At the top of his show with the Heritage Orchestra, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, Tim Minchin warns us that arena spaces kill comedy, which isn't going to affect us watching in on a TV screen so much, but it does affect the artist. Tim is perhaps even more discombobulated in his talking bits than he normally is, and intimate piano moments become large-scale productions with both an orchestra and a band supporting such well-loved hits as Prejudice, Rock and Roll Nerd and Dark Side. It's interesting to see these pieces (and new ones too, obviously) reorchestrated for the larger group of musicians, but I don't feel it's generally as strong a performance as the one-man shows are. While I liked the show very much, it may come down to when I saw what and when. Had this been my first Tim Minchin show, it would have completely blown my mind, but he reuses so many pieces that it comes across as a greatest hits compilation. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't get the same thrill from it.
