FAST LOVE
ADELPHI THEATRE
Tuesday 20th June
“FASTLOVE The George Michael Tribute is the world’s favourite George Michael celebration.
Few shows have reached the dizzy heights of Fastlove, now touring in 18 countries, selling over 250,000 tickets worldwide. Join us for a very special night as we celebrate the late great George Michael. Our talented cast, led by Joseph Sansome as George Michael, will recreate a night like no other. Make new memories whilst reliving old classics – this one is for the fans as we celebrate one of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen, and we say thank you! This show has it all, the power, emotion and star quality in this stunning production with full video and light show, as we respectfully recreate the soundtrack to your life. Playing all the hits, from Wham! right through his glittering career, including, Wake Me Up, Too Funky, Father Figure, Freedom, Faith, Knew You Were Waiting, Careless Whisper and many more. This is a tribute show and is in no way affiliated with any original artists/estates/management companies or similar shows.”Review by Richard Lambert, 3 Stars
Great songs, West End lighting rig and full scale video all combine in this one-off concert from ENTERTAINERS touring FAST LOVE across the UK. It looks tremendous and fans of George Michael and WHAM! had a blast at this concert at the Adelphi, on top of the lighting rig for resident musical “BACK TO THE FUTURE”.
The lighting used great colour choices with the usual effects packages. Not theatrical in style, more rock n roll where the singer is in a Follow-Spot while the lights rove around. Often roving the audience.
The video content fairly standard in nature but matching the mood and style of the songs set list. Blackouts in-between. Haze and fog effects judicously used.
Anyone taking photos or videos of the concert was in for a treat – this is one show that looks fantastic on mobile phones! With the 5 piece band mainly dark and in silhouette, similarly the backing vocalists, it possibly looks better on the mobile phones than in real life.
The audience encouraged to be mainly on their feet and dancing throughout made it a little difficult to watch and see the stage however, without any dancers, and dark musicians, it didn’t matter so much if you couldn’t see. Large scale sound processing enabled a big sound throughout.
A definite must-see for fans of George Michael!
