Customer Response

Superb concert!
If you're buying this DVD because of Gillian Anderson, you should know she only makes one introduction at the beginning and is on screen for about 60 seconds. However, if you're buying this because you want to see an excellent concert with outstanding performances, then you are in the right place! My personal favorites were Leslie Garrett singing "If I Loved You", and Judi Dench's hilarious performance in "Sixteen Going on Seventeen". Both performances are priceless. Each and every performance was outstanding, and I think you will enjoy this DVD very much.

A real stinker
Oy, what a disappointment. Very poor recording quality of this live performance -- sounds like someone on the front row recorded it with an old cassette tape pocket device. The Judi Dench number ("Sixteen Going On Seventeen") is a hoot, and there's a pretty colorful number from Oklahoma ("Kansas City"), but they can't compensate for the rest of this very sub-par project. It is anything but "enchanting".

false advertising?
MS ANDERSON, THOUGH LISTED IN THE CREDITS AND ON THE FRONT OF THE JACKET,
DOES NOT APPEAR IN A PERFORMANCE ROLE. SHE DOES A SHORT INTRODUCTION ONLY. THE MUSICAL PORTION OF THE DVD IS COMMENDABLE, HOWEVER.

Send In the Clowns by Judi
I bought this primarily for Judi Dench singing "Send In the Clowns" and was justly rewarded for doing so. This was a wonderful presentation and then you get all the other great performances as well.

Worth every penny.

AN ENCHANTED EVENING
VERY VERY ENJOYABLE-- GREAT MUSIC, GREAT PERFORMERS. LOVELY EVENING WHICH GAVE A LASTING PLEASENT FEELING.
