What a month! If there ever was a way to completely describe my time in London, I’m sure it would take many more pages and would never quite do the experience justice, but I will try! I was incredibly nervous for this trip. Even the idea of going to London with a bunch of people …

HAMLET HAIL TO THE SOUND GUY NEXT TO US!!!
The Royal Shakespeare Company is a place that has been top of my list of where I wanted to see live theater for years. They are known for the high caliber of actors that they bring in, the incredible design elements that bring their shows to life, and the audiences that travel far and wide …

LONDON MARKETS!!!
The London Markets – a true staple of the city and something that people come from far and wide to see. They have not disappointed! The markets in London have been a highlight of the trip and are home to some of my favorite memories so far – like eating yummy food with friends, finding …
HAMPTON COURT PALACE IN REVIEW!!!
If Hampton Court palace were added to Zillow I cannot even imagine the billions of dollars that it would go for. This palace is completely incredible and an absolute national treasure – we were so lucky to see it! From the get, before we even got to the palace, I didnt know much about it. …
PORTRAITS!! & LOTS OF EM!!
The National Portrait Gallery was everything I wanted it to be and more. It was completely full of portraits I’ve seen in all of my history textbooks for my entire life – and it was one of the coolest experiences to see them in real life. I didn’t realize how many of these completely historic …
WESTMINSTER ABBEY!!! POETS & MORE!!!
Westminster Abbey is one of those things you hear about all your life, but never think you’ll actually visit or stand in. That was certainly the case for me – I’ve heard so much about this place. The royal weddings, the funerals, and of course, the coronations, it all takes place in this Abbey. And …
R+J!!!! @ THE GLOBE!!!
Seeing Romeo and Juliet at the Globe was something I was very excited about, but it wasn’t something that I thought would stand out in the trip the way that it did. In fact, as soon as the show began, I could tell this would be one of the best shows we saw on the …
BAAATTTHHH!!!! but not in a tub!!
took a big bubble bath on Thursday!! actually, we couldn’t touch the water because it was untreated and would probably infect us – but just seeing and learning about the Roman Baths was enough for me! Wowowow. I had no idea what these were before getting to them in real life, and I had no …
MY MASTER BUILDER…???
So many thoughts and at the same time – almost none. I left this theater feeling genuinely so confused / uncomfortable / troubled? It was a very strange two hours. Overall, I just felt like there wasn’t much of a story or an impact. I am not a believer that every single shows goal is …
VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM X WICKED!!!!!!
Before I begin, I would be remiss if not to explain how deeply I love Wicked, and for how long I have deeply loved it. This is truly my dream show, my dream music, my dream costumes, my dream story – what could possibly be better than telling the story of two women with an …
