Good Lifestyle

WhenThe sound of live music!was announced in 2012, it was charged as alarge television event-And with good reason. The December 2013 TELECAST marked the return of a tradition almost forgotten: the musician of live television. While the comments were mixed,Impressive Makes ambitious production a success of the notes and inaugurated in a new era of broadcasting musicals. Efftings since then have been decidedly struck or missed, however, and the future of the genre seems uncertain. While we are waiting for theendless Goodbye Birdie LiveFeaturedJennifer LopezHere is a ranking of what we saw so far.

If you are going to call a "live" show, you should probably make sure that is actually. And just toRent: LiveIt was the plan. But after starBRENNINE HUNT, who played Roger,broken one's foot During the repetition of the dress, the day before the performance has been attached to the live air, Fox made the oddness of the air a version of the show that was mainly pre-recorded.

What did that particularly strange was that font playing really live towards an audience - we just have not seen. The result was a confusing and excited production that lacked the living point living and compromised a strong handful of performance, includingJordan Fisheras a mark andVanessa HudgensLike Maureen.

It's a bit unfair to include foxesHorror rocky showOn a list ranking of recent television music, because unlike others, it was more of a television movie than a staging musical. But it is grouped with the rest often enough to be a fair game, which asks the question, why has not been done in the first place? And since it was not, why was not it more polite? In case of castingLavante Cox As Father Frank-N-Furter seemed to be an inspired choice, she was retained by a production far too much vanilla to feel realRocky horror.

Of all live musicals in recent years,A live Christmas story!is the one who is most likely to inspire "wait, it happened?" reaction. Indeed, he did it, but unfortunately, he was just not so memorable. It did not help but the musicalA Christmas storynever wasThe beloved classic that the film of 1983 is (despite the fact that the composers of the show,Benj Pasek andJustin Paul, have a great success with musicals likeDear Evan Hansenand the movieThe biggest show)

For film fansA Christmas storyThe musical adaptation of Fox television was largely disturbed, too distorted production with forgetting songs. The real bright spots here were two show showsSaturday Night LiveAluns with exceptional voices:Maya rudolph andANA GASTEYER.

BeforePeter Pan Live!had even broadcast,Allison Williams-Who is played in the titular role - would feel defensive,complaint on the concept of hatred monitoring. And it was right to fear that viewers do not take largely the version of the NBC of classical music of 1954, which had already had decades of preliminary famous television adaptation; In their examination of the show,The daily beast Called "an inexcusable bore".

It was not Williams's fault that thisPeterdid not really work, however: the show as a whole was too long - especially with the addition of new songs - and it has never captured the magic which is an essential ingredient ofPeterThe success of this one. The weakest link wasChristopher Walken, who played Captain Hook. Despite his history at the theater, he seemed completely out of his element. Of course, Peter Pan stole, but at what cost?

NbcThe sound of live music!is the one that started everything - or rather, started everything again. The production was sufficient for a success to bring back music live on broadcast television and, in this sense, we owe them a gratitude debt. But that does not mean it was the best of the best.

Of course, the first time the municipality of live broadcast in ages was required to have kinks to work - and sometimes working inThe sound of musicThe favor, giving it a little rough charm. After a while, amateur quality started to wear slim. And whileCarrie Underwoodwas better than credit for as Maria, he was just not just putting it andStephen Moyer on the same step as Broadway veterans likeLaura BenantiandAudra McDonald, which has easily stole the show.

Here's where these rankings range from badly imperfect for legitimately good. That does not meanHairspray live!was perfect, but the production of NBC of the 2002 musical comedy (which is based on worshipJohn Waters Film) marked a major improvement compared to the initial offers of the network, even if it did not affect the heights of subsequent entries in this list.

GetHarvey FairteinReprogramming his state of state of Edna was a major blow, as well as finding new talents in the charmingMaddie Baillio, who played like Tracy. Really, the castingHairspray live!was his biggest asset because it's hard to go wrong withAriana Grande,Jennifer Hudsonand Broadway SweetheartKristin Chenoweth. The real MVP of production was howeverColombe Cameron, the early early amber von imaginable.

Easily the best live TV musicians from Fox,Fat: LivingPoints earned to try to determine the best way to adapt a musical stage on television. Having a live audience added a real energy to the procedure, even if the choice to divide the spectators into various fields so that the cameras can move between scenes was something of a mixed bag. Hey, it was an experience and at the very least, it gets points of ambition.

StarsAaron TVEITandJulianne Houghwere solid, but the real standouts (again) were Vanessa Hudgens, who courageously played duringMourning the death of his fatherand Jordan Fisher, whose performance of"These magic changes" was the most electrical moment of all the broadcast.

The first two efforts of NBC in the new era of disseminated television musical comedions were strong enough to get the bearing of the ball, but they were weighed on the challenges of the format and very questionable casting choices.The live wiz!Was the moment when they really started understanding it, especially when it came to flow.

The production was an excellent reminder that you can launch big names without sacrificing talent, which was an embarrassment of wealth on both fronts;The live wiz! starMary J. Blige,Queen latifah,Common,Ne-yo... the list continues. But the wisest casting choice of all turned out to have a chance on a newcomer:Shanice Williams. She was a wonderful Dorothy and looking at her performance throughout the evening, showed how special it is to see a star born.

The last big size of the music channel, but I do not hope the lastalready-NBC'sJesus Christ Superstar live in concertFinally found the perfect formula to balance the separate pleasure of the musical theater living with the "filmed for television"Format. With a general public and a dozen cameras, production has managed to be expanding and intimate, which is exactly the right atmosphere forAndrew Lloyd WebberandTim Rice1970 Rock Opera.
