Today was an awesome day, to celebrate B’s birthday I bought her tickets to see Woman in White. A musical by the great Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Before all of that

Most of the morning was occupied on making a nice birthday cake. B insisted on making herself a cake, so yeah a quick trip down the local supermarket for the ingredients and away we go. The cake was pretty crazy, dont think I took photos of it though (well I might have, not too sure though)*

* Actually the photos are at B’s house, I need to get them some time

So yeah, most of the day was spent making cake, after B’s dad was back from work we all went to Covent Garden to see the play.

It was pretty amazing I must say, the story was based on the novel Woman in White (obviously hehe) and it talks about… bah I’ll paste some synopsis hehe

Musical adaptation of the book opened in London’s West End, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by David Zippel, and book by Charlotte Jones, freely adapted from the novel. Directed by Trevor Nunn, it opened Wednesday, 15 September 2004 at the Palace Theatre in London. It gained attention for its set design, which employed projections rather than traditional scenery. The scenery tended to divide audiences and critics; some found it innovative, but Ben Brantley of The New York Times likened it to being “trapped inside a floating upscale travel magazine.” The Broadway production opened on 17th November 2005 at the Marquis Theatre to mostly negative critical reaction. This followed much publicity after the show’s star, Maria Friedman, who had created the role of Marian Halcombe in the original London production, was diagnosed with breast cancer during previews; however, she underwent treatment to return for the Broadway premiere.

So yeah the show was quite amazing, though sadly, not as good as Phantom of the Opera.

Went back home, had some of the cake (wasnt too nice tbh haha, thoguh I dont like sweet cakes anyway) and had a nice evening
