Format:DVD
A truly marvellous stage adaptation of wuthering heights, complete with every emotion in the novel. Turning the novel into a stage musical was always going to be a tremendous task, but efforts by Tim Rice and the fantastic cast did the trick. Three of the main characters in the novel are brought to life by three fantastic performers, Cliff Richard playing Heatchliff, Helen Hobson playing Cathy and Darryl Knock playing Edgar. These three stars come together to create a truly fantastic show that many thought would be too difficult to achieve. Full of some fantastic acting and some of the most exquisite voices, heathcliff is a must for all Cliff, Musical and wuthering heights fans alike, it really is no wonder it is the biggest box office smash of all time, a truly tremendous adaptation to the stage. Highly recommended!!!!

I believe that Cliff Richard will never reach the excellence again that he reached with this wonderful musical. The music and singing are fantastic. I am not a die-hard Cliff fan. Believe me i listen to the Cd too and it reduces me to tears. No doubt many critics of Sir cliff would say "Oh yes well he does that to me too" No no no This is a wonderful production. I KNOW my musicals and i am very fussy. Heathcliff is fantastic.

I have seen this video more times than I have had hot dinners. It is a real "Feel good" movie in the sense that there is so much music and colour and life that you can't help but love it. I watch this while cleaning, doing paperwork or just as a means of chilling in the evening. For anyone who likes good voices and dance will love this portrayal of a classic novel. Amazing vioces and gripping story line, well done to Cliff Richard. Best thing he has ever done.

This is an excellent video from an excellent show, just like the book, not the romanticised version starring Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. Read more
