no rest for the Wicked.


today has probably been the most awesome day of my life, and amazingly, it started off with me in a very bad mood. a 4am wakeup call from my glorious phone alarm which i surprisingly did not throw through the window, a bewildered 5am stumble through town to the train station...and the next 3.45 hours trying to find the damn studios i was meant to work at that day. Eastenders, you would think such a huge show would have easy to find studios, but nooooo it has to be hidden away down a reclusive road. i finally found it, 45 minutes after i was supposed to actually begin.


though after that ragged and annoying start, my day got better and better, i got to meet a load of fun new people on set, i got to talk to the actors who play: Minty, Amanda, Phil, Roxy, Ronnie and a good few others. it was a long long day, with alot of miming, bad dancing and digestation of a few pints of alcohol free flat pigswill (yummy) before i finally finished and began merrily making my way back to London Victoria, where, due to my lovely auntie Gemma, i saw (and gained a program for) WICKED, at the Apollo Theatre itself, my very first ever trip to a West End production and it couldnt have been better, or in a greater theatre. the sound, the costumes, the effects, the singing, the actors, all brilliant. all awesome and all making me want to go see it again at some point when i have money and time :D it was wonderful. then i read my program all the way home on the train as finally, sleep deprivation began to kick me in the frontal lobe and build up all the way to me writing this blog. im going to pass out now, but this has been, by far, the greatest day of my life. fun to the last second.
