Light the Night 2009

A yearly tradition is usually a good thing but this year's Light the Night at the beautiful City Recital Hall seemed to be lacking something or maybe just having way too many ballads.

The usually upbeat and funny affair only had moments of humour provided by the likes of Avenue Q (we all know how I felt about this show) and Trevor Ashley doing his take on an over exposed Liza. Can she really be on another TV show to try and help her small sales in way too large venues, an email hit my inbox a little while ago, 2 for 1 to see Liza in Melbourne, Adelaide or some other city other than the FAB Sydney!

Anyway back to the show again the highlight would have to have been Lior and then he did a lovely duet with Katioe Noonan in place of Sia for his beautiful and sublime track "I'll Forget You".

The show was good and entertaining however I have enjoyed it more in the past, next year a few more up tempo numbers would definitely be a good thing!

Light the Night rates 3 Stars.
