Today we went to The Victoria and Albert Museum, to be honest I liked looking around at all the different things that the museum had to offer, but I had a really hard time finding things that I could relate to any of the shows that we have seen. Eventually I found a few!
The first thing that I found was a case of instruments that reminded me of when I saw the musical The Curious case of Benjamin Button. It had a violin, a Cello, and what looked to be an older Clarinet. This reminded me of this show because all of these instruments and more where in the show, and multiple people play multiple instruments. I think that’s why I liked the show so much because the roles where fluid and everyone was so talented with playing the instruments, and singing and dancing.
The next thing that I found was a fireplace that reminded me of the play The Mousetrap. Tonight Madison and I finally got to see the ending to The Mousetrap! I won’t spoil it for anyone wanting to still see it or watch the movie. All I have to say is that I think it’s a great show and it was very well put on, I can see why the show has been running for 71 years.
The last thing that I found was a clock, it reminded me of The Curious case of Benjamin Button. There was not a physical clock anywhere on stage in the show, but they really emphasizes the concept of time. They would always say the exact amount of time that had passed between two events and the musical took place over a lifetime, about 69 – 70 years.
