Theater in London

Posted by Griffin. We have gone to see a lot of theater in London. First we went to see Measure for Measure at the Globe. This was a wonderful, very Shakespearean, experience, and I would highly recommend the Globe to anyone visiting London. The Globe has been rebuilt like it would have been in the 17th century. The acting is phenomenal, and I would highly recommend the Globe to anyone in London.

On Wednesday night we went to see Wicked! Wicked is so fun! It is a musical reimagining of the "life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West". It is amazing, and is pretty much the closest thing to perfection. Ever.

On Thursday we went to see Mamma Mia! Mamma Mia is such a fun, sunny musical that you couldn't not love it. It's a feel good story that uses hits from the 80's, whats not to love?

Theater in London is so amazing! There is such a variety of shows, and the casts are some of the best in the world. Choose whichever show interests you, and go.

Shakespeare's Globe

The exterior of the Globe 
Posted by Griffin. Yesterday we went to see Measure for Measure at the Globe Theater. The Globe has been reconstructed to the tiniest detail to ensure that you can experience Shakespeare to the fullest. The theater is beautiful, the open roof lets air and light in, and the stage has been masterfully reconstructed. The performance was amazing! All of the actors were top-notch, executing the play perfectly. The Globe was a great experience, and definitely one of my best experiences in London so far.
