West End Stars In Concert @ Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur (14/4/11)
WEST END STARS ROCK ISTANA BUDAYA, LITERALLY!!!
Story: Anastasia & Dragon Photos: Dragon
Ramin, Stephen & Simon had everyone reason to smile.
If you could only afford to go to one concert in a year, this should be the one. It had just about everything - passion, drama, tenderness, inspiration, exhilaration, sophistication, unbridled energy and pure heart. In short, it simply rocked, and quite literally too. The West End mega trio of Stephen Rahman-Hughes, Simon Bailey & Ramin Karimloo may be acclaimed musical theatre heavyweights, but they exuded a rock star quality about them when they flexed their vocal muscles at Istana Budaya last night. It was no surprise then that they concluded their sizzling West End Stars In Concert media preview with a flaming rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody delivered at the end of the medley of Queen songs, from the We Will Rock You musical, which would have even had the late Freddie Mercury applauding in delight from rock star heaven. And then came the mega clincher, that no self respecting music lover should ever miss. An encore, so brilliantly conceived and so perfectly rendered that it had the delighted audience in the hall up on their feet and in song along with the charismatic lads.
The mother of all encores as far as local music lovers are concerned.
Full story and complete pics coming up.
West End Stars In Concert opens to public today, 15th April, 2011, and will run for just 2 days. Details are here:
