Film and Theatre Lover!
A couple of weeks ago I entered the Hotel-Direct.co.uk Star for a Day competition, which involved picking a character from a current West End show and putting together a days itinerary for the character. Obviously I picked Elphaba from Wicked and yesterday I found out I made the top 8.
So please can you visit to the following link and vote for my entry (Caroline Ames) – hotel direct competition

This blog post is my enter into the Star for a Day competition – read more about it here!
My pick of character will come as no surprise. Elphaba from Wicked!
Itinerary
Day time activity – Go to meet the Wizard so head to Harry Potter Studios
Pre-show activity – Munchkins Restaurant (38 Great Russell St, London WC1B 3PP)
Show – Wicked
Post-show activity – The Green Man Pub (57 Berwick Street, Soho, London, W1F 8SR)
Explanation
Elphaba is a truly inspiring character who never gives up on her dreams. The biggest being to meet the Wizard, so she is bound to find at least one Wizard at the Harry Potter Studios, and I am sure she can learn an extra spell or two as well. Then for some food what better place to head than the Munchkins Restaurant, they are a very big part of Oz after all, in a place that has a big Wizard of Oz theme she would feel right at home. Then to she herself defy gravity and fly at the show of Wicked and then what better way to finish off the day than a drink in The Green Man Pub, after all she wouldn’t be the only green person anymore and might feel a little better about herself!
