London Theatre is Cheap! So, See Shows!

SHOWS I'VE SEEN SO FAR ON THE WEST END:

The Lord of the Rings.
Coming into this show, I knew there would be no middle ground: it was either going to be AWESOME! or painful like a nail covered bat to the face horror.
Luckily, it was AWESOOOOOOME!!!!!!
The orcs hopped on pogo shoes! Galadriel (played by Abbie Osmon) and her Elves hung suspended from the ceiling, spinning and flipping. AND they sung. The giant Balrog puppet spewed confetti all over the audience. The hobbits stepped on audience members' heads, trying to catch fireflies.
And Gollum (played by Michael Therriault) climbed down from the ceiling face-first!!
AMAZING!
See this show, if you can. But it is closing soon, so hurry!

Stomp
This was part of the my study-abroad program. No dialogue, no singing. Just people creating music with brooms, their bodies, straws, pipes, plastic bags, etc. It got a little old towards the end. Plus, no intermission makes it hard, too.

Avenue Q
First time seeing the show. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and I thought it was funny, but not THAT funny. Though, the puppet sex was much more offensive than Team America's was. Quite delightful, all around. Just not as funny as people are making it out to be.

So, if you're ever in London, go see some plays. It's totally worth it.
