My birthday was on Tuesday, and Blake surprised me with two tickets to Cirque du Soleil's Verakai performance! It was absolutely amazing - one of the best shows I've ever seen. There were two "clowns" that had random acts between scenes, and they were hysterical; Blake and I couldn't stop laughing. Some of the things that the performers did were absolutely astounding, and sometimes slightly terrifying. At times, the performers would have spotters or mats beneath them, but other times...they had absolutely nothing! It added so much to the performance... Verakai closes this weekend, and another show will be on while we're here. I really want to go to it, too!
Not to mention, I've now made it a new goal to score a job with Cirque! Whether it's design or just board operation...I would love it!
Wednesday night we saw a production of Richard III for our Fringe class. It was a great show with really, really talented actors. The space reminded me a bit of the Balcony Theatre back at MSU, so that was a bit nostalgic.
Then tonight (it's been another theatre-heavy week!), we sent to go see "The Woman in Black", a horror play that's been playing for 21 years on the West End. It was the coolest show I've ever seen...I've never seen a horror play before, but I absolutely loved it! The actress that played the woman in black was so creepy and pretty terrifying...I jumped a lot and squeeked a couple times (never screamed, just eeped! :D). I actually think "The Woman in Black" is my new favorite play...there was just something about it that I really enjoyed. Not to mention, the sound, lights and set were really fantastic! An all around great production. :) Which we were expecting...I mean, 21 years on the West End! Intense!
The only downside to this was that we seemed to have gone on the high school night...there were so many high school students there and they were really overly dramatic and kind of ruined some moments for me. Sigh.
Unrelated to live theatre, Blake went to the Valentine's Day European premiere tonight and saw some actors - Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Jessica Alba! I was working at King's Head all day, so I missed it. Alice in Wonderland is having a premiere here in a couple weeks, and we both plan on attending that. :)
Until next time~! <3
