The Lion King, at the Lyceum Theatre, was a visual delight.The set, the costumes, the music ….. Indian musical theatre has a long way to go before they can come anywhere close to this display!!!And as usual , I was in splits with the dialogues & got the looks here too!!! Ahhhhhh … the English sense of humour too is missing!!! Thank the lord for the kids( school outings!!) who made up for 50% of the audience , who had a blast , warna mera kya hota!!! The play is a , must see for the kids !!!
Before the play, had a turkish Beer(very mild) & house Wine, at a fascinating Turkish restaurant & bar , Papageno (2 mins from the theatre). Décor complete Mediterranean, something like our Indian version of Chor Bizarre!!!
Wild goose Chase (or shud I say, Wild Bar Chase!!! ) with Ankit( Shaun’s friend from Univ) to Hanover Square ( reminded me of Horniman Circle) to check out the open air Martini bar , which after a trek of 20mins of hunting for the place, turned out, was a weekend affair by Martini on the Square garden.
We did make up for this by knocking back cocktails at The Loop (one of the bylanes near oxford circus!!), during their happy hours. Was taken aback, when we got out of there at 8.30 pm, to still see daylight. So took off to the South Bank area, for a drink at one of the pubs near Royal Festival Hall, overlooking the Thames where another friend of Shaun’s, Nemanja, met us!!!
All in all, a very interesting evening!!
Hightlight was definitely Soho Square!!!! ;-)
