|There's an 'us' in usual.

I had a relaxing weekend mainly consisting of the usual, with my usual people.
Here are some of the things I did and some things I bought!

1. dressed up in a red  bob wig with a fringe, which quite suited me, and I might get into cosplay just so I can wear it.

2. Watched the Olivier Awards on BBC2 red button, glad they covered it, but I didn't see many of the awards as it was being interrupted with sodding BBC2 toff interviews, I don't fucking care about which level you find yourself on when you travel into the metaphor behind the interpretation of this forgotten, rediscovered,unwritten, heartfelt play. I WANTED TO SEE THE PERFORMANCES.
Ramin Karimloo was amazing as always performing Till I hear you Sing and the Phantom and Christine form Phantom of The Opera were amazing too, so was Into the Woods, Alfie Boe and Angela Lansbury, so was a good watch apart from the toffs saying 'if (fill in the gap with mentioned play) doesn't win (fill in gap with mentioned award) then there's no justice in the world' for every interview :/

3. Went to the piercing shop with my grandma....It wasn't me having TWO  piercings, it was HER. I  have a cool grandma!

4. Built my new greenhouse, I got it in Wilkinsons for £12! it is huge so was such a bargain!

5. Bleached my hair, I am officially an ultra light ash baby blonde :)

And I bough these.....

Shorts H&M childrens £9.99

Bag- Priamark childrens £1.30

Clips- Priamrk Childrens £1 per pack

T-shirt Primark Men's £5

Earrings- Claires £4

Leggings £10 cheap shop

I got some bargains but maybe it should be worrying that the majority come from children/men's section of the shops haha.
The bag and clips were just too adorable especially RAINBOWS and PARROTS and CUPCAKES, I had a bit of an excited squeal scream in Primark which made people look haha

I did not own a pair of shorts until i bought these ones, I fancied a highwaisted, denim pair but not butcrack showing hotpants, I wanted there to actually be some short there rather than them being denim knickers. I tried a few pairs on in H&M but they were too short, which is fine if your J-lo but it doesn't really flatter my shape. I spied these ones in the girl's section and looking knowing I fit into the teen wear around my waist ( not trousers haha ankle swingers!) i tried them on. They are a much more flattering shape and very comfy so i bought them....oh and they were £15 cheaper than women's ones!

The T-shirt was one of those 'Oh I can't not buy that now that I've seen it' Purchases, I had also seen it Here at kellicious (check it out, click the link)  

The Leggings  were just also unusual for only £10 to go past....and my mama was way too excited about the union jack ones!

There are so many clothes in primark and topshop etc at the moment with the American flag on , yeh it's pretty and all but I'm not American and would rather have the Union Jack ,they just don't do as many items with it on, which is strange seeing as it is actually our country's flag.

REVIEW: Love Never Dies

It's been a long wait but here it finally is, my review for Love Never Dies!

I went to see it 2 weeks ago on a Saturday matinee performance at the Adelphi Theatre and was incredibly surprised at how different it was to how I expected. Here's a clip of some of the sings/parts, with Ramin Karimloo (who I saw! <3) singing, he is AMAZING not even theatre trained, started off in a rock band! It's not long but gives you a feel of the show :)

Being an avid Theatre Fan, especially of musicals (it's the only thing I have on my ipod and listen to whilst working) I have of course already seen Phantom of The Opera, the story before Love Never Dies and it is MY FAVOURITE show of all time, it's a classic, has everything and Andrew Lloyd Webber's definitely the reason it is one of longest running musicals in London, and is still NO1 with ticket sales.


Also I have had the Love Never Dies Soundtrack since it's release last summer, and already know all the words to the songs, and most of the storyline from the songs.


This was a good thing as I really felt in with the show when I watched it but also it has so many changes from the CD that I was shocked at some parts, lyrical changes and character changes.

It did definitely keep the suspense up for me, as it seems to have has many changes since the opening night, but all definitely for the better!!

The main change was the beginning, they completely cut out the first 3 songs, all the Prologue, so that it starts with 'Till I hear you Sing' at the 'start' rather than all the back story and Prologue which is set at the end of the show.

I think this was a really clever choice as although I loved the prologue ( in the same format as the beginning of Phantom) song it did make the beginning of the show slow going and did not leave the storyline a mystery.
This way the twist at the end can be kept a surprise and leaves the option for a couple of different culprits!

They even went as far to set the way for the audience to think that it will be Madame Giry that sets up the twist at the end, by removing Meg's anger toward Christine in the song 'Dear old Friends', redoing 'Madame Giry Confronts the phantom as couplet between Meg and Madame Giry, and setting up suspicious little things like her going into the Phantoms workshop and picking up the gun.....

The main reason for Raoul, Christine and Gustave going to America was also changed, instead of going to close Mr Y's (Phantom's) Phantasma, they were invited by Mr Hammerstien (MR.H) to sing at the Manhattan Opera House, then the Phantom blackmails Christine with Gustave's safety, to come and sing.
This fits in better with the suspense, and the song 'Dear old Friends' as otherwise Meg and Madame Giry would of been aware that Christine was coming to Coney Island.

Seriously fits in better with the storyline, and songs , and really creates more drama at the end as it is such a shock and you really feel for both Christine and Meg. I think the lack of sympathy was one of the main problems that they encountered before the changes were made , but it definitely wasn't a problem now...

I COULDN'T STOP CRYING !

The scenery was amazing,  I could not believe how marvelous the set was... really has moved with new technical ability and although so modern, still fit the time perfectly!
The Cast was marvelous, especially Sierra Boggess(Christine) Ram,in Karimloo (Phantom) who just worked marvelously together.

If you have the chance to see it....GO!!! Because love never dies!!!!

I was so glad that they were nominated for so many awards at the Whats On Stage award including Ramin getting best Musical Actor, gthey are nominated for many more at the Olivier awards this month!

If you want any more info or want to chat about anything musical I'd love to just add me on Twitter!

And I have Definately used the word Definately too much in this post. Definately.

Hope you enjoyed my review!
