For those of you who don't know, Beyond the Barricade is a show which re-creates songs from all your favourite West End and Broadway shows. I had seen this show a few years ago so when I found out that I had won the tickets I was so excited especially as this year the show is celebrating its 15 year anniversary.
The show consisted of 4 performed all of who have graced the stage of the West End in various shows on numerous occasions. When me and mum got to the theatre we were delighted to find that we had fantastic seats. We took our seats and we were gripped as soon as the show started. The show is absolutely fantastic. You all know how much I love musicals anyway but I love the fact that this show combined both the songs from the classical musicals such as Miss Saigon to New musicals such as Wicked. There were songs from musicals I have seen and loved such as Phantom of the Opera and Jekyll and Hyde and songs from musicals which make me want to see them even more such as Blood Brothers! My favourite part of the show defiantly had to be the end section which as you may have guessed from the name of the show, is dedicated to the songs from Les Miserables. Now you know much I love Les Miserables! It is probably my favourite west end show. You just can't help but fall in love with the songs!
The show was absolutely amazing! It is currently touring the UK and if you get the chance to see it you definitely should, whether your new to musicals or a firm lover. The singing in this show is amazing! Each of the 4 singers have an amazing musical CV which is evident in their fantastic voices! It was lovely as well that there was such a mix of ages at the show too. In fact my mum and I made friends with a lovely old couple we were sat next to! The lady was blind and we got chatting to her about the show and how much she was enjoying it! Something for everyone to enjoy!
If your interested in seeing the show you can check out their shows here where they have a list of their remaining shows.
I can not thank The Regent Theatre and Beyond the Barricade enough for the competition to win these tickets. Me and my mum had a fantastic night.
