I was meeting up with Laura as she wanted to see the Woman in White a Andrew LLoyd Webber musical adapted from the novel Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.
And so off I was.Reached on time..which I am generally good at.Met up with Laura, picked up our tickets and our lunch coupons and headed for the Palace theatre.
True to its name, the theatre was grand.One of the best I have visited so far in London.We managed to get some fantastic stall seats…Just like cinema, stalls in the theatre have the closest view to the stage but that is a good thing.We were both thrilled.And then beagn the musical or should I say life like drama…
The sets,the props,the costumes,the actors,and actresses..so powerful so full of life..the story so gripping..the era so different (victorian)
If anything the voices off all the artists on stage mesmerised me.As the story unfolded and came to the climax I was so over come with emotion that I was crying.
I dont know much about theatre and literature.But I do know that I love the experience.I enjoy how for those few moments we are taken away into another land another life and are made to feel all the emotions that sometimes didnt know we were capable of feeling.
I enjoy theatre immensely.Been lucky to be in a city that is actually called the theatreland.
