I saw my first musical last night, Avenue Q! It's basically a story about finding your "purpose" in life post-grad. It's kind of hard to explain, but the musical was kind of like an adult version of Sesame Street. Funny for college-age and young adults, but definitely R-rated and NOT something I would take my kids to see (if I had any).Anyways, the only reason why I knew about this musical was because Walter and Esther (my Edge parents) told me it was good... so when I saw it in the list of school-planned field trips, I decided to sign up.
Our coach left school at 3 and we arrived in London at 5, with two and a half hours to kill...
The theater was near Chinatown... I've been there so many times now that it's like my second home or something.
If you want Asian bread in London, go here!
Buying souvenirs...
While walking around, we saw the Avenue Q theater (see the yellow sign in the back?)
The foyer of the theater.
Jennifer is gorgeous!!
We didn't know what to do because we'd already seen all of central London, so we just sat down and ate dinner (bread) for a while.
This is like my 7th time at the National Gallery or something...
People sitting on the steps of the National Gallery.
In line for the show!
The theater was really nice and small.
Carla.. I just met this girl last night... she's hilarious!
Before the show.
The ceiling was so pretty.
You can't see it that well here, but most of the performers have a puppet that looks similar to a Sesame Street character.
Intermission.
So I wasn't supposed to take pictures during the show... oh well..
The last bow... you can see the band in the back (through those windows).
The theater looks pretty at night.
I'm glad that I got to see my first musical in LONDON! =)
