Dr Zhivago the musical was wonderful. What a fabulous cast; such brilliant acting, lovely voices and proudly Australian! Lucy Simon has blessed us with a wonderful score to go with such a tragically beautiful and romantic story. It was 2.5 hrs of musical bliss. Lucy Simon has a real way with harmonies, which was really apparent in her score for The Secret Garden too.
It's not exactly your usual happy-go-lucky musical with comic relief; there are a few lighter moments but it is quite a dark story, given the backdrop of the Russian revolution. But it's one of those stories that will really stay with you always; it is very poetic and says so much about the passion and drive of living, of survival.
And noone better than Mr Anthony Warlow to bring this musical to life, with his own experiences from battling and overcoming cancer, but moreover what a voice!
So, Dr. Zhivago the Musical, a must see if you haven't already done so! Currently playing at Her Majesty's Theatre, Melbourne until June 26th.
