Pantomime (and Torchwood)
For the past three Christmases, I have travelled to London, Cardiff and Birmingham to see John Barrowman in pantomime. This year, he was in Aladdin at the Birmingham Hippodrome, and I went with my friend Jasmine and my parents.
The overall show was absolutely brilliant! It seemed a lot more professional than other pantomimes that I've seen in the past few years and it seemed to appeal to everybody in the audience. The interaction with the audience added to the great atmosphere and enhanced the show spectacularly :-)
The cast was perfect, with the main characters having thrilling stage-presence, and the dancers were fun to watch and very talented. Personally, I found The Grumbleweeds hilarious, and thought that their comic timing and running jokes were some of the best things about the show.
After it had finished, Jasmine and I went to the stage door (like every year :-) ) to meet the actors. We managed to get the autograph of Graham Walker, who was really nice and very funny, as well as the main star; actor John Barrowman. He was lovely, as usual, and willing to post for countless photos with the eager fans (i include myself in that group!).
Sadly, I can't post any photos because I am writing this at school (in my free lesson), but I will try to get some up when I get home.
Oh, and the new series of Torchwood started on Wednesday (BBC2, 9pm). 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang', the first episode, was incredibly lively and absolutely amazing! My only moan is that I have to wait another 5 days to see the next episode!
I can't really think of anything else to say, so I might as well go! :-)
