7.30.09 London.

Sleeping in has never been so good like it was today and I could have slept the day away if I wanted. We had an optional day today to either go to Bath or have a free day. The five decided that being as burned out as we are that we would stay home and go to see a show tonight. After breakfast, it was off to the Billy Elliot box office to get our tickets for the show that night. They sell obstructive view seats that are on the front row and fairly cheap. It was off to the grocery store since we have pretty much been out of food for the past few days with no time or desire to make the trek to the store. I loved getting home and stocking the fridge with lots and lots of food to eat.

we sported our matching oxford purchases. we proudly support them.

We took the day to just chill and catch up on sketching and blogging and just needed the time to breathe. The show was at 7:30 so we started getting ready for the night and we all got on our new snazzy outfits and headed to the Tesco before to get us treats for the show. I was really excited to see Billy Elliot because I really didn’t know anything about the show and didn’t know any of the music so it was exciting to be seeing something totally new. This was Lindsey’s first Broadway show so it was a big night for her and we were all excited with her to experience Broadway in London.

self explanatory.


a very nice tourist snapped this for us since we couldn't find something to set the camera on for our classic self-timer photo.

It was a perfect evening and no rain in sight and made the evening even better. We made it to our seats on the first and second rows. Being on the front row only obstructs a little bit of the stage and some of the dancers feet on the back of the stage, but other than that it was so cool to be up close and personal with the actors. I could see all their facial expressions and felt like I was on stage with them. Billy was THE cutest little boy I’ve ever seen! He was super talented and did such an incredible job especially for only being 14. Turns out he is from Nebraska, which is strange because everyone in the show had a thick, dirty English accent and he had it spot on. The show was way good and I am so glad I went to see it and was just a plum good evening.
