It seems I have had quite an adventure musically, sometimes not always sure of what I was going to and when needed it has been by myself.
When in Peterborough at the beginning of the year, we looked at what was available at one of the theatres for a mid week show. All being gals from the 80ies, when the show descriptions discussed being a musical of 80ies music we imagined ourselves singing along to all the oldies. How wrong were we, as it turned out to have a cult following not resembling the era we had experienced. The show was 'Heathers the Musical', based on the 1988 movie a bit dark & sinister while funny but not what we were expecting as far as singing along to 80ies songs!
An enjoyable show, great singing and dancing whilst amusing as the majority of the audience were dressed in similar outfits as the main actress leads. We did come away baffled at how this show had obviously passed us by in our youth.
Finally Rachel and I got to see ABBA Voyage in Stratford, enjoyed a chauffeur ride as Roger tagged along too. A great party experience with good ole disco like the old days, we really enjoyed a good dance together, always great people watching especially in their ABBA clothes.
Then my last cultured venture was again with my pals from Peterborough, Mary and her friend. We met up and journeyed to Nottingham from Peterborough to be engulfed in the pleasurable tunes of Donny Osmond. He really is a stunning entertainer! A very impressive rap of his significant career, he roamed the audience asking what tune did we want to hear bringing the old tunes to life again. Sentimental twaddle but an emotional experience when sang and performed by a legend.
