Theatre reviews
Review: Wicked
Where: Apollo Victoria Theatre, London
When: 7.30pm Mondays–Saturdays, 2.30pm matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays
How long: Two hours 50 minutes with a 20 minute interval
How much: £15-£60 (concessions available)
Tickets from: 0844 826 8400 or www.ticketmaster.co.uk
Okay, I’ll admit that musicals aren’t really my thing. But when you get given a "dinner and theatre" Red Letter Day by a nice person, there’s not much to choose from except musicals: Wicked seemed the best option by far.
I’m glad I went though, since despite the "tourist trap" rep and obvious singing and dancing, it’s quite a fun evening out.
Sitting Tennant
Today’s Sitting Tennant: Top Gear
Today’s Sitting Tennant is from Top Gear. Or from that episode of Doctor Who where he was attacked by a gold velvet suit.
Amusing captions, please.
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery in due course.
