Review of Cinderella at the Lyric Hammersmith

Well, my review of the somewhat ill-fated trip to see Cinderella at the Lyric Hammersmith is up now. We probably should have gone to see Cinderella at the Wimbledon theater, but, um, oops. It wasn't a bad show, though, just kind of ... not so much not what it said on the tin but I do really feel like they weren't clear enough about to what extent this show wasn't supposed to be lighthearted. That said, I'm too tired to finish the review of today's opera - it will hold until tomorrow.

Um, day in general: nice breakfast; grocery shopping; went into town to see "Riders from the Sea" at the English National Opera; came home and cooked duck for [info]shadowdaddy, my uncle, and [info]wechsler (this was kind of his thank you dinner for taking care of me when I was sick); played Pinochle, wrote. I think it was pretty much a perfect day and I'm in a pretty good mood now. Yay for nice Sundays.

Marcus said he really enjoyed the show, and apparently H has been fine today and referred to the show without any signs of upset, so I think all is well. :) And it wasn't your fault, just one of those things, so don't worry!

Perhaps a trip to Cinderella in Wimbledon after Christmas will compensate?

We are thinking of taking her to an actual panto, yes - probably before Christmas. Shall look at options!

Okay! Well, we're going to the Hackney one, as it's been my favorite show each of the last two Christmases, but I figure since we're going on Friday there's not much of a chance of coordinating on that.

We are technically free Friday night, but given that Saturday daytime will feature a party for H and a dozen of her friends, I think we should probably stay in and prepare. :)
(aargh - must get her a birthday cake. Or make one.)
