x . . w e s t . . e n d . . x: 28th September 2007 .:. We Will Rock You

This musical is amazing, I loved it, but my hands hurt from all the clapping - but that happens all the time!

Had an okay train journey, which was only okay because of the call me and Danni had over the phone about stilettos, we will rock you and wicked. Me & Dad got off at Charing Cross and then transfered to the northern line where we bought underground tickets so we could get to Tottenham Court Road. Two stops later we're off the train and I'm getting excited about the Wicked posters and confused by the large amount of people at the station. Walk up some stairs and we're outside and I suddenly see this big statue and then get excited because it's the Dominion Theatre. So we wait at the crossing and then we cross the road and stand outside the theatre while I try to find Emz, and Emz tries to find me. Emz then found me - the :loser:'s unite - and then my dad goes and leaves, so me and Emz start walking into the theatre discussing the tickets and the Hairspray advert on the back. We walk in and immediatley join the queue to buy programmes. Not a long queue, I think there were only two people infront of us. Then I asked the guy selling the stuff which programme has the cast in it and he told me it was the small one, so I asked for three of those. Then I asked for a glowstick and picked green - no pink - and paid for my stuff and then Emz bought her stuff which was a programme and glow stick. We went and joined the queue to buy some snacks and flicked through the programme and found Rachael Wooding - woohoo! Emz then spotted some Wicked leaflets and took one and then decided to take a WWRY one aswell. I took 3 of each. Then we flicked through the programme again and spotted a Wicked advert which made us really happy. Then we bought some snacks - we both bought Minstrels and Water =] Oh, while we were in the queue we looked and saw that Rachael Wooding was on the slot thing where it has the characters and who's on that night. After we got our Water & Minstrels we went upstairs to go find our seats. We saw a champagne bar and talked about champagne for a bit before going through the doors and getting our tickets checked by a woman with an accent. We were in row D of the circle, seats 30 and 31. We sat down and put our stuff down and I took some pictures of the stage and discussed random stuff, before I called Mum to tell her I'm going to turn off my phone. Then I opened my minstrels and showed Emz how to open the silver cover bit because it wouldnt peel off - we were both :loser:s I ended up poking mines until it ripped haha. Chatted for a bit about Emz's phone pic and MSN pic and Oli and Martin. Then the lights went down and we were looking at the stage curtain which was red and then text came up like a history thing one by one - about the beatles and queen and stuff like that and it went way into the future...with funky music.

Innuendo

Freddie Mercury - great way to open the show, loved it - funky and a great Queen song. Always seem to want to call it Innuendo, Outuendo though!

Radio GaGa

I loved this song, and the dancing - except for this one man who was really freaky - he was staring at me and Emz the whole way through and he had these weird trousers on...
But yeah, very catchy song - All we hear is, Radio Gaga..Internet GaGa..dancing was good aswell all synchronised and stuff. Love those big TV screens behind them with the robotic people up there hehe and the teachers behind the people dancing..

I Want To Break Free

Galileo's one. Really good, and him just standing infront of the teacher and her just like "umm step away you freak you cant make music" and him just singing about being different and breaking free from this internet cyberworld he is in. And having a name which he gave himself - Galileo Figaro.

I Want To Break Free Reprise

Woohoo Scaramouche! I loved this version even though it was just a reprise, Jenna has a really good voice and the best facial expressions ever. Next to Mazz Murray that is. But anyway.

Somebody To Love

I LOVE THIS SONG! Seriously. And one of the teen queens had Pink & Green streaks in her hair which was exciting. Jenna's voice showing off again which is good because she should because she's got a great voice. "Somebody to! Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oooveeeeee-ahh" What a song with great facial expressions from Jenna. Oh yeah and the Teen Queens talking about downloading clothes from the internet..and then calling Scaramouche a bitch - haha. But the song..woohoo loved it.

Killer Queen

This song was amazing, didn't think I'd like it so much but I loved it with those robotic moving people all dancing at the same time and Killer Queen standing on that thingy being the best in her leopard print coat thingymajig. Oh those robotic thingys are Yuppies.

Play The Game

Umm..can' remember this, probably because it was the same people singing this song straight after the other one. But I still liked it, really good dancing again and singing from Mazz.

Under Pressure

I liked this song, it has a catchy beat and someone near me was tapping their feet to it I could feel it in the floor haha - don't blame them though. It was great though, Scaramouche and Galileo getting to know each other and then the end bit where it looked like they would kiss they just turn their heads and go "Under Pressure" was really great.

A Kind Of Magic

I love this song it was really good, again the dancing was brilliant as always - it's a kind of magic..da da..da daa da daa..woo [=

I Want It All

WOOHOO MEAT!!! RACHAEL WOODING!!! I loved this song, because Rachael was in it and it is just generally a good song. So much wanting..duh..and Brit is so funny with his muscles haha and Meat is just amazing and funny, and I just loved this song.

Headlong

Yay! Loved this song too! Loads of power and I loved Rachael's voice in this, I just generally love this song...YOUR RUSHING HEADLONG..yeah, amazing, loved how they are now joined up because they should be.

No-one But You (Only The Good Die Young)

I LOVED THIS SONG SOO MUCH BECAUSE RACHAEL WOODING SINGS IT. AND KERRY DID TOO. BUT STILL. AMAZING SONG. SERIOUSLY. LOVLEY AND I LOVED IT AND ME AND EMZ WERE SCREAMING LOUDLY AT THE END OF THE SONGS I dont think the person next to me liked me very much after that haha. Beautiful song and well sung by Rachael..

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Woo loved this song too - great dancing and singing and stuff all in pairs and Scaramouche is now wearing Bohemian clothes like the rest of them.

Interval

Right. I decided I wanted to go downstairs, and Emz decided to come with me. So we left our coats and drinks and minstrels at our seats and then went downstairs. I went snap happy and took pictures of Rachael Wooding's name because I am that cool. Everyone thought I was werid. Got took pictures - one on the thing where it says all the cast and then one on the thing where it has the character and cast member playing the role. Then we went back upstairs and went around looking for pictures of Kerry but we couldn't find any. So we went to the shop and I saw this poster and in the corner it had a picture of Kerry as Meat and I was just like "We found Kerry! That is definitley Kerry Ellis, I know it's Kerry Ellis, it looks like Kerry Ellis and it is Kerry Ellis!" and the woman working there was like "Yes it is Kerry Ellis - have you seen her in Wicked?" So I said "Yes, I've seen it twice but her only once" and then Emz was like "I was going to see Wicked tonight but came here with her aswell" and then I bought a WWRY tshirt [= Then we went back to our seats and we discussed our glowsticks and I had to open Emz's wrapper for her glowstick hehe [= Then back to theeee showww..

One Vision

Woohoo loved this song again with those people dressed in white, didn't see the creepy man, probably because the costumes were different though haha. Great synchronised dancing again and great singing aswell.

Who Wants To Live Forever

Haha I loved this song it was really good, nice harmonising and long note holding. Beautiful song.

You're My Best Friend

What..wait..yeah..oh! Yeah I liked this song it was cool [=

Flash

This song was flashy haha interesting and very good stuff when they're all being flashed and stuff zzt with those skeleton things on the screen and then theyre all like laying on their chairs.

Seven Seas of Rhye

I quite liked this song, telling then about where they all go and stuff and what the seven sea's are in the first place anyway.

Fat Bottomed Girls

Need I say what this is about - girls with pink fluffy things - well they are Sex Yuppies - so it is explained. Khashoggi's face when he see's them haha!

Don't Stop Me Now

I really liked this song even though it was so short, it was still really good because it's a great song and is sung by Mazz. "What part of don't stop me now don't you understand?"

Another One Bites The Dust

This has really good gymnastics and dancing in it, and is really interesting to watch, the way it is set out and all that, really good, and great singing. Loved the dancing. I love the song aswell. I loved the way it was set out really interesting. Said it twice, makes more impact [=

Hammer To Fall

For some reason in this song I kept thinking it was headlong even though it wasn't so similar, but then I stopped thinking that. I really liked this song too - great way of them showing how they feel not going "Go away stupid" but singing it.

These Are The Days Of Our Lives

I really liked this, lots of great harmonising in this song which was so serious..what's the word, can't think of it. But really effective.

Bicycle Race

You know what was funny - when they were like "BICYCLE, BICYCLE, BICYCLE" and Scaramouche was like "Okay then..." Liked this though [=

We Will Rock You

Woo this song rocked man loved it loads all the clapping and stuff even though it hurt my hands but still loved it - great singing and dancing and stuff! We Will Rock You - the song of the musical - the title song - whatever, it was great and I loved it loads of energy put into this.

We Are The Champions

Totally, and got most people singing along - not me though haha or Emz I don't think, unless she was secretly singing. But yeah really enthusiastic this song is.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Hehe I loved this song it was really good an excelent way to end the show, brilliant loved this song!

STAGE DOOR

Me and Emz walked around the theatre looking for Starbucks and we found it and I was like "Nah I think the stage door was where we passed a big sign where it says 'Dominion Theatre Stage Door'" so we walked back to there and were just getting our stuff out when someone comes out and Emz says it's Rachael Wooding - I don't believe her so peek over Rachael's shoulder and see that she signed Rachael Wooding and then believed Emz. Then after Rachael spoke to these people she turned to us, and I'll script this out to make it easier to read.

Emz: Hi Rachael, could you sign my programme please?

Rachael: Yep sure, can you hold these for me..

*Rachael gives Emz her phone and purse and signs programme*

Rachael: I have so much stuff and my boyfriend is just standing there not helping me at all!

Emz: Is it Hairspray you're doing next then?

Rachael: Yup

Emz: Good luck in that

Rachael: Thanks

*Turns to me*

Me: I have so much stuff in my hands...

Rachael: Here I'll take the programmes

*I put my minstrels on the floor and pass Rachael my programmes, who then drops them on the floor*

Rachael: Shit!

*I pick them up and give them to Rachael who signs all three*

Me: Two of them are for my friends...

Emz: We think you're amazing

Rachael: Thankyou!

*Gives programmes back to me and pen to Emz*

Emz: Can I have a picture please?

Rachael: Yep sure

*Emz gives me camera and I take a pic*

Me: Can I have a photo aswell please?

Rachael: Yeah, come round the otherrrr side so you don't get smooshed by my clothes..

Me: What - oh right okay

*I go round other side and give Emz my camera who then takes a pic*

Me: Thank you [=

Emz: Wait - can I have another pic please, mines didn't come out so well

Rachael: Okay

*I take a pic on my camera*

Emz: Thankyou!

Rachael: Bye!

Emz&Me: Byeee!

*Rachael crosses the road to her boyfriend*

Then me and Emz are talking about Rachael and her phone and then I go "I can't believe you held - " and then Rachael Wooding runs past us down the road haha! And I was like "We saw Rachael Wooding run! This is so exciting!" and then we talk about her more and then she drives past us and beeps at us and I almost wave at her car hehe [= I saw Rachael Wooding drive a car! It was a Smart Car =D Woo!!

Later on my mum comes after me and Emz have talked more about random stuff and I introduce mum to Emz, and then tell her about We Will Rock You and some random hyperness of mine about Kerry Ellis and Rachael Wooding.

This woman who we didn't recognise was coming in and out in and out and we weren't sure who she was but was obviously a cast member and she signed someones programme and then they had a pic and she did this pose with her neck up for a laugh but then did a smiley face. She came in and out so many times! Then she was carrying some stuff haha then came back again lol.
After some time Peter Johansson came out (Galileo) and then some girl got pictures with him and said something and then me and Emz went to him and Emz asked him to sign her programme and then he was like "While I'm at it, I'll sign your programme...s aswell." So he signs our programmes and then we get pictures with him then he says Bye to us and so do we.

Then me and Emz decide we should leave. So we say "Goodbye - see you at Wicked Day - nice meeting you!" and then Emz walks one way to the train station and I go the other way with my mum to my dads car.
