Michelle Bachmann's appearance yesterday on This Week with Jake Tapper was one of her more cringe-inducing performances. Not because she isn't someone incapable of delivering lines and staying on message, but because the content of her message is so obviously boilerplate campaignspeak from someone who's so clearly sliding too far down, too fast to win. Instead, she's promising a "miracle:" >
TAPPER: My next guest sounds just as confident, but her path forward is a lot more murky. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann joins me from Des Moines.
Congresswoman, thanks for joining us, and happy new year.
BACHMANN: Happy new year to you. Great to be on with you this morning, Jake.
TAPPER: So the last time you and I spoke, you had just won the Iowa straw poll. The Des Moines Register poll had you tied for first place with Mitt Romney with 22 percent of the vote. Now that same poll has you with 7 percent of the vote. What happened to your campaign?
BACHMANN: Well, we've had a very good campaign. And I think what's happened is, a lot of candidates have come in, and Iowa voters and national voters have taken a look at all of the other candidates. But we have done I think what no other candidate has done, and that is, after the last debate, we've gone across all of Iowa, all 99 counties, and we've actually done heavy, heavy retail politics where we've gone into cafes and into living rooms of Iowans, and we've made a very strong connection with a lot of people.
And if you look at the polls, it's upwards of 40 percent to 50 percent of Iowans haven't made their decision yet. And I think the polls, what they're reflecting will be very different from what we're seeing on Tuesday night, because people make their decision, quite honestly, in the caucus room. Iowa is very different. People gather in living rooms. They gather in elementary schools and churches, and they make their decision on the spot with their neighbors. And we have done, like I said, what no other candidate has done the last two weeks. We've put over -- almost 7,000 miles on our bus, and we've literally gone from town to town to town meeting with people directly. And we saw thousands of people switch their vote just in the last couple of weeks, so we think there's going to be a very profound shift that people see on Tuesday night.
TAPPER: Well, one of the -- one of the dilemmas that you've had is that a lot of the voters that you are competing for, conservative voters, Christian evangelicals in some cases, are also being wooed by Rick Santorum and Rick Perry. And Santorum has momentum right now. He is at third place in the Des Moines Register poll. And if you look at the last two days, he's in second place. He has strong social conservative credentials. He's fluent in foreign affairs. He won statewide twice in a key swing state, Pennsylvania. So why should voters go for you and not him?
BACHMANN: Well, because I'm the strongest core conservative in this race. There is no comparison with all of the other candidates and my credentials. No other candidate has current national security experience in the race. I sit on the House Intelligence Committee. I am daily involved with the issue of national security. No other candidate is.
And as what we -- what we are seeing happening with Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, that will be a formidable issue immediately with the next commander-in-chief. I'm ready. No other candidate is currently ready in that issue.
Gee, Michelle, I know it makes me feel better that you'll lie about Iran "obtaining" a nuke. It shows you'll say anything at all to win - always a great quality in a president. >
Also, I'm the only federal tax litigation attorney in this race. When it comes to dealing with the number-one issue that's on voters' minds, which is out-of-control spending, I have that credential in spades over any other candidate, because no other candidate was leading on this issue in the halls of Congress or in Washington or nationally. I'm the one that called for saying "no" to letting Barack Obama increase the national credit card limit.
Psst, Michelle honey? Try not to say things like that around sane people. It doesn't help. >
And when it comes to social issues, there's no one who can -- who can compare with my record. I'm a mother of five, a foster mother to 23 children that we've raised, and also I have an unassailable record on life, on marriage, on religious liberty. So when it comes to values and issues, there is no one who comes close to where I am on those issues.
But I think even more so, I'm the one that's been proven and tested in the fires of Washington, and that's why I think you saw people vote for me in the Iowa straw poll, but also it's what we have done on the ground. No other candidate has done more retail campaigning on the ground.
TAPPER: But...
BACHMANN: And I think we'll bear the fruit of that on Tuesday night.
TAPPER: But with all due respect, Congresswoman, this is the same pitch you've been making all summer and all fall and -- and up until today, and you're in last place, according to the polls. And -- and somebody that has similar credentials to you and a similar appeal to you, Rick Santorum, is showing huge momentum. Why you over him?
BACHMANN: Well, again, I think the polls take a few days to catch up. And -- and we have made that incredible deposit of going in every single county. We've drawn 300 people at a stop, 250 people at a stop, and I think a lot of that isn't yet reflected in the polls. And the main thing will be on Tuesday night.
We're looking forward. We're not looking in the rear-view mirror. And what we're seeing going forward, especially with the tremendous outpouring of young people that are coming out to work on our phone banks and to go lit dropping and door-to-door is nothing short of amazing. We're -- we're number-one in the category of enthusiasm. If you look at all of the candidates, which candidate has the most enthusiasm among their supporters, I'm that candidate. I'm number-one with the 18- to 29-year-old voters, which are highly motivated, and they're doing all of the work.
So I think that if you look at my past races, and polling data showed me actually losing and 8 points behind in previous races that I've had when I've run for Congress, and yet I -- I win by 8 and 13 points. So polls don't -- are -- sometimes belie the truth on the ground, and that's what we see. This isn't just about polling. This is about what we're seeing in reality, and I think Tuesday night people are going to see a miracle.
TAPPER: In the last week, your campaign has gotten involved in a big kerfuffle about one of your top supporters, your chairman in Iowa defecting and going to the Ron Paul campaign. I don't want to get into the weeds on that debate. There was a back-and-forth about whether or not he was paid off. He denied that you accused him of doing that. But this is not the first time you've made a charge like this. You've also said this about other supporters with Newt Gingrich in Georgia, with Rick Santorum.
Don't you risk -- making these charges, doesn't that risk voters seeing you as making a final gasp of desperation?
BACHMANN: Oh, for Heaven's sake. Of course not. What this shows is the tremendous momentum that we have out of the last debate. From person after person, they said that I won the last debate in Sioux City, Iowa. And the reason why is because, when Ron Paul made his very dangerous statements, which is he was just fine with Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, or with Newt Gingrich taking $1.6 million from Freddie Mac and he was unable to defend that, I -- I took it to them.
And what people saw during the last debate is that I have the ability, of all of the candidates on the stage, I have the best ability to take it to Barack Obama in the debate and hold him accountable. We had tremendous momentum coming out of the last debate, and we saw it in county after county in our 99-county tour, where people were just appalled by Ron Paul's position. They thought it was dangerous.
That's why we saw literally thousands of people switching their decision on the spot, and that's what you saw, was this crush of momentum. And so we saw some different actions coming out of the Ron Paul campaign. And I think that people will be very surprised at the results on Tuesday night, because I think people will see a lot of defections away from Ron Paul because they see -- especially with the aggressive nature of the actions on the part of Iran in the Straits of Hormuz, people are seeing how important it is that we have a commander-in-chief who is conversant, prepared, knowledgeable, and has good judgment on foreign affairs. And of all of the candidates in the race, I'm best suited for that -- that portion of being commander-in- chief.
TAPPER: Congresswoman, we only have a little bit of time left, so last question. In the interests of candor and being based in reality, positing that you feel that you're going to have a very good night on Tuesday and that all the polls are wrong and you're going to do well, but assuming that the polls are right, isn't that, practically speaking, the end of your campaign if you come in last on Tuesday?
BACHMANN: Well, we've bought tickets to head off to South Carolina. And we are looking forward to the debates. January is a very full month. We're here for the -- for the long -- for the long race. This is a 50-state race. And we intend to participate not only in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, but to go all the way, because I intend to be the Republican nominee and defeat Barack Obama in 2012, because America needs a candidate that will be in the legacy of a Ronald Reagan and of a Margaret Thatcher. That's what I intend to do, is to be America's iron lady.
TAPPER: All right. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, good luck on Tuesday. And hope you have a wonderful 2012.
BACHMANN: Thank you. Same to you and your listeners.

Ed Norton on Crowdrise: A Social Site You'll Care About

Actor Edward Norton uses his own site Crowdrise, a crowdsourcing site for charitable causes, as an example to argue against Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker assessment that social networks cannot foster substantive relationships. "We didn't want it to be a use and drop utility," says Norton of Crowdrise. "We wanted it to be a personal narrative platform where you anchor your activist life."

"I See Men As Trees Walking" Preacher Mark Diener "Spiritual Sight" Pastor Nelson Turner 2 13 2011 Av1611 Reformation Com
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 19:43:35 02/23/11
Preacher Mark Diener has been an activist against moral decay in our society by publicly upholding the word of God, and insisting that the "diversity" of the Christian lifestyle and Christian belief be honored, upheld and protected by society even as this society dismantles itself by elevating perverse, abominable, wicked beliefs and practices to the level of preferred status. Preacher Diener visited Faith Road Baptist Church on February 13, 2011 and delivered a brief talk and teaching on things he has observed and come to see by God's grace in the seventeen years since he has been reborn and blessed in the New Life of the Lord. He preached Mark 8:22-25 ("I see men as trees, walking") as the unifying theme of his sermon. Following Mark's words, Pastor Nelson Turner gave a brief teaching he had prepared on "Spiritual Sight". Not having known in advance of the theme of Preacher Diener's talk, this came as confirmation of the direction and presence of the Lord in the service according to the Lord's promise (Matthew 18:19-20). If this sermon is a blessing to you, or if you have honest questions about the Bible and Christianity, please write to Pastor Turner at drogheda@comcast.net. Visit www.AV1611Reformation.com for other sermons and study materials to help you by God's grace to improve your understanding and practice of the Christian faith which God has freely given to you. Pastor Turner is also the author of two books God's Divorce - detailing the true Bible doctrine of divorce, and, The Mind of the Jesuit:Signs, Symbols, Dogma and the Devil. Both may be ordered from the website store at www.Av1611Reformation.com .

A special study sermon by Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.com preached from the word of God in the English language, the King James Bible (Authorized Version 1611), for the edification and instruction of God's people, concerning God's promise to Abraham regarding the peoples that would come forth from him and the unique promises regarding the bloodline through Isaac and Jacob. Particular attention is given to the current distortions and corrupted understandings regarding those promises by "preachers" who do not know or desire to compare scripture to scripture and so have concocted all kinds of opinions which can be proven from scripture to be contrary to God's word.

READ: John 13:31%mdash14:14
THINK: Most people in the world are offended by the view that there is only one way to God. Popular consensus says that there are any number of equally valid faiths and paths to %ldquoGod.%rdquo Those who hold this misguided notion are not just rejecting a Christian worldview; they are rejecting Jesus%rsquo own claim. Perhaps the only way they%rsquoll consider the truth is if they begin to see the reality of Christ%rsquos life and love in those who claim to follow Him. If their relation- ships with God and each other convey an accurate image of Jesus, people may begin to see who He really is and begin to understand that His exclusive claim is really an open invitation to ultimate fulfillment and eternal life.
RESPOND: What does it mean to %ldquolove one another%rdquo as Jesus loved us? (See 13:34.) How would you describe this love? (See 13:35 note.) How does this command apply specifically to other Christians? Does this mean we should all believe the same things? Why or why not? What things must we not compromise in our relationships with other believers? Why is it so important that Christians%rsquo relationships be characterized by self-sacrificing love? What happens if Christians don%rsquot demonstrate this type of devotion to Jesus and to one another? What hope did Jesus give us before He left earth? (See 14:2 and 14:3 notes.) How do His promises affect your outlook on life? What does it mean that Jesus is %ldquothe way and the truth and the life%rdquo? (See 14:6 note.) Why is He the only way to God the Father? Why do most people reject this view? How would you answer this objection? What do Jesus%rsquo words in verses 9-11 indicate about His rela- tion to God the Father? In what ways would Jesus%rsquo followers do %ldquogreater things%rdquo than He did while on earth? (See 14:12 note.) In what way are these things still a credit to Jesus? What does it mean to ask for things in Jesus name? (See 14:13 note.) What privileges and responsibilities does this imply for you personally?
PRAY: Ask Jesus to help you develop a more selfless and sacrificial love for other Christians so that non-Chris- tians get an accurate view of Jesus%rsquo love through you. Thank Jesus for preparing a place for you in heaven and for His promise to return for you. Pray with an intense awareness of Jesus%rsquo authority, power and love for you.
ACT: Make a deliberate effort to show kindness to everyone today (as you always should). Go out of your way to show particular kindness to fellow Christians, especially those at school or work with whom you might not typically spend time. Also, review the 14:6 note for more insight on Jesus being the only way to God. Keep in mind that it%rsquos not your job to prove that. It%rsquos Jesus%rsquo own claim. People must choose whether or not to take Him at His Word.

A Better Country
John Dickinson
“Rendering thanks to my Creator for my existence and station among His works, for my birth in a country enlightened by the Gospel and enjoying freedom, and for all His other kindnesses, to Him I resign myself, humbly confiding in His goodness and in His mercy through Jesus Christ for the events of eternity.”
John Langdon
“In the name of God, Amen. I, John Langdon, … considering the uncertainty of life and that it is appointed unto all men once to die [Heb. 9:27], do make, ordain and publish this my last will and testament in manner following, that is to say-First: I commend my soul to the infinite mercies of God in Christ Jesus, the beloved Son of the Father, who died and rose again that He might be the Lord of the dead and of the living…professing to believe and hope in the joyful Scripture doctrine of a resurrection to eternal life . . .”
Robert Treat Paine
“I desire to bless and praise the name of God most high for appointing me my birth in a land of Gospel Light where the glorious tidings of a Savior and of pardon and salvation through Him have been continually sounding in mine ears.”
Benjamin Rush
“My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!”
John Witherspoon
“I entreat you in the most earnest manner to believe in Jesus Christ, for there is no salvation in any other [Acts 4:12] … If you are not reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, if you are not clothed with the spotless robe of His righteousness, you must forever perish.”
Hebrews 11:1-3 ( NASB )
1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2For by it the men of old gained approval.
3By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
Hebrews 11:6 ( NASB )
6And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Hebrews 11:8-10 ( NASB )
8By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; 10for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Hebrews 11:13-15 ( NASB )
“13All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. 15And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.”
Hebrews 11:16 ( NASB )
16But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
Romans 10:8-13
“8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth & in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, & believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, & with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”…for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13for
“Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.””
John Quincy Adams
“In the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior. The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.”
Sixth President Of The United States; Diplomat; Secretary Of State; U. S. Senator; U. S. Representative; John Quincy Adams, An Oration Delivered Before the Inhabitants of the Town of Newburyport at Their Request on the Sixty-First Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1837 (Newburyport: Charles Whipple, 1837), pp. 5-6. http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=8755#FN9

REVIEWS "Musical medley of smashing vocals" Fozia Noreen for Remotegoat Is it really worth going to watch a show called 'Bravo', which promises to deliver a musical medley of numerous past and future musical scores with a sprained ankle? Yes, my fellow readers, I genuinely did have a sprained ankle, while I sat there in a somewhat sophisticated and jazzy atmosphere in an Italian restaurant. The answer is absolutely, it was worth every slow and sometimes painful step because the performances were so outstanding. Although all the performers on the night were stunning, despite the fact they had no props or costumes to help them deliver the song as the character in the musical, Arabella Rodrigo definitely stole the show. 'I Can Sing' from 'Tales of Tinseltown' and 'Now That He Is Gone' from 'All About Love', showed off the versatility in her singing. Having said that, it is very difficult to favour one singer's performance over another because each singer bought their own quality to the performance. It was not just a routine cabaret night, but it essentially was a small window into the soul of musicals consisting of great voices and acting skills, without a setting. Another striking point in the show, was when Giles Howe sang 'Lost For Words', which is sung by a female in the upcoming show 'Soviet Zion' and when Charlotte Donald sang 'It's Up To Me', which is sung by a male in 'Prince And The Pauper'. I cannot be sure why they decided to do this, but it does mean that if the singing is of high quality, conviction and literally blows you away, then the audience will not care for any thing else. A great show and a great night. My ankle was very thankful. Carrie Dunn for Broadway World If you've read any of my articles about theatre, you'll probably know by now that I love musicals. I'm delighted when I can support new writing or promote it in any way that I can. Providing, of course, that it's up to scratch, or there's plenty of potential there. First off, then, I must congratulate Giles Howe and Katy Lipson for their innovation, A Stage Kindly, where new work from around the world is showcased by a professional cast of performers. This show, Bravo, featured musicals from the UK, the US, Australia and the continent, sung by four vocalists (plus Howe and Lipson themselves) and accompanied by a two-piece band. I greatly enjoyed the vocals of Frank Loman as well as Charlotte Donald, whose acting prowess was finely conveyed in such a limited showcase. I'd seen Adam Bayjou in Rue Magique, but fortunately that hasn't hamstrung him and again his singing was extremely touching. Sarah Loader for Fringe Report Bravo by A Stage Kindly is a relaxed night of high-class musical theatre in a cabaret setting. A stunning cast, led by musical director Katy Lipsonand singer Giles Howe, showcases songs from nearly 20 new works from Australia, America, UK, France,Italy. The versatile voice of Arabella Rodrigocuts seamlessly between sultry whispered phrases to full throttle belting - setting the bar high for the other singers. She opens the second act with the excellently written It's All in the Ball, and wows again with heartbreaking duet 'Don't Cry Butterfly'. Frank Loman sings 'Chasing Rainbows'. It's the first of many songs from new work Whitechapel, set in the East End of Victorian London, about a passionate, seemingly doomed love affair. Chasing Rainbows gives a fragment of the story; the singer's expertise makes it tantalising. Charlotte Donald is equally enchanting, providing the highlight of the first act with comic song Marry Me from The Company of Women byNoel Katz. She invites fits of giggles with It's Not Like I Thought It Would Be from All About Love. Adam Bayjou (tenor) performs Bite Your Lip; as with the other singers, he acts each of his pieces with sophistication. He comes across as adept at both serious romantic lead and supporting comical character. Overall, it's an excellent night's entertainment. Also, Bravo gives a glimpse into the future of musical theatre. But much of the work showcased tonight is perhaps less adventurous and possibly not as progressive as it could be. Many of the showcased composers are clearly heavily influenced by legends, leading to a lack of originality or flair. But from time to time, a gem such as Still Human Where It Counts appears - a truly innovative and exciting number from Rock Heaven by Scarlett Deva Antaloczy & Nigel Osner. Composer Noel Katz scores again in the second act with My Chiropractors Hands. A blend of striking close-harmonies and compelling lyrics make him one of the most exciting composers of the night. Reviewed at Freedom Bar, London Bravo, presented by new musicals initiative A Stage Kindly, is a cabaret-style evening showcasing new musicals from writers around the world. Held in the basement of Freedom Bar Soho, this intimate space is well suited to an evening of musical treats. The four main singers - Charlotte Donald, Arabella Rodrigo, Adam Bayjou, and Frank Loman - generally do justice to a range of songs which covered everything from cyborgs, to prostitutes and even chiropractors. Singing without context and without the help of props, costumes or context, all the performers do well to fill their songs with character and emotion. I particularly enjoyed the naughtiness of Charlotte Donald singing "It's Not Like I Thought It Would Be" and the real emotion in "I'm Not in Love With Her" sung by Frank Loman. The group songs are also well-balanced, the pick being "Still Human Where It Counts", from musical-in-development Rock Heaven. Arabella Rodrigo's vocal range is impressive, especially in the show's opening number - aptly named "I Can Sing" - while Adam Bayjou plays timid and strong with equal skill. Only a few tweaks would improve the evening greatly. While the show is well-paced and covers a huge number of songs it would benefit from a little more information on each new musical, even if only provided in the programme. Also, while it's a nice gesture to have all the singers on stage, at times this breeds palpable disengagement among the inactive performers. All in all however Bravo constitutes an enjoyable evening and Katy Lipson and Giles Howe, the founders of this initiative, should be congratulated for providing new international writers an opportunity to have their music heard. - Laura Norman "Edinburgh may be over but new writing is rife here in London" By Benjamin Potter for The Drama Student College has started and you have blown all your cash on Freshers Week, but if you have a tenner to spare, then you might want to find out more about A Stage Kindly, one of London's New Musical Theatre Initiatives. A Stage Kindly is an organization founded to encourage and develop the present and future of new musicals by holding musical showcases open to the public in and around London. On October 25th, A Stage Kindly's latest cabaret 'Bravo', treated me to a night of non-stop numbers from international new musicals at Pizza In The Park, Knightsbridge. Company founders, Katy Lipson and Giles Howe served us a feast of musical entertainment from Australia, America, the UK, France and Italy, performed that night by some of London's finest. Each story-line never failing to astonish me after the 28 numbers! 'Bravo' the name of the cabaret presented a wide array of musical theatre repertoire, each story-line never failing to astonish me after the 28 numbers! From the story of Vincent Van Gogh to a musical about a Rock Star restaurant described by the writers as 'more bizarre than the Rocky Horror Show', 'Bravo' excelled in what it aimed to do - open my eyes to new writing.

A stunning cast, led by musical director Katy Lipsonand singer Giles Howe, showcases songs from nearly 20 new works from Australia, America, UK, France,Italy. The versatile voice of Arabella Rodrigocuts seamlessly between sultry whispered phrases to full throttle belting - setting the bar high for the other singers. She opens the second act with the excellently written It's All in the Ball, and wows again with heartbreaking duet 'Don't Cry Butterfly'. Frank Loman sings 'Chasing Rainbows'. It's the first of many songs from new work Whitechapel, set in the East End of Victorian London, about a passionate, seemingly doomed love affair. Chasing Rainbows gives a fragment of the story; the singer's expertise makes it tantalising. Charlotte Donald is equally enchanting, providing the highlight of the first act with comic song Marry Me from The Company of Women byNoel Katz. She invites fits of giggles with It's Not Like I Thought It Would Be from All About Love. Adam Bayjou (tenor) performs Bite Your Lip; as with the other singers, he acts each of his pieces with sophistication. He comes across as adept at both serious romantic lead and supporting comical character. Overall, it's an excellent night's entertainment. Also, Bravo gives a glimpse into the future of musical theatre. But much of the work showcased tonight is perhaps less adventurous and possibly not as progressive as it could be. Many of the showcased composers are clearly heavily influenced by legends, leading to a lack of originality or flair. But from time to time, a gem such as Still Human Where It Counts appears - a truly innovative and exciting number from Rock Heaven by Scarlett Deva Antaloczy & Nigel Osner. Composer Noel Katz scores again in the second act with My Chiropractors Hands. A blend of striking close-harmonies and compelling lyrics make him one of the most exciting composers of the night. Reviewed at Freedom Bar, London Bravo, presented by new musicals initiative A Stage Kindly, is a cabaret-style evening showcasing new musicals from writers around the world. Held in the basement of Freedom Bar Soho, this intimate space is well suited to an evening of musical treats. The four main singers - Charlotte Donald, Arabella Rodrigo, Adam Bayjou, and Frank Loman - generally do justice to a range of songs which covered everything from cyborgs, to prostitutes and even chiropractors. Singing without context and without the help of props, costumes or context, all the performers do well to fill their songs with character and emotion. I particularly enjoyed the naughtiness of Charlotte Donald singing "It's Not Like I Thought It Would Be" and the real emotion in "I'm Not in Love With Her" sung by Frank Loman. The group songs are also well-balanced, the pick being "Still Human Where It Counts", from musical-in-development Rock Heaven. Arabella Rodrigo's vocal range is impressive, especially in the show's opening number - aptly named "I Can Sing" - while Adam Bayjou plays timid and strong with equal skill. Only a few tweaks would improve the evening greatly. While the show is well-paced and covers a huge number of songs it would benefit from a little more information on each new musical, even if only provided in the programme. Also, while it's a nice gesture to have all the singers on stage, at times this breeds palpable disengagement among the inactive performers. All in all however Bravo constitutes an enjoyable evening and Katy Lipson and Giles Howe, the founders of this initiative, should be congratulated for providing new international writers an opportunity to have their music heard. - Laura Norman "Edinburgh may be over but new writing is rife here in London" By Benjamin Potter for The Drama Student College has started and you have blown all your cash on Freshers Week, but if you have a tenner to spare, then you might want to find out more about A Stage Kindly, one of London's New Musical Theatre Initiatives.

On October 25th, A Stage Kindly's latest cabaret 'Bravo', treated me to a night of non-stop numbers from international new musicals at Pizza In The Park, Knightsbridge. Company founders, Katy Lipson and Giles Howe served us a feast of musical entertainment from Australia, America, the UK, France and Italy, performed that night by some of London's finest. Each story-line never failing to astonish me after the 28 numbers! 'Bravo' the name of the cabaret presented a wide array of musical theatre repertoire, each story-line never failing to astonish me after the 28 numbers! From the story of Vincent Van Gogh to a musical about a Rock Star restaurant described by the writers as 'more bizarre than the Rocky Horror Show', 'Bravo' excelled in what it aimed to do - open my eyes to new writing.
