Prince Andrew The Musical

[smurfchops]

Can someone tell me why asking Charles is portrayed as someone who looks nothing like him? Absolutely rubbish programme but can’t stop watching it.

I can't remember Charles ever having a goatee beard ir being so deeply sun tanned.

It was so bad it was good!

No ! Yes ! we were warned
Crits uniformly bad - Times pointed out that look alike Royals were in Crown - but deffo not this one.

and Munya Chawawa sported a goatee and dark skin. Written and composed by er Prince Andrew apparently ( Keith Hodgson )

I sat there thinking " he did a lot of this you know!"

Technically put together well - patter songs, one song leading to another, good varied dance routines - story had a story line....he (the Andrew) advanced from stupidity to his own ruin ( tragic even)

there is a genre - jaaaaawn - ruh - where you make non classically trained singers belt out the songs

and the dance routines were out of time - I thought perhaps to give it spontaneity. A few of the men were out of time and I thought " this lot should be able to do these routines er lying on their backs". (*)

I thought the amateur veneer - awful wigs - grimacing and the actor call-out on the stairs as the final scene - was intentional or er rehearsed to give it a worn look

(*) a LOT of a soloist framed by two dancers - and I thought "is their dance routine REALLY meant to be asymmetrical to give you something to look at, or are they out of time?"
