Rating: - DVD quality disappointing
The content of this DVD is fantastic. Full marks to Katherine and Darcey for entertainment. The disappointment is the fuzzy recording. While watching Katherine and Darcey sing in the first couple of numbers there are fuzzy spots in front of their faces somewhat like the privacy patches one sees in news dramas.

Rating: - stunning!
Absolutely stunning. The sets, dancers and band are brilliant.

The whole show is wonderful and probably better on DVD than sitting at the back of the O2 arena.

And it's in ... Read More

Rating: - good show, wrong concept
Apart from the stars which Darcey Bussell and Katherine Jenkins claim inspired them should be added the name of Mickey Rooney who would usually exclaim in his early films "Let's put on a show". About as much thought went into the thinking behind Viva La Diva because the concept meant that these two likeable, popular and talented ladies, who were breaking new ground, were saddled with emulating top performances by stars outside their comfort zone. Darcey Bussell came out best because her dancing could match ... Read More
