203. Musical Theatre

My friend JT took me to see the musical Crazy For You at the Novello Theatre last night. We had the best seats in the house, which always helps, but you'd have to be in a sorry state not to enjoy the show, which is both insane (because the story makes no sense, really) and wonderful (Gershwin tunes, excellent singing and dancing, excellent sets, lots of laughs). We had a ball. And suddenly a sad and difficult week felt a little lighter on my shoulders...

I had to see Mary Poppins twice (and would have seen it many many more times had it not been prohibitively expensive). I will have to see Priscilla again before it comes off in January. I have a famous, and – for some – worrying, fondness for Rocky Horror. La Cage aux Folles made me happy even though I'd been made redundant earlier that day.

I could go on.

I am clearly a gay man trapped in a rather gorgeously curvaceous girl's body.

Lucky me.

    PS i am pleased 'crazy for you' was gershwin and not some weird early madonna nonsense along the lines of we will rock you storyline ridicuousness.
