Dear all, the photos of the performance are here for your viewing pleasure : http://picasaweb.google.com/SYAMAphotos ... TheMusical

BTW, to correct a few mistakes in the earlier posts, only songs from the 'prahalada bhakthi vijayam' were performed. Nauka Charitram and Sitarama Vijayam songs were not performed. Incidentally, I understand that Sitarama Vijayam songs do not exist now!

I attended the show as well and enjoyed it. Varali and Bhairavi, as mentioned by GBL, were really outstanding and moving. I also enjoyed the pieces in Devagandhari and Reethigowla. Padhyams were nicely sung all around and violinists were great. And jananee, great job with the lighting!
