Back from London, where I visited the queen. Note lower case. A bloody good (if quick/condensed/HOT) time, guv'ner. I would break into Cockney, but I'm lousy at it. My share of Pimm's pitchers, fish and chips, black pudding, and Earl Grey were consumed, souvenirs acquired, tubes taken, and British heat wave sweated thru. A fantastic show, as well...The Play That Goes Wrong (a must see). But it's back to live Broadway At Its Best this week, heavy on the English musicals, as the UK lingers in my blood stream and frontal cortex.
We also have to try out Waitress! It was up for a Best Musical Tony this spring, when it went toe-to-white bucks-toe to Hamilton (we know what happened there), but despite that disappointment, it has some nifty (if poppy) songs for us to sample. Also I have another new-to-2 On the Aisle CD, Sibling Revelry, which is a duet/solo mash up of the Calloway Sisters (Ann Hampton and Liz)...along with their standards and quirky cabaret, they invade the Broadway genre, quite nicely. Quite. Hmmm...back to South Kensington, I see.
Anyway, lots to have fun with. Have a cuppa on Sunday with me, or between scones and breakfast martinis (yes, this is a real thing!!!), we'll do brilliant Broadway. :)
