London Day 13, Taking the Bar Scene too Literally

After being so busy all the time the last two weeks, we all took Saturday at a much more leisurely pace. We figured we had deserved it. After sleeping in for one of the first times on the trip we got up and met up once more with Sami's friends from London, Charlotte and Steph and went to Covent Garden to do some shopping. After we just hung about and grabbed lunch. It was all very causal and fun. It London easy living. After spending a nice afternoon with girls it was quickly evening and time to meet up with the class once more for our final show in London, La Boheme at the Soho Theatre. First it was time for my last hot chocolate in London.

We arrived at the Soho Theatre and walked upstairs trying to sit, instead we were ushered back down again and told to wait. So we promptly took out our sandwiches took a seat and waited. When we finally got our seats and got a first peak at the stage and scenery, I was not very impressed. I was worried the show was going to end up being a bad version of Rent. Which in many ways it really was. The Operatic singing was alright, but the modern adaptation just seemed rather lame. Not to mention when Act 2 came about we were forced out of our seats and sent downstairs to the bar. There we were surprised to find out Act 2 would be taking place in the bar. Needless to say there was nowhere for anyone to sit and it was crowded and uncomfortable. While I appreciate the cleverness of the idea in practicality I feel as if the scheme just didn't work. I couldn't really see or hear anything so I ended up just being a bit lost when Act 3 began and I was just waiting for the play to end.
And end it did. So maybe not the best end to London, but an end it was.
To bed and then DAY 14.
