One of the beauties of spending a few days in London is the opportunity to go to all sorts off different things, which was why Thursday afternoon saw me at the musical Show Boat, at the New London Theatre.
It was glorious. It was everything a musical should be - splendid set, great costumes, all the singing and dancing. There is a plot and the ending is just right for a feel good afternoon. It's a great shame they shortened the run because ticket sales weren't as good as predicted. And I've spent the last few days singing "Fish gotta swim, Birds gotta fly (Can't help lovin' dat man)".
My seat was front row, in the middle - cheaper than the row behind. Which meant when Captain Andy Hawkes was handing out playbills for the next performance on The Cotton Blossom I got given one. Yay!
I have nothing deep to say about it, but it made me very happy.
