A lot has happened in the past week! As mentioned in my previous post I saw Aladdin and Of Mice and Men recently. Well in the days following that I would go on to see 3 more shows! It was an exhausting week but so, so much fun. A good friend of my dad's was in town for a theatre conference and she ended up having an extra ticket to the shows she was seeing so very kindly asked if I would like to join her. My answer was, of course, an immediate and resounding YES!
The first show we saw was Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. To tell the truth, this is not a show that had been on my radar much. I had heard about it, had heard nothing but good things, but I didn't particularly know anything about Carole King. When I found out I'd be seeing this musical I watched the promo online for it and, it turns out, I knew every single song in the show!
It was actually a fascinating story about this woman who I had no idea had such influence over the music scene of the 60's and 70's. I hope it does well in the Tonys this year!
The second show was If/Then. Yes I already saw it, but that doesn't mean I didn't like it just as much the second time! I've already talked about it in a previous post so let's move on.
The third show I saw was A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. This was one I had been wanting to see for a while. I had heard great things about it. The main plot is about a guy who finds out he's 8 people away from being an Earl. So...he decides to kill all of the people in his way. But it's a comedy! And all of the victims are played by the same actor! Fun times all around :)
