Review – RENT

This afternoon I got given the chance to check out the second to last viewing of the 20th anniversary of RENT done by bird house productions. 

If you havnt seen RENT where the hell have you been. I hate, hate the theatre and musicals but I still know the back story of it. Go Google what it is if you don’t actually know what it is. Bottom line people living with AIDS loosing their home that’s also a performance venue. 

So how did I find it. Well apart from trying to not murder the theatre kids next to us, I enjoyed it so much. Please don’t bring your children to piece people pay for when all they are going to do is misbehave. I know that’s going to give me a load of hate but when theatre tickets are not cheep it does ruin it for people. 

Criticism. I really didn’t get on with the performer that played Angel. I don’t know if they were having an off day or what but I didn’t feel that much energy coming from them. Something that Angel has loads of. Also at the start I felt that Mimi was a little flat but then got better towards the end. 

All the other cast and crew were just amazing. And managed to pull it off just beautifully. I am so glad that I managed to get out the house and see it whilst I could do. Thank you Charlie for getting us to come with you

Final note. Gavin we were so fucking proud of you and you did amazing as Rodger.It was difficult to not actually cry. ❤ 

3 Years And A Trip To The Big City

Last week it was Kai and I’s 3 year anniversary. We decided that we would go to London, because we discovered pretty quickly the night previously that nothing is ever on in Brighton on a Monday. We got the train, which was just so packed it was stupid, and headed to London dungeon.

It was really fucking cool. What I could take part in anyway. Because of photo sensitivity and body moving, I was unable to go on some of the rides. The plus side of this was that we were able to hang out back stage and see people getting ready, which was amazing.
The bits I was able to were so cool, everything was really interactive. The staff who worked on all the acts were great, and it was really worth the money (we did two for one on the train deal).
At the end they give you a coin that you can keep or trade in at the bar for a drink in their pub.
I got the drink.
Also we each got another free drink and a tankard because it was our anniversary.

We then decided to get tickets to see a west end show. As you know I fucking hate the theatre but I agreed since Kai let me choose London Dungeon. We found a place that did discounted tickets for the day, and we managed to get two tickets for Miss Siagon for £50. And they were good seats.
After we purchased the tickets we decided to go to wagamama, which is one of my favourite food places ever. And as per usual the food was amazing

We then did a little shopping, grabbed a coffee and waited for the theatre. Now I really want to say it was crap, that I didn’t enjoy it and go on about how we wasted money seeing an entire shit show, BUT I CAN’T LIE!! It was fucking awesome to be totally honest. I really enjoyed the show. I was a little confused at first but eventually I got the story and it was great. If you get a chance, please go and see it.
We eventually got home after midnight, totally exhausted but it was a fantastic day.
