sports and religion

If watching Chariots of Fire, and thinking of getting the £26 seats, I would recommend sitting in the back row of the stalls rather than the front row. Firstly, because the theatre isn’t very big, and second because you miss quite abit of what’s going on because of the height of the stage. Still, it […]

Posh, the play

Gutted for Mark Cavendish and Team GB. But then everyone knew what the game plan was, and 4 cyclists, no matter how strong, can’t pull the peleton on for four hours on. Not disappointed in them, but disappointed for them. But then, road cycling is all about tactics isn’t it? And this team has helped […]

Vaudeville theatre

No wonder the theatre looked so familiar. What the Butler saw is playing in the same theatre as the Flying Karamazov Brothers. The Vaudeville Theatre. Its a tiny little theatre, and it wasn’t even that full when we went. The stalls were about 70-80% full perhaps. The show was alright. It was actually quite funny, […]

The importance of being Earnest

The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing one’s clean linen in public. One of the many hilarious quotes from the play. It was at Theatre Royal Haymarket. It wasn’t full, but it was still pretty packed I had hoped […]

The Moving Castle

Two women in the lift. One reading off directions from a notebook dug out from her bag. “South on Goodge and ….. on …… ” The other woman says “Great, now which way is South?” The first women laughs and says “I haven’t got a clue. I saw it on Google Maps and just wrote […]

We had tried to get day tickets for War Horse for a few times now, but with no luck. So we decided to book the tickets in advance. The £25 stalls tickets weren’t available until about 2 months after the booking date, so it was almost 2 months after booking War Horse that we finally […]

Railway Children

The Railway Children is currently showing at the theatre at Waterloo. The theatre is slightly unique, being at the former Eurostar station. The audience is seated on either sides of the ‘platforms’ and the train tracks form the centre of the stage. Additional wheelable wooden ‘stages’ connect the two platforms together and these are wheeled […]

Wizard of Oz

Wizard of Oz, an Andrew Lloyd Webber production at the Palladium theatre is like my childhood come alive. We got the day tickets for 25 quid and ended up in the very front row. This mean that we couldn’t really see the floor of the stage due to the high stage, but it meant that […]

Romeo and Juliet at the O2

Caught the evening show at the O2, Romeo and Juliet. I really enjoyed the show. Maybe it was because it is my first ballet, but the swirls of the girls’ dresses, their graceful postures and curved backs were truly mesmerizing. I was spellbound and enraptured by the sweeps of their feet and their perfect twirls. […]

Shrek

Watched Shrek two nights ago. Nigel Lindsay as Shrek had a really lovely accent and the character really resembled the Shrek in the movie. Richard Blackwood as Donkey was rather entertaining, especially when he was with Dragon, but I thought the friendship between Donkey and Shrek was a little awkward. Nigel Harman as Lord Farquaad […]
