ORDER YOUR INTERVAL DRINKS! - ITS FRIDAY! *Week 3* — Page 3

My day suddenly got a lot worse. There's signal failure at Northwood, so it won't be a simple tube journey into London tonight. Looks like I'm going to have to get an above-ground train; which actually makes it a little easier to be dropped off, but does cost money, which I'd like to conserve as much as possible. At least then I'll still have more on my Oyster card to be used another time, but it's still very annoying!

Although this afternoon, I managed to get the new Young Bond book for 43p (thanks to my loyalty card!), and I did a bit of wedding singing (church choir, nothing like the show :P), so that was nice. The wedding wasn't anything especially revolutionary contentwise, but the bridesmaids were wearing these simply amazing BRIGHT pink dresses! I've never seen any bridesmaids dresses so vibrant before! I was WELL impressed! People usually stick to darks or pastels, which are definitely not my favourite colour groups. XD

Anyway! As for the question, I'm a TERRIBLE crier. I cry at everything! I cry at sad things. I cry at happy things. I cry when an entire company is singing in unison. I cry when an entire company is singing in harmony. I cry at KEY CHANGES for God's sake! I think the two songs at the moment that are 100% guaranteed to make me start leaking from the eyes are 'A Way Back To Then' from '[title of show]' (and it's the key change that does it XP) and 'The Old Red Hills Of Home' from 'Parade' (I think there's a key change here as well, but it's mostly the "entire company" effect).

Who's Gonna Love Me (Spend Spend Spend) everytime (theres a fab key change in it too!! lol(

Oh, now that IS a cause for celebration! Congratulations, and long may your subsequent dissociation last!

I'm home now, just got back from "Well" at Trafalgar 2.

exedore, ive never heard of it..whats it about..how was it etc?

haha! oh well its a night out at least! everyone seems to be theatreing this weekend.. apart from me!

You can NEVER see too many shows! Believe me! In 20yrs time you will regret maybe not seeing the new 'Piaf' BIG MISTAKE!

Anything that doesn't have you working evenings, and pays money. If you can work in a theatre, you can get freebies. :3

I HIGHLY recommend the Factory Hamlet if anyone is interested. It's insane but in SUCH a good way. I think the bestest part was when some idiot let the gravedigger get hold of a tin of beans and a bag of flour. But that probably won't happen EVER again, because of the nature of the beast! I have GOT to go back!

And I totally regret 'Absurd Person Singular'. The ONLY thing I got from that show was a new ability to regret seeing shows. XP I used to regret nothing, then I saw THAT. XP

Do it! It's a living, breathing, BRILLIANT example of why I love theatre so much; that atmosphere of knowing that anything can happen, and no matter how well you and the cast know a piece, it can never possibly be the same two nights running. It's absolutely stupendous!

The casting all went a bit odd; there was a bit of misreportage on the part of the press, and the "exceptionally special guest!" turned out to be a tipsy Josh Hartnett (yawn) playing the Captain (in a bit that I'm pretty sure is usually cut), but really? They're right. They're absolutely right. You don't need a name to make an aces bit of theatre. I'm currently seriously considering going to the one next weekend as well, but they're doing productions most of this week, I think as part of the whole one year anniversary thing. :3

(In fact, they're just about to kick off this afternoon's performance on Regent Street. I wish it weren't my sister's birthday; I'd've hung around for it otherwise. )

Hope you feel better soon! Being ill sucks especially when it means missing shows!
Well, as of last night I'm finally back online after a week and a half of no computer - my laptop monitor broke grrr! Ordered a new laptop since I was already contemplating it before that happened, and it's still not arrived as it got stolen from the courier van and the replacement is taking ages. I've been surviving on Star Trek reruns and my LOTR CD!

Thanks Sam :) Yes, this week does seem to have flown by! I start back at uni in 6 days :O Eek! Better do some quick work on my dissertation this week to pretend I've actually done something with my holiday.
I quite liked Spring Awakening...it might have been that version I read, not sure. I don't tend to like much from that era so it got a thumbs up from me It was just before I heard about the musical....cue much groaning!
