"Keep it light, keep it bright, keep it gay!"

H and I organized a small outing to the theatre last night. It took a bit of trial and error with the tickets, but everything worked out in the end. Obviously, we saw "The Producers," which I found hilarious.

For those of you unfamiliar with the basic plot, two Broadway producers put toegether a sure-fire flop--Springtime for Hitler--as part of money-making scheme. The musical is heavily satirical and includes many hilarious numbers (my personal favorites being "Keep it Gay," "When You Got It, Flaunt It," and "Haben Sie Gehort Das Deutsche Band?"). "Springtime for Hilter" itself is entirely beyond description.

[Note to Mom: You and Dad should keep this one in mind for when you visit.]

I'm planning to see quite a few more muscials--"The Lion King" (I'll probably splurge for better seats), "The Woman in White" (new Andrew Lloyd Webber), "Mamma Mia", "Billy Elliot", "Guys and Dolls", etc. Of course, I plan to see "Phantom" and "Les Miserables" (it's only my favorite ever!) again as well. H is also keen on seeing "Mary Poppins", which we've heard it good. I'm sad "Wicked" won't be here until the fall, but I guess I'll just have to trek to NYC (or back to London) and see it.

Tomorrow we're going on a school-organized, double-decker bus tour of London. I think I did one way back when with the family, but I'm definitely up for it again. Besides, it's free. I plan to take pics to share with you all.
