On the morning of May 30th my trip to London took an unexpected turn. I woke up with sweating with body chills. Every bone in my body was aching and every muscle was sore. I was feeling sick to my stomach and my eyes hurt like they had been pierced with lasers. We …

Ben complains about Legally Blonde even though it was kinda good.
Our day at regions park was some of the most fun I’ve had on this trip, but Legally Blonde was a little disappointing. It was my first time seeing theatre outside on a stage of that scale and it made me realize how many challenges arise with operating an outdoor venue. The Play started at 7:30 so …

Legally Blonde
Legally Blonde the musical at an outdoor theater was a fantastic experience. This is the first time I had the opportunity to experience legally Blond as a live performance. The theater was located in a lovely park that I had the opportunity to wonder around and explore for a while. In the park you could …
May 31st: Non-Theatrical Art, Part 2 & Lift
Our second art museum on this lovely trip was The National Gallery, which has a decidedly less…eclectic collection of art than the Tate Modern. We were also supposed to visit the National Portrait Gallery that day, but they will be closed until 2023, so unfortunately, I will have to catch it on another trip. Luckily, …

Legally Blonde eeeek!
I think it’s safe to say we all knew how excited I was for this show. Legally Blonde has been close to my heart for years now and Elle Woods is a role I have to play before I die. I memorized the entire score almost immediately after watching a bootleg of the OBC on …
The Tower of London

Upon first arriving, one thing that stood out to me was the greenery filling most of the moat surrounding the Tower. The interior of the Tower …
The Monster of Bath
We had a very late night coming home from Regents Park, and a VERY early morning for our trip to Bath. Starting with a trip to Paddington station (a very lovely bear seen below) and then a long train ride to the city, it was looking like a rough morning for me. The city of …
The City of Bath and the Fallen Cone
The original Roman Baths are as old as the 1st century and the most recent construction was completed in 1897. The Baths were an extremely important part of the socialization of people as well as the higher-up important political figures. These Baths were where everyone came, and it was everyone’s temple in a way. The …
Theatre (Is A Walk) In The Park
After a brief hiatus due to some sick classmates, the group was able to reconvene for a trip to Regents Park for a walk about and a show at an outdoor theater. So with a bit of a walk to get to the park, the group finally arrived to find a crowd, flowers, and a …
Legally Blonde(ish)
Legally Blonde was a very campy musical that had great music and vocals but lacked oomph. Having the musical outdoors felt like a great idea but in execution, it did not work out wonderfully. At the very beginning of the musical, the mics were a little scrambled so hearing what the characters were saying was …
