One of the lovely things about living in London is the opportunity to go to the theatre. Not that you don't get that chance in Brisbane, but in London, there's literally 20 or 30 odd shows on at any given time (and the rest!) that you can go and see - in Brisbane, you're lucky if 2 or 3 visit QPAC in a year... alas...!
Anyway, I have recently realised that with the return to the Bris Vegas fast approaching, I need to fit in as many shows as I can (plus it's one of the things I said in my phone interview, so I suppose I better do it!). So on Wednesday night I went with Laura to see Hairspray.
I've never seen the film - just snippets of it - so I wasn't really sure what to expect - but I thought it was just brilliant. Michael Ball played the mother and he was hilarious! I had always thought he was a good singer, but he's a pretty good actor too, and he just made the whole thing.
The music was terribly catchy - I have to borrow Laura's CD or buy my own or something - you just leave the theatre singing all the songs. My favourites were 'Big, Blonde and Beautiful', 'Hey Momma, welcome to the 60s' and the last one which I've now forgotten the name of!

Brilliant show! Glad we got to see Michael Ball after my disappointment the first time round. The last song is 'You can't stop the beat'.
