I got my hands on this picture of the Queen at the Garden Party I went to. Don't you just love her colourful outfit?

I'm now living and working in London (England, not Ontario) and I still can't believe I'm part of this amazing city and culture! And I intend to make the most of it!

Shows I've Seen
- 2009-03-20 Classical Spectacular, Royal Albert Hall - Over the top show that is a lot of fun with a bit of ballet, opera and cannons thrown in!
- 2009-01-07 Lost and Found Orchestra - Instruments made out of garbage, like Stomp but not just percussion. Packed with inventive instruments.
- 2008-12? Imagine This - Entertaining, but I wouldn't pay more than a tenner for it.
- 2008-12-06 Edward Scissorhands - By Matthew Bourne. Not as good as when I saw his previous dance production, The Nutcracker.
- 2008-06-17 ***Brief Encounter*** - Soooo good! It was different in an inventive, ingenious, fun way, not in an abstract uncomfortable way. It had silly bits, romantic bits, and artsy bits. Multi-talented cast. The cast even serves you free bun cakes!
- 2008-05-07 Mamma Mia! - I had doubts about whether I'd like this, but I really did. It was fun, funny and entertaining!
- 2008-04-23 ***Speed-the-plow*** starring Jeff Goldblum and Kevin Spacey - Hilarious! They fed off each other's energy in a non-stop witty banter, much of it improvised. Amazing to watch! Goldblum was really impressive. He clearly loved being on stage.
- 2008-01-16 Nutcracker! - My first ballet. This was a modernised stylised version which was very creative and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and even from the cheap seats, it was captivating.
- 2008-01-08 Spamalot - This was just okay. It was of course based faithfully on the Monty Python movie Search for the Holy Grail, with a bunch of musical numbers thrown in. Quite cheesy, but the audience seemed to love it.
- 2008-01-02 Shadowlands - Quite a good play. Well-acted, especially by the male lead and witty dialogue. The second act was a bit sappy though.
- 2007-10-27 Macbeth starring Patrick Stewart! - Excellent! Seamless. Interesting effects. Sat in the 2nd row!
- 2007-10-13 Glengarry Glen Ross starring Jonathan Pryce - Excellent acting and good dialogue.
- 2007-10-10 The Lord of the Rings (musical) - Wonderful sets, but overall, not so great. Only one good song.
- 2007-10-08 ***Avenue Q*** (musical) - HILARIOUS! Highly recommended for anyone even if you don't like plays or musicals. Anyone would find this really funny! My favourite so far in London.
- 2007-09-21 The Merchant of Venice in Shakespeare's Globe - Really well done.
- 2007-09-03 We Will Rock You - So-so. Cheesy. Only for die-hard Queen fans.
