I got separated from my group on the tube yesterday. I jumped on and the doors closed right behind me. It was pretty obvious that I had just been abandoned and this guy kept looking at me and chuckling. It wouldn't have been that big of deal but I hadn't been listening to where we were going. So I just rode the tube four stops back to Lancaster Gate and walked back to the hotel. I wasn't mugged or murdered or anything. It was nice.
Yesterday we saw our first musical, Blood Brothers. It was the weirdest mix of genres ever and I couldn't tell if they were making fun of themselves or taking it seriously. It was pretty entertaining, but I am confused as to how it is one of he longest running musicals. There was this really intense melodramatic song about superstitionsn that was hilarious;
SHOES UPON THE TABLE
AN' A SPIDER'S BEEN KILLED.
SOMEONE BROKE THE LOOKIN' GLASS
A FULL MOON SHININ'
AN' THE SALT'S BEEN SPILLED.
YOU'RE WALKIN' ON THE PAVEMENT CRACKS
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA COME TO PASS.
NOW Y' KNOW THE DEVIL'S GOT YOUR NUMBER,
Y' KNOW HE'S GONNA FIND Y',
Y' KNOW HE'S RIGHT BEHIND Y',
HE'S STARIN' THROUGH YOUR WINDOWS
HE'S CREEPING DOWN THE HALL.
And everytime the narrator would sing it was super dramatic and the lighting would go all weird. I am glad I saw it but probably wouldn't see it again, but their voices were amazing.
Today we are off to the national gallery to see the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit that is supposedly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Yay!!
If you like Queen music then you should definitely see We Will Rock You while you are in London. Also, make sure you eat at Churchill Qrms at least once, the Thai food there is AMAZING, I believe the tube stop is Queensway, one more further out than Lancaster Gate :D
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about seeing We Will Rock You,and now I definitely will if I have the funds and the time :)
ReplyDeleteWe Will Rock You was amazing. I own the soundtrack - definitely worth it. I also second the Churchill Arms comment.
