Recently it was my friends birthday and a group of us decided to head off to London to see Grease The Musical.

We went straight from work on the Friday evening. We stayed at The Chorus Hotel near Kensington Gardens. It was a nice hotel, just down the road from Oxford Street which was a great excuse for some retail therapy. So we got up nice and early Saturday morning and headed to the shops about 9am. Primark was our first stop naturally and after that I think we went into every store on the street. We went to Hamleys the toy shop, which I absolutely loved!! They had everything and I especially loved all the cuddly bears! After about 8 hours of shopping we were sooooooo tired and hungry so we quickly grabbed a pizza from Pizza Hut. We couldn't face the walk back to the Hotel so jumped in a taxi, which I might add, we didn't have to pay for!! I think the taxi driver felt sorry for us as he could see we had a hard day shopping :-)

It was then time to get ready for our night at the theatre. We got there around 7pm and the show was fantastic. Ray Quinn ( the runner up to Leonna Lewis Xfactor) played Danny and he was really really good. He had the mannerism and swagger spot on and his voice was brilliant. The rest of the cast were great too, Sandy and the Pink Ladies were such good fun. If you love the film you would really love this. You just want to get up and dance. I didn't stop smiling from the minute the show started.

On the Sunday we went for a wander around Kensington Gardens, which was really beautiful and peaceful. There was an art exhibition being held there on that day which was a real bonus.

Hopefully before Christmas I will be going to see Phantom of the Opera and I really cant wait!
