Down once more... to London, that is!

I will be in London October 31 to November 2! This trip has been in the works for months, and I'm so excited that in less than five days I will be sitting down to enjoy one of my favourite shows. My jam-packed schedule for this trip is: 

October 31st - Phantom of the Opera (Evening)


You can expect a brief review of either this Phantom show or the one from Thursday; with Sofia's departure, I'm unsure who I'll be seeing, but if it's anyone new, or just a particularly good/interesting show, I will briefly review one or both Phantom shows :) 

November 1st - Wicked (Evening)


I will likely write a brief review of Wicked, as this is the last time I will be seeing Louise and Gina in these roles. It'll be an emotional day for sure! 

November 2nd - Phantom of the Opera (Matinee) and Strangers on a Train (Evening)


See the other Phantom post :) This is going to be a very exciting day for me though, and I'm really looking forward to spending this show with a friend! We've got something incredibly special (once in a lifetime opportunity really) planned, and I couldn't be more excited!


I will be seeing the very first preview of Strangers on a Train! I loved the movie when I watched it in film class a few years ago, and I'm looking forward to seeing something fresh and new. I love seeing first previews as it's an opportunity to see something still in the works, and see the process that shows go through before their opening night. I usually don't see plays, but I've made an exception for this, and I'm very excited! I know previews aren't supposed to be reviewed, but expect a review anyway. 


Well, that's my trip! Very much looking forward to a few exciting days of theatre (as well as some shopping and a trip to the British Museum - and possibly a bit of essay writing here and there). Hope everyone has a great, relaxing, and healthy (I'm sick right now, and a lot of other people seem to be as well!) week!
