Still here

June 17th, 2005

London is simply filled with iconic vistas.  This was taken casually as I passed through the Circus, headed from Regent Street to Tottenham Court Road.

Whew, another week has gone by, still at a steady clip, I must say.


Highlights?  On Monday I saw the West End production of Chicago with Brooke Shields starring as Roxie Hart.  That was an *excellent* show.  So fun to watch, so much raw energy, pure physicality and unmistakable heart.  Really makes me want to see the movie again.


And on Thursday night I went to the Royal Albert Hall to see the National Ballet’s opening night production of Romeo and Juliet.  So beautiful, both the gorgeous building (just past a whole slew of breathtaking buildings including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Science Museum and the Imperial College of London), and the dancing itself.  Such a sad story though.  Again, makes me want to re-watch the movie.  (haha)


Taken during the first intermission of Romeo and Juliet.  The building is really stunning – the picture doesn’t do it justice at all to the scale and ornamentation.  And then the exterior facade is something else altogether.
