In this Place Where We Belong // Project 365 // Day 67

There’s a reason everybody’s talking about Jamie, honestly this show was so much fun. I went into this show not having heard the soundtrack of only ever heard an excerpt from the first song which is a rarity for me. I’ve only ever walked into two other shows having not listened to the soundtrack in its entirety.

This was a show that we had heard so many good things about we thought why not give it a try and I’m so thankful we do. This cast is incredible, it’s funny, it’s heartwarming. It shows a true dynamic of being different some people will accept you and others will find you to be too much.

The whole cast appeared to be having as good a time as the audience. And some standout moments include Shane Ritchie’s “The Legend of Loco Chanel”,  Rebecca McKinnins as Jamie’s mum will break your hear with “he’s my boy” and “if I met myself again”.

Layton Williams is made to fill the heels of Jamie New, he certainly has the legs for it. His voice is amazing and his energy is unbelievable.

The whole cast is unbeliable. The energy they put into each number is fantastic. I left with so many songs in my head and downloaded the album straight away.

There’s Something about the Theatre // Project 365 // Day 65

I’m going to write a little more over the next couple of days about the shows that I have seen whilst in. London.

But there’s something to be said for Theatre in general, I love it. Sitting in a chattering crowd and when the lights go down and the band you know the stories about to start and you get lost in there world for an hour or two.

I have cried when the first notes played, I have given standing ovations before intervals, I’ve laughed so hard I’ve snorted, I’ve sat on the literal edge of my seat for the entire show because I was so immersed.

I love it.

There’s magic in the moment you get to experience.

If I were to win the lottery tomorrow all I would do is travel the world  and go to the theatre.

#MusicMonday: Wait For It - Hamilton An American Musical

This Musical has been one of my main obsessions for a WHILE now, it is just brilliant! I've chosen just a single song and not the whole album for the moment for the simple reason that Hamilton will be featuring on the West End as of November 2017, and I have my tickets for March 28th 2018 a year away and a day away from now.

It was Tony's week whilst I was in New York last year, and passing the Hamilton Theatre was like nothing else, it constantly has a queue people had blankets and pillows, clearly in it for the long haul to get tickets. Which were apparently being sold on for as much as $15,000 so there was no way of seeing this musical whilst I was over there.

I wasn't sure if it was going to be one of these shows that cross's the Atlantic, but around October last year I had the opportunity to sign up for priority tickets and in January managed to secure tickets for me and one of my bestie's who also loves Hamilton and we now get to see the show when it comes to London's West End.

I've chosen Wait For It, because it was the first song on the soundtrack I was obsessed with I went back and listened to it constantly. Between the lyrics and the beat there isn't anything wrong with this song. And I'm literally so excited to be able to see it be acted out on stage.

It's message of if something is worth it then you must be willing to wait for it. Even when someone else may succeed before you, and it may seem like you aren't meant for anything just wait for it. Its catchy its haunting. Just listen to it.

My countdown started at 434 days it now sits at 366 days, all I have to do is wait for it!
