I just found out that when I reach London, we have THREE days off to do whatever we like.
Any suggestions?
Here are my initial reactions:
1) Find Adele. Make her serenade me.
2) Do my best Austin Powers impersonation (in full dress, of course).
3) Seduce the Queen. Marry her. Usurp her. Become King of England.
4) Audition for a musical as an ensemble member. Step out of the chorus and steal the show. Become a star.
5) Eat crumpets and drink tea.
6) Run around screaming “London Bridge is falling down!”
No, but seriously, please suggest something to me via Facebook timeline or message or comment.
I definitely want to see a play each night. I feel as if this is going to be a theatrical experience, I want it to be a truly theatrical experience. But maybe I’ll want a break from theatre. Probably not. I’m thinking one musical and one non-musical. I am really, REALLY trying to like musicals. In general, I loathe them. It’s not that I’ve seen many, but I’ve seen plenty of clips of them and I could write an essay on why I don’t enjoy them. It’s ok for other people to, but it’s just not my style of theatre. Exception for The Lion King.
What touristy stuff should I do? I think it is going to be able to hit up the exterior of a lot of places, but where should I spend time to go inside? I think the National Gallery for sure... I want to find King Henry VIII’s portrait and those of his wives and also the Elgin Marbles.
While you guys are thinking of what I should do for my first two days, I’ll tell you some good news.
Over drinks with the director, I managed to squeeze Meryl Streep into the conversation. She loves her, too. Thinks she’s the best. For those of you who know me, I’m sure you know how happy it makes me to know that my boss likes my idol/hero/soulmate.
You don’t want to know the results of those who have responded negatively to Meryl Streep. I’m not kidding. There have been two instances. We’ll save that for another time.
