Summary: Review...
Review: The only dark moment in the video was Antonio Banderas. He couldn't even pronounce the words right, nontheless sing with emotion. OTherwise, the concert was great...Michael Ball, Glenn Close were excellent...Michael Crawford, however, should have been there.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: too overrated
Review: Good sound quality, poor musical substanc

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL SINGING
Review: WOW!!! I was so amazed at the performance of Glenn Close...never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that she could sing like that!!! Michael Ball was amazing with his voice that can hypnotize anyone, and Elaine Paige, she is the one and only. Wonderful video, even my three younger sisters (one is 12) love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best viedos I have ever purchased
Review: Enjoyed the viedo very much. Was disappointed that it did not come with a list of who was singing each song. Knew most of them but would like to know the name of the person singing the last "whistle down the wind". it was beautiful

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW
Review: I absolutely loved this video! I'm a huge Andrew Lloyd Webber fan and this was a great way to experience his music. Michael Ball totally stole the show, expecially with Gesthemane (I think that's how you spell it). It would have been nice to see Michael Crawford play the Phantom but Antonio did a great job. Tina Arena's rendition of Whistle Down the Wind was incredible and Boyzone was also great. What more can I say? I LOVE this video!!!

Summary: 5 Awesome's: My family's Favorite
Review: One late night my brother called me and said, "You should watch TV right now!". When I turned TV on quickly, Sarah Brightman was singing with her beautiful voice in this wonderful concert. As I really liked the concert, I started to record it on VCR. However, I could not but buy this video for my own since I didn't want to miss previous parts. Actually I bought 3 copies, two of which were for my brother and sister who also love this concert.

How I love this video! It shouldn't be better. I've already enjoyed another Andrew's video "Premere Collection", but this one is a lot better; exciting, absorbing and mersmerising. I do like all the 24 songs and tunes performed mostly with beautiful chorus, exciting dances and harmonic accompaniment by the great orchestra. In particular, "The heart is slow to learn" by Kiri Te Kanawa is too beautiful to express with words. And it's good to see Donny Osmond and Bonnie Tyler again. I never knew before Glenn Close and Antonio Banderas were such good singers. And Michael Ball, Elain Paige..... Yes, it's a night of a thousand stars. Only one thing this concert misses I think is the original Phantom: Michael Crawford.

How funny it is that my nephew and nieces aged 8 to 10 got crazy for Boyzone with the song "No matter what". They are even eager to learn English and play the song with their instruments: piano and violin. (Is there anyone who can advise me how to get the score?) This video really is my family's favorite.

I'd like to urge "PolyGram" to release this video to DVD very soon. And thank you Andrew for your marvelous works!!

Summary: A definative collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber's best.
Review: A "once in a lifetime" gathering of musical theatre's greatest stars performing show-stopping songs must be seen to be believed. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has established his place in history as one of the theatre's best and most successful composers. This video is a fabulous collection of his music that will appeal to audiences of all musical tastes. Highlights include Glenn Close as Norma Desmond from "Sunset Boulivard", Elaine Paige's beautiful rendition of "Memory" from "Cats" and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa performing a new ballad from the upcoming "Phantom of the Opera" sequel. The production is first class, the vocal performances breathtaking and the scale of Lloyd Webber's work is nothing short of incredible. It is rare that so many original stars have been captured performing so many show stopping numbers on one video. A truely historic evening captured for all time. A must see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The highest form of talent in music and presentation.
Review: I must rate this a 5 star production due to the music and presentation. I am now ordering my 3rd copy. Even my 8 yr old and 4 yr old grandchildren have come to love the music of ALW. However, I have to agree with the comments of a previous customer. I would like to have seen the credits attached to this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This one's a MUST SEE for all music lovers!
Review: What a wonderful feast of sight and sound. Donny Osmond should be on broadway. Who knew? Sarah Brightman, as always, is lovely and amazing. Antonio Banderas - Oh yes, he CAN play the Phantom. Great music, mega-stars to perform it, beautiful setting, what more could you want?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As good as it gets!
Review: Damn this video production. it is the cause of my having to get a new 68cm television set..and a good one..a Leowe. A musical delight..a technical achievement. Choreog and staging is SIMPLY wonderful. The sound is astonishing and it all complements the great talent and artistry of so many ALWebber performing devotees. I wish I'd been in Albert Hall. I'd have flown from Sydney. Let's have the DVD version now. Please..and more from this production team.
