2nd January

Holleeeeeeeyyyyy shiiiiiz.

Fifteen hours until we see We Will Rock You on stage. =D I'm super excited, because I don't really know what to expect. I've seen a good portion of the first half of the musical on Youtube, sure, but that was over the internet which is obviously slightly different, and it also had the original cast (Kerry Ellis included). I've also got a copy of the soundtrack, also with the original cast, and I love what they've done with all the songs - but still. I hardly know anything about the musical. Unlike Wicked (which we all know I know far too much about...) I don't know anything about any of the actors starring in the show right now, nor do I know if anything has changed since the original production. I'm also super excited, because while I have been to see Wicked three times, this is in effect only my second ever West End musical. =O

And we all know how much Kitty likes musicals, eh? Dad says we have good seats, since they were the most expensive ones, and I hope he's right. It would be awesome if we were somewhere in the middle, near the front in the stalls (I know we're in the stalls, but I don't know where abouts yet since we're picking the tickets up on arrival tomorrow), but if it's anything like Wicked even sitting behind a pillar will be awesome.

I really am excited.

Oh! And, because the theatre isn't in Victoria, we also get to go someplace else to see it. I mean, it's not far away, but to go inside another theatre will be pretty damn sweet. Especially since I've only ever seen one West End theatre. And, if I'm right, I think the theatre has got a big statue of Freddie Mercury on the roof thing, which is pretty epic.

A summary of the show from the theatre website:
We Will Rock You is set in the future, on a place once called Earth. Globalisation is complete. Everyone watches the same movies, wears the same clothes, and thinks the same thoughts. A safe, happy Ga Ga world. The Company Computers generate the music and the kids download it. All musical instruments are banned. But resistance is growing. A hero is needed. Is the one who calls himself Galileo that man, and can he help them Break Free...?



See? Looks pretty awesome, huh?

Of course, I love the Wicked theatre (what fan wouldn't? - look, it's all shiny and green, and Elphaba-ised, ish, whatever. Anyway, both theatres are cool.)



but I think this actually sets the scene for the show quite nicely - from what I've heard/seen.

... Whutageek. Talking about THEATRES now? Holy carp, I really am insane. >_o

I think it's time I called it a night. No doubt there will be a fairly extensive update about tomorrow some time soon - there will probably be less to report than last time, since we're going with Dad and Cath, seeing the show and coming home. There'll be none of this hanging out in London business. T_T

Ahem.
Bed time.
Gooooood night.
