It has become a tradition that upon attaining the ripe old age of 18 that Dad takes the newly minted adult to London for a BIG WEEKEND away!So last weekend it was Jonny`s turn - we took in all the usual sights but in addition saw the Lord of the Rings stage musical at the Drury Lane theatre - being the most expensive musical ever we had high hopes and indeed the stage design and props were magnificent but sometimes the dialogue acting and music were frankly boring. The standout moments were amazing tho - the opening with all the hobbits wandering around the stalls catching fireflies (we were in the middle of the second row!) and the invasion of the auditorium by a band of marauding orcs in the intermission were unforgettable
- Lothlorien and Galadriel and the Ents were fabulously realised and there were standout performances from Merry and Pippin who were brilliant. So despite the curate`s egg - it was still well worth seeing and I would recommend it even if you`ve seen the films to death. It is 3 hours long though!
