and why Gabriel Byrne is an actor. Although to her credit, she's matching him.
8:20 Ohhhh, he does sing. Somewhat.
8:24 Either the producer or the cameramen are OFF today.
8:37 I LOVE Nathan Gunn. And he is perfectly cast as Lancelot! Damn, his voice is beautiful.
8:40 and he's such a good comic/actor too! Of course, anyone who saw him in The Magic Flute would not doubt that. LOL the leather pants.
8:42 Mr. Byrne, that's a hair too much stuttering.
8:46 This is rather new for the Philharmonic staged musicals--which is to have the singing chorus be extremely competent dancers, too. They must have heavily tapped the Broadway talent. Although it does look like some singers are sitting on the side too.
Still the Candide the Phil did a few years ago was awesome.
8:49 Yay Christopher Lloyd!! He's darling. And his Pellinore is not annoying! (Like so many can.)
8:50 Wow, Christopher Sieber is playing a bit part. Impressive.
9:00 Whoa, that's Marc Kudisch! They really are pulling out all the stops, aren't there.
9:09 See, I rather like Gabriel Byrne's voice! It's untrained, especially next to Mazzie and Gunn, but rather charming for all that.
9:12 OK the tournament is rather cheesy but also kind of clever.
9:14 Lancelot: the faith healer of King Arthur's court.
9:23 OK, wow, that's a really powerful ending image.
9:36 Here comes the angst. They are all so GOOD at this!!
9:37 Yes, I'd to hear Nathan Gunn sing "If Ever I Would Leave You" for the rest of my life, please thanks.
9:39 Hee, he does the bewildered blink so well
9:43 Not impressed with this interpretation of Mordred. Is that really necessary? I mean, yes, he is the rebel, but argh. I hate the obvious path.
9:52 aw, the whistling is really cute!
9:57 OK, aside from the fact she can't really act, Fran Drescher is kind of cute as Morgan le Fay.
10:10 See this is how to create effective tension
10:12 Aargh cameraman. There's a swordfight going on and we can't see any of it! Incidentally, I like the silver masks for helms.
10:20 Aw, that was nice. Not super great, but nice!
If you missed tonight's performance/broadcast, I think PBS will be repeating the program--check your local listings. And if you're in NYC you can see it live for two more nights!
p.s. T. H. White is awesome.
