Review: This is a must-see, must-own video for everyone who loves Andrew Lloyd Weber's music! You'll see top stars perform selections from Jesus Christ, Superstar, Evita, Sunset Boulevard, and many more of his best shows. Michael Ball and Sarah Brightman are great in a duet from The Phantom of the Opera. Other standouts include Glenn Close and Marcus Lovett. Bravo!

Summary: All I Can Say is WOW!
Review: I have many DVD concerts but this one is my absolute favor. I can't tell you how many times I have played it. It was my first exposure to BoyZone and the song No Matter What is my absolute favorite of the DVD. I also love both versions of Whistle Down the Wind. Donny Osmond did a tremendous job with Any Dream Will Do and Close Every Door....I could go on and on I just loved it. The only song I don't particularly care for is the song from Starlight Express. If you like Andrew Lloyd Webber's music believe me you won't be disappointed.

Review: I bought the VHS of this concert a long time ago and fell in love with it instantly. Now the DVD is released and I can finally say goodbye to all the frustrations of rewinding or forwarding, and enjoy the show to the full pleasure.
Fascinating music, dazzling stars, it truly is a gala night. Andrew Lloyd Webber definitely is the master of melody. You don't have to be a music connoisseur to understand his music; you don't have to be a musical fanatic to appreciate this concert. There are so many songs and music pieces in his musicals that can be singled out and performed in a concert without losing their original glamour. I am sure the concert could go on and on if time permitted. This two-hour concert has included his most popular musical pieces, if not all of his best ones. Among all the male stars, Michael Ball rules. He looks gorgeous and sounds great. Each of his appearing on the stage gives the show a rocket boost. No one could deliver a more powerful "Gethsemane" than him. Among all the female singers Sarah Brightman is in the limelight, but vocal-wise, Eilain Paige and Kiri Te Kanawa lead, especially the latter. What's great about Kiri Te Kanawa is that she sounds so natural while singing operatically. Although she just sang one song, no one can match her power and solid skill. One big disappointment is the Phantom song. The fact is Antonio Banderas can't sing phantom. He is not bad in "Oh, What a Circus", but his voice is too weak for phantom. I'd certainly like to see Michael Ball singing the phantom (especially after listening to his rendition with Lesley Garrett in his recent album "Center Stage"), or anyone else with a strong and sexy voice. I could continue on and on with the songs and the singers, but I don't want to spoil the fun for those who haven't seen the performance. Seeing is believing. Seeing it yourself, you'll treasure it for the rest of your life!

Summary: Elaine Paige is amazing!
Review: This is a mixed-bag, mostly because of the obvious absense of Michael Crawford, Patti LuPone, and all of the more popular tunes from "Jesus Christ Superstar". Still, it is a great evening of entertainment. On the DVD there are some interesting interviews with the performers, like Close and Osmond, about how they got introduced to Andrew Lloyd Webber, and what it was like to do the shows. Interesting stuff overall. In the performance, Donny Osmond is particularly wonderful, singing the songs from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" with a children's choir backing him up. Stephen Gately sings "No Matter What" about a year before he came out, and if you listen to the lyrics and the passion with which he's singing, you can't help but pick up on the song's double-meaning for him at that time. Starlight Express is done on roller-skates, which is very cool. You can also judge for yourself about Glenn Close's singing ability, as she does her songs from "Sunset Boulevard". Personally, I think she's pretty darn good. But, the best thing on the program is saved for last. Elaine Paige sings "Memory" from "Cats." Now, I'm not a big fan of this song, 'cause it's just been done to death. But wow! She sings it with so much passion and drama, it's like noting you've ever seen. I'm getting chills just thinking about it now. It's one of the all time best performances I've ever seen. That alone makes this disc worth it.

Summary: 5 MUSICAL STARS OF THE NIGHT!!!!
Review: This is one of the most beautiful nights of music I have ever seen. Michael Ball, Sarah Brightman, Kiri Te Kanawa, Elaine Paige, Glenn Close and all the rest sent chills up and down my spine for almost two solid hours. I had the vhs and as soon as the dvd came out I was right there to get it! My only regret is that it is not available to CD. Why is that? It is such a a tremendous, beautiful production. One to watch many times over and get the same thrill as if you are seeing it for the first time.

Review: I watch this video at least once a month. The talent is superb. Who knew Antonio could sing that well. And Donny does a wonderful job on his 2 songs. It introduced me to Michael Ball. I'll be ordering his CD next. The dramatic interpretation by Glenn Close is unbelievable. You won't be sorry with this video.

Summary: All stars but Glenn Close steals the show.
Review: To the point - I was lucky enough to be there on this once in a life time event. Tina Arena did the most difficult task by opening the show but what a spotless performance.To hear and see Donny Osmond, Antonio Banderas was another treat.Michael Ball really put gusto to the songs 'Vaults of Heaven' and 'Gethsemane'. But when Glenn Close came out her presence filled the whole Albert Hall and apart from Andrew LLyod Webber the night belongs to her. from an audience point of view ...
