Shows we saw while in London

The musical performance "Book of Mormon" was no less than spectacular!  The Book of Mormon is a religious satire with book, lyrics and music by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone - best known for creating the animated comedy "South Park". 





Our seats, the costumes, and the performance of Wicked" --fabulous!    "Wicked" is a musical with music and lyrics written by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. It is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West", a parallel novel of the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" and L. Frank Baum's classic story, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". It has broken box office records around the world. 



"Once" - this performance was absolutely AMAZING!  This is a powerful musical journey based on the Oscar-winning film. It is an exhilarating love story performed by an extraordinary cast of actor-musicians. 


"Let it Be" -  a musical, great re-enactment of Beatles performances.  The music was all done live with costumes and set props that brought us back to the late 60s. Wow! What a good time as the entire audience danced and waved their arms to the music.
