Disney's Broadway Hits at Royal Albert Hall

There is absolutely nothing to complain about when it comes to the quality of the singers and the orchestra. That said, and this is strictly a personal choice, I would have preferred it if there had been more songs that are instantly recognizable being included for someone like me who has never been blessed with the ability to see a Disney classic on the live stage. There were a number of wonderful memories attached to the songlist, however, so I did enjoy those a lot. The finale number is an especially great choice. All in all, if you are a Disney lover, this is well worth your time.

The singers here are absolutely fantastic, professional, easy on the eye and with the necessary voice quality to send the lyrics soaring. But they forgot the most important thing. For a program called "Disney's Broadway Hits", it was the hits, the songs themselves that should have been the stars, not the vocalists. This should have been a case of 'it's the song, not the singer'. They were so "noble' that they "nobled" the entertainment value out of existence.

Too many obscure songs, sung without a single blemish I admit, but causing me to fast forward to find songs that I knew. And when found, they were, in turn, found wanting. Some choreography, folks, would have enhanced and, for me, saved the entire show, which I abandoned before the end. Disney songs need to be performed, not just exquisitely sung.
