Musical Moments – As Good As It Gets
I’ve just got home from the Theatre to see Spamalot and feeling inspired by that (review in progress) . . . I decided that a musical moment for this Monday, which will hopefully make you smile is from one of my all time favourite films ‘As Good As It Gets’ when the legend that is Jack Nicholson gives his version of ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ ❤
2014 at the Theatre
In 2014 I managed to go and see 15 musicals and plays on stage in both the North East (Sunderland Empire or Theatre Newcastle) as well as trips to London to see them in the West End. I also caught Monty Python and a concert of Elaine Paige. It has been an incredible year for going to see plenty of shows and live acting. I honestly didn’t realise I had seen so many until getting ready to do this blog post.
Along with seeing an absolute icon in Elaine Paige in her farewell concert, I also managed a last-minute trip to see the legend of Angela Lansbury on her return to the West End after 30 years in Blithe Spirit. But it doesn’t stop there, I got to meet one of my favourite actors Bill Nighy after the incredible Skylight and an added bonus of Carey Mulligan! What a day that was.
Monty Python Live (mostly) – The O2
After having the tickets for about 8 months on Saturday night we eventually got to The O2 to see Monty Python Live (mostly) – One down five to Go. Even the title of the show has a couple of jokes in it! Over 40 years after they last appeared on a stage in the UK as well, all five of them in their 70s but you really wouldn’t have guessed that with the amount of energy put into the show.
Monty Python 2014
On Saturday 5th July 2014, I will be sat in The O2 Arena in London watching Monty Python!
With only one date officially announced for when the tickets went on sale yesterday it was going to be an impossible task to buy tickets. Especially when it sold out within 45 seconds. Quickly 4 more dates were added to take the total to 5 shows. We are going to the Saturday and final night thanks to the brilliant efforts of one of my friends who was given the task of getting tickets! We even took the risk and booked a hotel on Sunday night for the original date of the Tuesday, luckily just a small fee to change to the Saturday!
So . . . always look on the bright side of life!
