Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Today we watched Hamilton on Disney Plus. This was pretty much the reason I subscribed in the first place and as it's quite long, I thought it best to schedule it in. And we made a night of it. Curtain up at 7:30pm, (vegan) ice-cream at the interval and we genuinely clapped in all the appropriate places. I loved the show when I saw it in the West End - I was one of the first big group bookings I think, there were 19 of us! I've listened many times to the soundtrack and it was a real thrill to see it again. It felt live and I got goose bumps with the opening chords. It is hands down one of the smartest musicals I've ever had the pleasure of watching and I'm going to be re-watching and listening again very soon.

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Easter Sunday 🥚 Thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber's generosity, today I watched Jesus Christ Superstar - the 2012 arena tour. I was really excited to see this as I didn't get to at the time and I've never seen the musical - ever! And what a cast - a Spice Girl (Mel C) a radio legend (Chris Moyles who was HUGE at the time) and Tim Minchin as Judas who blew me away. I also loved Alexander Hanson as Pontius Pilate It definitely felt like a good choice for Easter Sunday! I'm sure they made some updates to it, but considering this musical is now 50 years old, it felt fresh and modern in it's telling of a story from 2000 years ago. It didn't have good reviews at the time, but I enjoyed it - maybe weirdly it works better on screen?
Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I've got long hair and have had for all my adult life. As it's curly, I can get away with quite a lot with it, including getting it cut about twice a year... I know, terrible. I was very much due a cut when "all this" happened so I took matters literally into my own hands and chopped off a couple of inches. I don't think I've done the best job, but again, as it's curly, my hair hides a multitude of sins/poor cutting. When I do eventually get to see my hairdresser again, I'm hoping he'll forgive whatever it is I've done. In other hair news, many of my male friends and family's hair is getting comically longer and shaggier as the weekly video calls go on. I wonder how many hair clippers Amazon has sold recently...
