Great Performances: My Favorite Broadway: The Love Songs (2001)
An Excellent Show Overall
I must confess that I originally bought this DVD, just for three actors/performers - Brent Spiner, Julie Andrews and the angelic Michael Crawford. However, despite this reason, I found this show to be absolutely thrilling. For me, it had been a long time since I last saw Julie Andrews, so it was especially wonderful to see her again. And, for her to sing with my most favorite's actor, Mr. Michael Crawford - oh, what a treat! The joy in their eyes after their duet - and their brief dance, as the audience applauded hysterically was an especially beautiful moment. The faint tears in Mr. Crawford's eyes were so moving. It seemed that he had danced and sung with a goddess. It's a must-see for any fans of these various performers.
Michael Crawford in Concert (1998)
Michael Crawford... Need You Say More?
I saw this DVD of the show in the local music place, and I just had to have it. It was Michael Crawford after all - the living, breathing Angel of Music... And I don't just mean this in reference to his role in 'The Phantom Of The Opera'. He is, in my opinion, an angel through and through. His heart, soul and voice is heavenly in origin. Every move he makes, every gesture and every note/word he sings/says is beyond all description. I have yet to meet him, but through the presentation of this concert, it is apparent that it reflects the singer himself. The setting is intimate, sensual, genteel. The songs vary from being gentle love songs to enthusiastic outbursts of joy. There is no other concert like it.
