- 2. Welcome Page Welcome to this amazing new presentation about the west end and some of it amazing productions that are on offer in London. I will also be looking at Lord Andrew Llyord Webber who has written thousands of musicals and also has papered on television shows. I hope you enjoy this and find some useful information about all the shows in London.
- 3. Mamma Mia Mamma Mia is based upon ABBA amazing songs and a storyline that is about two guys trying to marry Sophie. The songs capture the audenice and bring them happiness and joy. My favourite moments of Mamma mia was when Sophie doesn’t marry Sky but her mum decides to marry Harry. This is a brilliant scene to watch and to listen to. I enjoyed the musicial and would see it again.
- 4. War Horse War Horse is about a boy who wants to have a horse that can lead him to war. Joey is the horse and the boy is only 14. He can’t go to war until the age of 18 so he decides to ride the horse before selling it to the army. It is quiet sad and tearful on stage but it still amazing and fantastic to see if you are going to the West End in London.
- 5. Les the madness of the French Revolution. Miserables Les Miserables is set during It is captured on stage by an award winning actors and actrees who try and play what the roles of the French Revolution would have been liked. The musicial has been running for 25 amazing years by Cameron Mackintosh who decided to write a musicial based upon the storyline of the French Revolution which has made many people go away and think about the musicial and what would happened during that period.
- 6. Cameron Mackintosh Cameron Mackintosh grew up in London. In 1985, a new musicial was announced and he decided to call it Les Miserables. He studied the book and try to copy the storyline and what to act and how he want people to react to the musicial. 25 amazing years later, the musicial is still growing strong and popular to many people in the West End of London. He has also written a new version of Oliver which starred Jodie Prenger who won the television programme I’D Do Anything and appered for 3 weeks on stage.
- 7. Andrew Lloyd Webber Andrew has written many different musicials in the west end. He has written Joseph, The Sound Of Music, Oliver and many different musicals. He is one of my favourite because he has a passion about music and what he wants different people to do about finding music. He has had 40 years in the business. In 2009, Andrew decided that he needed a new original act to go to Moscow to sing for Eurovision. He asked Jade Ewen to sing My Time which scored 5th place with 173 points.
