Yesterday, I needed more than anything to clear my head, relax, escape the tangle of thoughts that were clogging my brain. The theatre. A brilliant solution. The theatre is a place I can go when I need to escape. Leave reality and venture into a world that is not my own. A place where I can fully focus on something else and leave everything I know behind.
London is not like new york in that the theatres are not all next to eachother. Seeing as I am still learning how to find my way from one place to the next, the search for a show was difficult. I passed Mamma Mia and The 39 Steps but that was certainly not what I wanted. At 2:30pm I decided to find Hairspray since its matinee on Saturdys is at 3. However, being me and all i got super lost.
I ended up passing Jersey Boys and knew that was where I should be. The show had already started but that didn't really bother me much.
--oh crap, just realized I never finished this--
anyway, we're working on overviews here. So jersey Boys. I enjoyed it a lot, it really hit the spot for me, Always makes me feel better. The theatre was bigger than the one in New York. I mean, obviously the show itself is better on Broadway, but I think they did a pretty good job. The guy playing tommy was awesome, frankie was good though he played the character TOTALLY differently than JLY does, which was interesting to see. But yes, it was what I needed. Perfect.
As for the title, I think that was about how I was craving a croissant that day (this was weeks ago) and I went to starbucks but they didn't have any and instead I got a cinnamon bun. Yeah it was good, I mean, it's a cinnamon bun, but I didn't feel good afterwords. I just felt like I had consumed empty calories and it wasn't worth it if i wasn't fully satisfied. Had I gotten what I wanted, the calories would have been justified because the craving would have been fulfilled. So that's when i decided to build a mantra, never settle.
