16th February 2013 - Back from Starlight Express

Had a great afternoon at the Bord Gáis Theatre. First, I thought I got lost in the city centre. Thanks to my mobile phone which died later on due to a low battery, I found my way savely to the theatre. It was the first time, that I went to see something in there.

When I arrived, I got a lovely surprise. I had booked a ticket over the internet and was told when I went to the box office, that those seats were not available for this show so I got promoted on my seat which meant I moved down four rows towards the stage.

My previous seat was in row N, number 27. I was more than delighted. The purple finger is the Shellac treatment I got done to my nails and yes, I am wearing high heels.

I dressed up a bit for this event. A while ago, I bought this lovely beaded cardigan in a vintage store that didn't fit me before Christmas and now it finally does. So I bought it and it was still on sale.

The show was fantastic, I really loved it! It was like experiencing a childhold memory. I used to listen to the music of Starlight Express a lot when I was younger so I am happy that I finally managed to see the musical. The stage wasn't very big, all the activity during the show took place on the centre stage. During the racing parts of the musical, we had to wear 3D-glasses as these parts were prerecorded and then shown on a big screen in 3D.

I was amazed the amount of kids that attended the muscial. Shows you how much it takes you in as a child.

Dun Laoghaire tomorrow ... here I come!
