A little off topic, but something that I did last year, and completley captures my attention so I feel I need to share this.
Apart from wanting to be more actively
involved in community and applied theatre work, my other main passion
within theatre is Musicals. I cannot tell you how much I love going to
see a good musical. I have to confess I would love to go into London
more than I do to see shows, but money and being so far away at the
moment means that I can't see as many shows in the West End as I would
like to. I do however try to see touring productions, and productions
close by. Though I admit I could make more effort to see a wider range
of productions locally.
This leads me onto something I have seen on Facebook regarding my favourite musical, Les Miserables.
This long running musical was first introduced to me when at a very
young age, my mother who is equally as in love with the musical as I am,
used to play me the soundtrack whilst I was in the bath. I first went
to see this with the drama group I was a member of for ten years, and
have seen it now seven times, plus being lucky enough to get tickets to
the 25th anniversary performance at the O2 Arena in October 2010. And I
have to say, it is a night I simply will never forget, something that I
am so glad I got to see in my lifetime, I am now hoping to see Les Miserables at least once a year if I can.
Currently
Les Miserables is shortlisted for the 2012 Olivier Audience Award, and
needs as many votes as possible to win this award and be truly known as
peoples favourite longest running musical. I for one have already casted
my vote and urge you all to do so. This is such a brilliant musical,
and really has appealed to so many people of different generations and from different countries.
