Hello, Dolly!

Okay, so this isn't about MAKING a musical, but it's ABOUT a musical, and so I felt the best place to write it was on here!

On Wednesday, during the afternoon, the lovely Jenny Lowe (editor, What Investment Magazine) at work called my work phone and said that she had a spare ticket (corporate hospitality from Santander Bank) to see Hello, Dolly! on stage at the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park!!!

I WAS going to go to the cinema, ALONE, but this was by far a much much better offer.

And so I went... and OMG! It was AMAZING.

I was totally loving it! The costumes, the music, the cast, the stage, the evening, then venue... the corporate hospitality... the EVERYTHING!!!

It has only made me MORE determined to get my musical on the stage, but at the same time, it's made me feel even more self-conscious about what I've written... how can it possibly compare to such genius? I feel like I could never produce something that good.

But I'll try nevertheless :)
