Last Saturday I went to London for the second time in less than one week. Thankfully it was pleasure and not business; tomorrow is Zoe's parents silver wedding anniversary so they planned the weekend away; clearly a ploy to nullifying in-law jokes.
On Saturday night we went to see the Producers in Covent Gardens and it was stunning. "Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party!" might be a little close to the bone, but in the midst of a camp portrayal of Hitler it was hilarious.
Jason Clark was sharing his love of London last week and increasingly i can see where he is coming from. It's so big and there is so much going on; so many people, so many places, such variety. In contrast Newcastle is somewhat homogeneous; dare I say it boring...
Saying that I don't like the idea of experiencing the current heatwave on the Piccadilly line everyday... much prefer the Tynemouth coast!
Oooh, now you're talking! I went to see that in November 2004 when Lee Evans starred as Leo Bloom, and Nathan Lane was Max Bialystock.
Ahh, springtime for Hitler.

Glad you had a good time in the big smoke. I know what you mean about there being so much to do - it was fun as a student. It's been hard to adjust to living in the very un-cosmopolitan Newcastle village (even if they do try and make it sound better by calling it NewcastleGateshead).
