If you are a fan of musicals then this could be a show for you. Beyond the Barricade has been touring now for about 10 years and has a fantastic selection of songs from the musicals for almost 2 hours non stop.
I went & saw this show on Wednesday while they were in Fareham (one of my local venues) and i hadn't seen it for about 18 months & my they have improved on the show.
Last time i went & saw it the amount of 'talking' in between the songs was unbelievable & made the show drag but not now. There are more songs in the show & the musicals that they sang from were:
Jesus Christ Superstar
Phantom of the Opera
Cats
Blood Brothers
We Will Rock You
Miss Saigon
Spamalot
Lion King
and of course the fantastic show Les Mis
There is a cast of 4, the 2 men have been in the show from day one, they met when they were both doing Les Mis many years ago.
They have a live band & i do like having a live band in a show, makes it more don't know why and as i said they were non stop which makes a change.
They are touring around the UK so check your local venue for details, or check out their web site:

It is going to Bournemouth after the Summer so i may go there, if not then i know that they do a 'Christmas' show from December & that is going to Worthing after Christmas so i may check that one out as well.
One word of warning they use a lot of strobe lightening and can be quite dazzling.
Enjoy the show if you go
Catch you later
