we are dirty in a dancing kind of way

one of the things i always plan for my guests when they come here is to visit the Westend and watch a stage play.

lat year, when my family visited me, watching a stage play was one of the main plans.

we had so many options, but because Mama is not your stageplay kind of gal, we decided to book something that she would surely enjoy, as we thought "Wicked" was something too theatrical, and "Chicago" would be too girly/cabaret for Roi..we didnt worry about Ana as she is a theatre nut,LOL.

Plus it was the only stage play Adrian and i havent seen of all the things we wanted to see.(weve seen Fame, Lion King, Chicago, Wicked, Les Miserables, Billy Elliott, The Woman in Black.. there's one we hope to see: Phantom of the Opera-everytime we book it, we dont get the seat we want. we don't want to be far from the stage because i get disappointed not getting a good view..poor eyesight).

And we made the right choice..

Some photos of the night.

and of course, the mr. and missus




mama exhilirated by her new experience





souvenir book/programme from the show

i think everyone had different stuff ordered but i was too busy eating, i didnt finish taking photos..

on our way home, we had a little joyride around london town to see the magical lights adorning the city at night..

one memorable night for me. i hope it was memorable for them too.

hi Chiara=) i was hooked in theatre since i dont know when..i remember i was president of my hih school theatre club, but we werent able to present any worthwhile stage performance due to it being a less priority in my school (i went to Science high,haha).. but i remembered any stage presentations of my section (since elemntary) id be the "lider-lideran"-- the direktor, kuno,haha, oh i love that=)

les miserables is worth watching=) go and see it gyud=)im itching to see Phantom of the Opera, but id wait til my sister comes back (as Adrian saw it years ago)..the dirty dancing stage play is a new one..it jsut came out last year..i wish theyd bring back Cats, and Starlight Express..

thank you chiar=) im proud of my mama..she's the most simple and the no-fussed female youll ever know in your life, but she gets hassled by her daughters,haha...and thank you for saying that..ma happy ko for mama and my sis-Ana=)
