Hologram?

[edit]

Do we really need to refer to the floating head as a hologram? It was billed as a hologram by the show's producers, but I saw the show and it clearly wasn't a hologram. First of all, holograms don't get that big, and second, they can't be projected. The producers made a film of Olivier's face, which he was careful to keep still, and they projected it onto a large blank 3-d face sculpture. This creates the illusion that an actual (huge) face is hovering over the stage, but it's not a hologram, it's conventional film on an unconventional screen. (Visitors to Disneyland can see the same effect, on a much smaller scale, in the Haunted Mansion, where a moving face is projected onto a bust that sits inside a crystal ball.) --MiguelMunoz (talk) 03:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These are the featured artists, according to the double vinyl album in my possession:

Side One

Side Two

  • Laurence Olivier
  • Dionne Warwick
  • Leo Sayer
  • Jimmy Helms
  • John Christie
  • Ashford & Simpson
  • Julian Lennon
  • Freddie Mercury
  • Side Three

  • Laurence Olivier
  • Dionne Warwick
  • Julian Lennon
  • Jimmy Helms
  • Cliff Richard
  • Side Four

  • Murray Head
  • Laurence Olivier
  • John Christie
  • Freddie Mercury
  • Cliff Richard
  • Personal Reflections
    On Side Two, there are some strange things to be heard:
    1. On song no. 11: "Your brother in soul", the vocals sound reminiscent of Tom Jones's voice but it's said to be the voice of Jimmy Helms. Only they themselves know the truth.
    2. On song no. 12: "Case for the Prosecution", the case is similar, only that I would guess on say Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, rather than John Christie.
    3. On song no. 14: "Time Will Teach Us All", the main vocals are sung by Julian Lennon, as implied by the text on the record itself...BUT...I can SWEAR that I hear Stevie Wonder singing on that particular song! He sings a lot too and also plays the harmonica.
    Anyone else agrees on that?
    If mr Wonder (wonder no more!) was indeed participating on this album, then how come it's not mentioned anywhere? That is a wonder and mystery to me.

    There's a mention of this musical in a 90s edition of Cliff Richard the biography by Steve Turner

    [edit]

    Book claimed they had to reword part of the script because Cliff refused to say a line that he felt went against his belief in Jesus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.14.187 (talk) 04:33, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
