hear Caruso and Corengrato again , also (of course)
Flower Of Scotland to the delight of the audience.
He sang The Prayer in a duet with Nancy May who has a beautiful voice.
Russell's unique sense of humour ensured the audience were going home happy.
A wonderful and special night that ended with prolonged rapturous applause ,with everyone in no doubt that they had heard 'TheVoice' at his best.

A super review for Chicago On Stage at the
Grand Theatre Leeds with great comments about the cast especially Russell
' He (Billy Flynn)was,surprisingly, played by singer Russell Watson and the part really suited him as he sashayed around the prison planning the case for prisoner Roxie Hart. He played the part with a sophisticated and easy step and grasped the part with both hands as he coached Roxie as to what she should do to escape the rope.

Super review for Chicago at Cheltenham which says Billy Flynn, is played with commanding physical presence and light-footed grace🕺 by The People’s Tenor Russell Watson whose classically-trained voice is a thrill to listen to👏🎶https://www.exploregloucestershire.co.uk/news.asp?NewsArticleID=2607&Refresh=1%2F3%2F2022+7%3A23%3A36+PM

Two good reviews for Chicago at Eastbourne ,especially the one in the Sussex Express.
https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/eastbourne-chicago-proves-an-exultant-and-dazzling-feast-on-stage-3574958
(quote)...But wait: who on earth is behind the dodgy moustache and slick hair of Billy Flynn?
It is Russell Watson in possibly the most surprising piece of casting of the year – and an absolute eye-opener.
Soft Northern vowels have turned effortlessly into sandpaper North American. No more Mr Nice Guy… Russell plies his crooked-lawyer trade with such brazen amorality that Songs of Praise will never sound quite the same.
A terrific characterisation and, needless to say, a commanding vooice

What a start to Russell's concert tour at Crewe ,he was 'off the scale' ,most of his songs were about love as described in the title of the tour and he started off the night with Love Story,there was a good mix of songs,some new some old and some of the regulars .One of the highlights was a spine tingling Music Of The Night duet with his guest Laura Wright,this earned them one of the many standing ovations.Una Furtiva Lagrima was awsome.As always there was lots of fun and laughter ,Russell's humour is infectious. The night was finished off with Someone To Remember Me,again receiving a standing ovation and much applause. What fabulous night.
There are many great comments on Twitter and Facebook .
