Bohemian Rhapsody - July 14th 2012- Eastbourne

Tonight after a long wait we finally managed to see Victoria in her current show Bohemian Rhapsody at The Congress Theatre in Eastbourne. We entered a large auditorium which housed a buzzing atmosphere of people eager for the show to start. We found our seats and settled down eager to watch the show. Showcasing the songs of Freddie Mercury and Queen through a ridiculousy talented cast of performers including Johnathan Ansell, Lucinda Shaw, Rachel Wooding and of course Victoria to mention but a few. All dressed to impress in flamboyant costumes of varying genres, from hard grungy rock to edgy wedding wear during the finale. Victoria dedicated one of her first songs "You're my best Friend" to us which was very sweet and shows how much she appreciates her fans and how much it means to her that each and everyone of you support her in what she does best! Highlights of the evening included Victoria's raunchy rendition of "killer queen", proving to all that she would make an excellent killer queen in the west end. Followed by Rachel woodings "it's a kind of magic". All together this was a very fun, lively and loud show with a lot of energy in the cast of dancers and singers. A visual and audio spectacular of costumes and an extremely talented live band. Victoria of course gave her all to the show,showing off her amazing vocal talents and pairing them with some wonderfully comic faces. Every song she sang had emotion and feeling to it resulting in her getting a big round of applause after each song. She sang "who wants to live forever" with Johathan Ansell it was powerful and evocative and their voices blended well together with nice harmonys. The night ended on a high with everyone up out of their seats, singing and dancing along to Queen classics Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions and of course We Will Rock You. Everyone left buzzing and there were many comments from the departing audience on how much they enjoyed the show. We certainly can't wait to see what is next for the wonderful Victoria.
