The Phantom Of The Opera
My first musical, and had to give him a standing ovation. The Phantom of the Opera combines the musical genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber atmosphere.Butler a chilling film gives a very good performance as a ghost, and his growing madness, but always present (I could have given the ghost of a more disturbing presence [...]

Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem - Reunion Concert At The Ulster Hall

Sledge always be associated with ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’, a brief, poignant ballad he sang with wrenching, convincing anguish and passion.Tracklisting: 1. A Special Prayer2.
