I attended one of the previews and having been to them before I knew that the show I saw might not be the one I saw later during the run.
What I wasn�t prepared for is how fantastic Phil was � I expected to see some nerves from him as it was still a very new part but if he was nervous then it didn�t show.
He sang like I�d never heard him before, his voice sounded so strong and clear and he sang a range of ballads and rock songs which was just brilliant and suited his voice wonderfully.
Phil plays acoustic and electric guitar, flute and keyboards, I�d never seen him play the keyboards before and he does this during the final two songs of the show. During the encore he even performs a very small guitar solo. He doesn�t play an instrument during the first half of the show so it�s all done during the second but apart from his guitar playing during the encore it�s all done at the back of the stage.
He has three costumes during the show, a school uniform and trousers, polo shirt and jumper are worn during the first half and a jacket, purple shirt and flared jeans are worn during the second � also during the second half he wears a wig as it�s meant to be 1968 and at the height of Flower Power. I�m not exactly sure if the wig suits him but it does reflect the times very well.
The one thing I�m sure that will get mentioned a lot is that during the first half Phil shows off his body during a bed scene with Emily Gardner as Kathy.
Phil�s acting was just superb from when he was a na�ve teenager struggling with his feelings to the final emotional scenes in the hospital with Kathy which are so emotional.
I enjoyed the show immensely and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Phil�s. I do believe that this is the best show he has done and as always he gives 100%.
Well done Phil you were amazing
