Birmingham's Barbenheimer: Black Sabbath - The Ballet Vs. Sinatra The Musical
Barbie and Oppenheimer both released on the same day to much fanfare and competition. In Birmingham we also have two world premieres arriving together this autumn - I'm in the city today to find out which live theatre show Brummies would see first, Black Sabbath - The Ballet or Sinatra the Musical.

00:00 I would go with Black Sabbath, definitely.
00:03 And also, there seems... I'd be very interested to see how they turn Black Sabbath into a ballet.
00:09 I feel like that's two very different things.
00:12 But yeah, I think I would definitely go see that. I'd bring my dad.
00:15 Yeah, I'm sure your dad would love that.
00:17 It's like the biggest Black Sabbath that...
00:19 I'd probably go for Frank Sinatra, that's because I prefer his music.
00:22 But then I'd also love to see Black Sabbath, just because I think it'd be hilarious to see how they've actually managed to over-buffer it.
00:26 Yeah.
00:27 I think I'd like to go and see the Black Sabbath one first, because it's sort of like local to here,
00:33 with Birmingham culture and all that sort of stuff. So that's the one that appeals to me first.
00:38 To be honest, I've not heard anything about it, but having heavy metal with ballet, that sounds really innovative.
00:46 And although heavy metal is not my genre, I'd be happy to find out a little bit more about it.
00:58 But if I had a choice directly, it would be Frank Sinatra.
01:02 This is my age.
01:03 Hey, JNL.
01:04 Probably Black Sabbath. I've been in a rock band myself, so that immediately kind of pulls on the power strings.
01:11 So yeah, I think that would probably be my one choice. But Frank Sinatra, I've got a lot of appreciation for his voice.
01:19 It's probably something I'd be interested in as well.
01:22 Yeah, Black Sabbath with the guitars. Yeah.
01:25 It'd be interesting to see a ballet take on it, I suppose. But yeah, definitely.
01:29 I've watched the second one more, because I like musicals.
01:34 Same. I like musicals.
01:37 Black Sabbath, the ballet. Because it'll probably have Black Sabbath music in it, like ballet.
01:43 Whereas, what was the other one?
01:45 Sinatra, the musical.
01:47 Sinatra, the musical has been done as it really. So Black Sabbath would be something different, I guess.
