How Hugh unfolded after the end of House, or musings on my second Hugh Laurie concert

How Hugh unfolded after the end of House, or musings on my second Hugh Laurie concert.

First of all, I disagree: it's not a concert. It's a show, with music, probably his personal vision of a concert, but still, a show. With acting, scripted from beginning to end, with decors, too. A glimpse in the brilliant maze that this man's brain must be.

Very interesting, vicpei, I enjoyed reading your thoughts.

I've been getting this impression from the photographs and videos, too - it's nice to have that confirmed.

I'm not sure how I feel about that, actually. I think that my psyche will be expecting a *concert*, and will be rather baffled at exactly how tightly scripted it appears to be. I mean, Hugh is a showman, and I'm not opposed to a show - but yet, you're right, a show and a concert are two different animals. I almost feel like Hugh's particular brand of showmanship (ABOFAL) is might be a bit too over-the-top for this music - the rubber-face type stuff just doesn't seem to be a match, you know? I haven't yet been in the room though, so I may feel differently once I've had the whole experience.

He lost last year's shyness, is way more comfortable on stageI'm sorry I missed that. :-( I think

Can't wait to see him in September! :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings about the concert(/show). Actually it´s like you read my mind, cause I´d been wanting to ask you if you could do something like this, lol.

I´m very glad you enjoyed the experience. I would have liked to attend when he was in Argentina, I would have done so if it hadn´t been for the ticket prices and the fact that I absolutely hate the venue where he played.

Must have been wonderful to hear him play the piano live. I´ve just listened him sing a few songs and even though I liked most of them, I wasn´t crazy about his delivery, but his piano performances I absolutely loved, very beautiful and full of sentiment.

Hope you have a great time in the next concert as well.
