First we watched resident evil followed by eastern promises.
Look I Alvin and the chipmunks came to celebrate with me.
Morning of my special day. I went to purchase Day Seats ticket to watch Lord of the Ring Musical at TheatreRoyale. The price was cheap. I paid only 20pounds/ticket for a EVENING showing on a SATURDAY night for FRONT row seats ticket. I was bouncing for joy. I was looking forward to the 50million dollar production.
Afterwards, I met up with friends to have breakfast at Covent Garden. It is so different to see London in the early hours when everyone is still recovering from the night before. The streets were completely empty (relative term). I had a full English breakfast which means fried eggs, bacon (which honestly, i think isn't its more ham), BAKED BEANS...
I got a chocolate cake for my birthday, isn't it sweet :) They pretended to go to the loo and went around the corner to swaroski to get me a Breast Cancer Support Bracelet. SOOO adorable..... SO touched.... We Shared a slice of cake amongst the three of us. I was really content.
Had dinner at this place call Twelve, had no idea where it was. Got off the tube station and walked, was about to walk into a hotel to ask for direction, and instead of asking for direction. We found the restaurant inside the hotel. It was very nice. Ambient was chic. Food was not too bad either. They had a special going on 50% off your a la carte but the catch is u have to order a full bottle of wine. I decided on sauv blanc. And I guess, the restaurant knew it was my birthday and decided by the will of God not to add it on the bill (they
forgot). As u can see, i really enjoyed my free bottle. I'm flushed.It was a good thing we had a bottle of wine. We were RUNNING late and RAN to the theater. When we got to Drury lane (where the muffin man sang~~...) made a bad turn and instead of being RIGHT on time and enjoying a bit of the auditorium turning into middle earth. We were 5 minutes late.
The show was breath taking. The stage production was incredible. The special effects were creative. However, the acting was poor - no real character development. I don't blame them. They had to finish the Lord of the Ring story in 3 hours. It is a pretty tough task to undertake. Oh, yes. my front row seats - up close and personal. VERY personal. At one of the short break, one of the Orcs ran around our seats. He was literally breathing down my neck. He was hissing. He was UGLY. .... but once the mask came off at the end of the show. OH MY GOSH. the Orcs, they were the prettiest bunch!
