London
After a quiet morning we decided to head to Covent Garden. We watched some of the many street performers. They were quite entertaining and a needed distraction. We had a look around the market, and bought some tickets to the matinee of the stage show Jersey Boys. This is the story of Franky Valli and the Four Seasons. Being in the middle of the West End it is just amazing how many stage shows and theatres are in this reasonably small area. We wandered around, along Charing Cross Road and up to Old Compton Street to the Lord Edward Theatre. Time for a bite to eat and then the show.
It was a very slick show, with the actors singing, narrating, moving sets, and playing insturments while telling the story with the hit songs of the group. It was very enjoyable and lived up to what we had been told about it. After one of the songs the audience clapped for so long that the actors looked at each other wondering how long to wait till they went on with the story. At the end a lot of the audience were on their feet dancing to the last number.
A nice light tea at 'Garfunkels' and then home for an early night.
