I am going to start with the coach ride to Stratford. Between Brendan, next to me, doing an honestly fantastic impression of Javier and Dru, Ben, Abby, and Shiloh doing equally amazing impressions of every other character in Les Mis back and forth to one another, the ride felt so short. I am sure to …

How many times is “mac & cheese” written in this post??
I would love to tell you that I branched out so widely during this trip, but I haven’t. I have had Five Guys on five separate occasions, Slim chickens twice, and I think I have a medical condition where my body instinctively forces me to involuntarily walk to anyplace that sells pasta. I have had …

Girl Power, love girls, bras!! (V&A)
I have been so fascinated by all the museums we have gone to and while the Victoria & Albert Museum wasn’t my favorite as a whole, the theatre related wing of the museum was one of my favorite exhibits to get lost in. At first, when I walked through the ballet/dance portion I was worried …
Fringe
I have always been in love with musical theatre. I started singing in the first grade in front of my class during every show and tell day—instead of bringing something like everyone else. A fact that truly gives insight as to who I would grow up to be; the obnoxious, show tune obsessed, passionate girl …
The Glass Menagerie
After reading The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams and discussing it during class, I was so thrilled that we were going to see it on the West End; especially because it was starring one of my favorite actors, Amy Adams. We had beautiful conversations about it being a memory play, the potential of the technical …
No Nuns in the Abbey
I have adored going through all the cathedrals/churches during our stay. I had no idea the magnitude of their construction until we first toured St. Paul’s, so I was incredibly excited to tour Westminster. As soon as we entered the Abbey, I grew so appreciative of the opportunity to stand in one of the most …
romantic bath fantasy dream day
Our visit to Bath was so dreamy to me. I tend to romanticize everything anyways, but here I felt like I hardly needed to try at all. The quaint streets, little bookstores, cafes, etc. already looked as though they were ready to be in some romance film. There were also street performers out everywhere we …
Tate
I have never been to an art museum dedicated solely to modern art. Truthfully, I have only been to a few art museums, all in the Tulsa area. The closest thing I have experienced to the Tate is the AHHA in Tulsa that displays local art in seasonal exhibits. Even then, it was nothing compared …
Why Can’t I stop crying?
To start this blog, I would like to be upfront and honest, I’m an emotional person. On a normal week in the states I will cry around 4-5 times on average. Normally not for a genuinely sad reason, but because I feel my emotions so heavily (especially happy ones) that I just have to. Today, …
I finally moved my blog posts yay
When I was preparing myself for this trip, I wasn’t at all focused on the social, cultural aspect of London. I was hyper fixated on the theatre we would be seeing and almost disregarded the fact that I would have to navigate London in order to see these lovely productions. Once we got off that …
