Good afternoon to everyone. I thought i would take the chance to give a little rundown on the last week or so. With Easter creating the opportunity to get stuck into a couple of very nice projects the feeling of the season starting was definitely upon us. Two small stage productions and the new show down at Tulleys Farm was certainly a nice way to start the spring time. With equipment being dusted off and tested, some repairs that have been put off were finally completed. Delivered, installed and operated and all with out to many dramas.So with everything running and my wife's birthday treat looming i was having a day off....!! A rare thing but to be honest thoroughly enjoyable. I had arranged transport and tickets to Phantom of the Opera for her.
A day away from chaos....hardly, but to be fair London was not too busy and we enjoyed some culture in the National Gallery, an excellent meal followed by some craziness in M&M's world...!!
Apparently the largest candy store in the world..!! and then on to the theatre for the evening performance.
It has been some five years since i was in Her Majesty's Theatre, and it was a pleasure to be back. With a cast that i had not seen before there is always the fear of comparison, this however was not to be the case. Although this classic has stood the test of time for so many reasons it was an absolute pleasure to watch the audience being drawn in to the story and being amazed by the use of both modern and some of the oldest theatrical tricks. An excellent performance to be fair, i would recommend this timeless show even with some of the competition that is currently in the west end, it provides a superb evenings entertainment, it is captivating, clever, humorous at times but i think most of all performed with such love and passion for the art.
The rest of the week still had a lot in store for FunFear and was going to prove to be a lot more chaotic than i had first thought.
