This past week has seen some expensive homes in Hampstead Heath, the discovery of an amazing frozen yoghurt shop (Yoghurtry) and a fabulous overdose of theatre. We were so close to seeing Whoopi Goldberg perform live in Sister Act at the Palladium but in our haste we missed her dates... Alas. but Sister Act was indeed brilliant and I'm glad we went to see it. Then a dose of Adam Garcia (the Aussie heartthrob from Coyote Ugly all those years ago) went down nicely in his new show Tap Dogs which is utterly mind-blowing and has given me a new appreciation for men who can tap... And then... the dark horse, of which we knew so little about, Avenue Q! Wow! hilarious! It may have topped the lot... It was so enjoyable and challenged a lot of stereotypes about racism, sexuality, puppets getting it on on stage and friendship. It's opening act are along the lines of.. 'I have just graduated from college with a BA... now what?!' Well you can sing and dance and live vicariously through some puppets on the West End. No, it was really good. If anyone has an opportunity to see it, you must.
The news in pictures...
Posh Hampstead Heath
Tap Dogs with Jo and Adam Garcia
Jo is so close to Adam.. look how happy she is?!
Whoopi for Whoopi!
So close to seeing Whoopi live but alas not meant to be.. She is in Sister Act from now until 30 August. I just can't justify spending money on another ticket when I've just seen it.. :(
Avenue Q
The underdog - what an incredible production! We were in stitches!!
Upcoming events
Not sure if I'll be able to see Priscilla but I've heard it's very very good. A girl/guy playing a girl can dream.
