was so happy that getintolondontheatre finally opened yesterday. immediately booked "singing in the rain" and "the wizard of oz" for next year!
maybe i love discounts more.
the last musical was "crazy for you", with lw when he visited. it was nice, too american, but also had too much lost on me because i didn't know who gershwin was, or all his great songs. now i know some..
the 2nd last play was "driving miss daisy", supposedly an oscar-acclaimed film with a deeper theme of racism. again, it was too american, and i was just in a mighty foul mood that day. watched it with P, who is in london for a few months and really has endless energy i cannot keep up with.
a couple of nights ago, i watched a free play at the old vic, called "noises off" as i got some last min tickets. it was hilarious and was a play within a play with 3 acts.
so much for levelling up on the culture front! bring on the next 2 musicals next year. would really love to go for a ballet over Christmas since we're stuck in london anyway, but all the tickets to "the nutcracker" are sold out, and those that remain are out of the culture budget!
just thought i should pen this down before i forget that i'd ever done this (same reason i take photos). but actually, if it was so forgettable, then there prob was no point taking note anyway.
And here I am, finally gonna get to watch wicked next month...
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice frivolous cultural passion although with you, it's probably never that frivolous anyway! Did you manage to check out the Matilda musical I gave you the link to?
ReplyDelete@sebas - you should, it's awesome! would def watch it again but for now there are way too many things to watch!
ReplyDelete@sharon - yes i saw that. been wanting to catch it ever since the summer when it was playing at stratford-upon-avon (near where David's uni was). but it was always sold out! and now there are no cheap tickets, so still waiting...! i just got tickets to watch the nutcracker tho (only £15!)- hopefully to cheer myself up for being stuck in london over christmas and new year...
