HELLO MUSICAL | WE WILL ROCK YOU

Hello Beautiful Souls, I hope this blog post finds you well, filled with joy and a love for all things musical. Today, I wanted to share an incredible experience I had at the London Coliseum, where I had the pleasure of seeing “We Will Rock You.” And let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! Even in the insanely hot weather, we had last year in June.

Now, I must confess, I had already seen “We Will Rock You” in the Netherlands, but this London version took the show to a whole new level. There was something magical about experiencing it in the heart of London, surrounded by fellow theatre enthusiasts. The energy in the theatre was tangible, and the crowd’s excitement was contagious.

One of the highlights of the London production was the clever incorporation of jokes and references that only those familiar with the city could truly appreciate. Being a resident of London myself, these little nods and witty lines added an extra layer of delight to the performance. It felt like the show was tailor-made for this vibrant city.

But let me tell you about the moment that truly took my breath away. As a fan of Queen, witnessing the iconic statue that once graced the Dominion Theatre make a majestic appearance in the musical was nothing short of epic. It was a true homage to the band and a testament to their enduring legacy. In that instant, I felt a surge of nostalgia and a deep appreciation for the impact Queen’s music has had on the world.

Attending “We Will Rock You” at the London Coliseum was an experience that was undeniably worth it. From the stellar cast to the electrifying performances, every aspect of the show was meticulously crafted to entertain and captivate the audience. The energy, the music, and the sheer talent on display created an unforgettable evening that I will cherish for years to come.

If you find yourself in London or have the opportunity to catch a performance of “We Will Rock You” wherever you are, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Prepare to be transported to the future.

Thank you for joining me on this journey through my experience.
With love and rock ‘n’ roll,

HELLO LONDON | BEYONCE – RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR

Hello Beautiful Souls, I am thrilled to share with you an experience that truly defined the year for me: the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 30th of May 2023. Let me tell you, it was an evening that will forever hold a special place in my heart, amidst a multitude of incredible experiences throughout the year.

Beyoncé, the incomparable performer that she is, graced the stage with an electrifying presence, captivating the audience from the moment she stepped foot on that platform. The sheer talent and energy she exuded throughout her performance left us in awe. With an impressive setlist of 40 songs, Beyoncé showcased her versatility and artistry, taking us on an unforgettable musical journey.

As the concert commenced, I must admit that the sound was initially a bit overwhelming. In hindsight, I regretted not bringing my festival earplugs to protect my ears. However, as the evening progressed, the sound quality improved, allowing us to truly appreciate Beyoncé’s remarkable vocal prowess. It was a privilege to hear her voice resonate throughout the stadium, as she delivered each song with power and emotion.

One of the standout moments of the night was the “Birth of Venus” performance, where Beyoncé emerged from a grand shell, embodying the iconic imagery of the goddess herself. Dressed in stunning sparkling outfits, she looked ethereal, radiating a sense of elegance and beauty. The visual spectacle combined with her extraordinary talent left us in awe, a moment that will forever be etched in our memories.

Speaking of visuals, the stage production was truly next level. From intricate choreography to dazzling light displays, the concert was a feast for the eyes. Beyoncé’s attention to detail and commitment to delivering a visually stunning performance was evident in every aspect of the show. It was a true artistic masterpiece that elevated the entire concert experience.

However, I must address one challenge I encountered during the event – the accessibility of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While it served as a grand venue, it was not well connected, making it quite a task to navigate transportation after the concert. Ordering an Uber was nearly impossible due to road closures and public transportation options were limited. It took me an arduous hour to reach the nearest tube station, as the overground seemed like an impractical choice. Perhaps for future performances, Beyoncé could consider the more easily accessible Wembley Stadium.

Despite this inconvenience, the concert itself was an absolute joy. Beyoncé’s energy, talent, and dedication to her craft shone through, leaving us inspired and in awe of her artistry. It was an evening filled with unforgettable moments that I was delighted to share with my Instagram followers, as I couldn’t help but highlight the sheer brilliance of the performance.

In conclusion, the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour was a true highlight of the year for me. Beyoncé’s commanding stage presence, avant-garde outfits, remarkable vocals, and breathtaking visuals created an immersive experience that will forever hold a special place in my heart. While the transportation logistics proved challenging, the concert itself was an absolute triumph. Thank you, Beyoncé, for an incredible night of music and artistry.

With love and musical magic,

HELLO LONDON | JUST FOR ONE DAY – THE OLD VIC

HELLO LONDON | JUST FOR ONE DAY – THE OLD VIC

Hello Beautiful Souls! Unexpectedly stumbled upon a musical that brought back the magic of Live Aid – the iconic event that took place on the 13th of July 1985. This month has been filled with exciting events, and I couldn’t wait to share one that you can still catch while it’s ongoing.

It all began when a friend invited me to the first musical of 2024, “Just for One Day,” at the Old Vic in Waterloo. To our surprise, it turned out to be the premiere – a fantastic way to kick off the musical season. You have until the 30th of March 2024 to experience this extraordinary journey, so there’s still plenty of time to secure your ticket.

“Just for One Day” is a delightful musical that takes you back to the day when music united everyone. Each cast member boasts beautiful voices, and the soundtrack features timeless hits from Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, The Cars, Status Quo, Sade, The Boomtown Rats, Diana Ross, Ultravox, and more.

The scenes featuring Bob Geldof and Margaret Thatcher are a highlight, leaving the audience with big smiles. The humour is brilliantly done. Beyond the wonderful songs, it was enlightening to learn the backstory of Live Aid. Who knew Bob Geldof was not only a musical force but also a political activist? I must admit; I was unaware of his band, Boomtown Rats.

If you’re a child of the 80s or 90s, this musical will undoubtedly stir up some nostalgic memories. The songs alone transported me back in time. For those from the 2000s, it’s a chance to experience one of the greatest concerts in 1985.

Don’t miss out on this musical journey that celebrates the power of music to bring people together.

Enjoy the musical magic!
