Do You Hear the People Sing?

At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned

 

As you may guess from the lyrics mentioned above, I recently went to see Les Miserables here in London. It was pretty epic, to be sure. The songs had special significance as they reminded me of some truly prime rehearsals experienced during my theatre school days.

 

I don't know that I will ever get my fill of seeing great theatre, especially in this city. Don't get me wrong - I haven't loved every show I've seen so far....just most of them. I enjoy these productions so much because they are just well done. The actors are amazing, they have money to spare on lighting, costumes and production value, and they are out to entertain you. I know that not all theatre can be like this, but it sure is something to see when and if you can. So I'm trying to take in as much as I can.

 

The day when I will no longer be able to pop down to the West End is nearing all too soon so I mean to treasure these days as much as I possibly can!

 

I'm entering a period of what one might call Mega Adventuring! October will be filled with many fun times, featuring a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest as well as my parents' subsequent visit to London and our trip to Edinburgh. Perhaps I will revisit Stratford-upon-Avon somewhere in there, just for kicks.

 

It is important, when enjoying Mega Adventures, to take things one day at a time:

One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
One day more
One day to a new beginning
There's a new world for the winning
One day more!
