YouTube - BluesBrothers Musical live on stage Japan tour 2009

[Naniwa-Elwood]

just saw the show yesterday, and had a lot of fun!

however, surprisingly enough, it was not a "musical", but a live show, with no stories involved. was a bit disappointing, as i had expected that it would be something just like a normal musical show provides.

as a member of a tribute band playing here in tokyo japan, there were a lot to learn (steal) from them, as well.

then, i would like to see a real musical of bb next time.
has anybody seen these below?? how was it?

Hi Nani,
I've seen two of them.
I really got to say that both shows are not representative of what is going on in the UK.
'BB Party' is certainly not The 'Official' show and is not very good. It is merely a 'gig' on stage.
The cast need some soul!
'Unlimited' were put together solely for the Gulf and is okay! Ryan Molloy is no longer with show as he now plays Franki Valli in THE JERSEY BOYS in London's West End.
Fellas, your band doesn't need to beg, borrow or steal anything from these shows - you have what these guys will never have......
SOUL!
The 'REVUE' however is US based and they seem great and I wouldn't mind checking them out.
Keep rockin'
