Prince Edward Theatre
London
23 September 2007
Excerpt from the review on Broadwayworld.com:
The show was hosted with his accustomed charm and panache by John Barrowman, who is now so well known for his television role in hit Dr. Who spin-off "Torchwood" and as "Maria" and "Joseph" judge that people often forget his astonishing track record in musical theatre. If there was any doubt as to whether Barrowman's talents belong more on the musical theatre stage or on the small screen, those doubts were wiped away during the evening at the Prince Edward. His first solo was a beautiful rendition of "It Only Takes A Moment", followed later by a close to perfect interpretation of Herman's own favourite song, "I Won't Send Roses". Towards the end of the evening he returned to the stage, a genuine diva complete with his pink boa, and sang the hell out of "I Am What I Am" (from La Cage Aux Folles) - a performance that rightly earned him one of the longest standing ovations I have ever witnessed in a West End theatre.
