Less Miserable

(Another backdated entry )

Wednesday, 9 Nov 2005

Just caught Les Miserables..it's one of those musicals which i've heard for the longest time but never actually watched it..& i must admit while i vaguely knew the story line revolves around some turbulent times, i didn't realise tat the main character is NOT the little girl (blame it on the misleading poster, see below) but this prisoner guy 24601..

Was quite curious to experience the musical scene in London..i've passed by the concert halls & theatres many times before since they're mainly located on the street next to Chinatown(they call it the West End Theatres)..akin to New York's Broadway..had passed up the opportunity when i was in NY couple of years ago so decided i shan't miss it this time round..

I would think catching a musical is very much part of a Londoner's life..somewhat equivalent to a Singaporean catching a movie..take buying tickets for example..i bought mine the day before(i knew of pple who bought tics for SOM waaaaay before the actual performance)

I actually made some effort in dressing up for the occasion..had put on my pair of decent pants(partly cos i couldn't fit into my jeans) & my power jacket..first time i'm wearing it (ever since it was hand delivered by MsK & Meiren)..getting cold these days..it's officially winter liao btw..

And for the first time in my life..i made use of the cloak room(yes, i know they have a cloak room at the lew lian..but how many times has it been really utilised?)

Was quite pleased with my seat..23.75 pounds(got half price promo) for a seat 5th row from the front..not too bad is it..

So how was the singing? Not too bad..tat's all i can say..cos he-who-can't-sing-to-save-his-life shall not criticise he-who-sings-for-his-living..
