“Carousel” - May 27th ‘09
It was a fairly warm Tuesday in London,but it was even warmer inside the Savoy Theatre,where in my eyes I saw the best performances of ‘Carousel’ i’ve been lucky enough to see & hear over the last few months.
The afternoon performance was just a little subdued,but only a ‘little’...Jeremiah James & Alexandra Silber-what can you say about these two that i’ve not said already? Their interraction with each other is so believable-the expressions,emotion,tension...i admit the brilliance of the acting & the passion radiating from Alexandra & Jeremiah especially left me very misty-eyed...(inbetween the 2 performances I was walking down the Strand to get a coffee & I was in my own world)
On the stage-Jeremiah is totally committed to the role of Billy Bigelow.I don’t see Jeremiah on that stage-I see Billy Bigelow,that’s how much he’s made the ‘role’ his own.Once he steps off the ‘stage’ he’s back to being Jeremiah James-the very friendly,bubbly guy from America.
After a break it was time to head back into the Savoy…
“If we were any closer we would be on the stage” the guy next to me said to his wife...then he turned to me & asked “Is this show any good?"..."It’s just the best” I answered.
Without a doubt the evening performance was the best performance of the show i’ve seen so far.The entire cast really did ‘raise the bar’ & gave it everything they could give it.Jeremiah was at his supreme best!
Jeremiah you definitly gave it that 150% you spoke of vocally afterwards,as we made our way back to the underground.
I for one,am looking forward with immense interest,as to where the career of ‘Jeremiah James’ is heading…
Thanks for everything,so far…
best wishes Jacqueline
