It no secret at all that I am a musical theatre fan, just go back to my post about Wicked from last year, to see how much so. They are something that I adore more than life and something that I spend way to much of my free time thinking (and jamming out to) than I would like to admit.

So when I FINALLY!! got the chance to see Les Mis in Sydney I died on the inside.

This was one of the few musicals that I have always wanted to see live, it's a musical that is in my top 5 favourite shows, even though I hadn't seen it live until this year.

I am such a big fangirl about this musical. I love almost everything thing about it, and constantly have the songs stuck in my head. So when I got tickets to go and see it for my birthday with my beautiful mother and aunt I was over the moon.

Seeing it live on stage lives up to expectation, much better than watching the 25th anniversary and movie version on my computer. Even though I have a total girl crush on Samantha Barks, who was in both of those versions. Seeing it live in front of my own eyes was magical. 

Also the cast that they had were amazing and so very talented. 

It's such a powerful musical and is so glorious to watch.

What is your favourite musical? and have you gotten to see it live?

Defying Gravity with Wicked.

Hey guys,

So anyone that knows me will tell you that I am the biggest fan of musical theatre. I always have been and hope to always be so. Ever since I was a little kid I have been going and seeing musicals, and being way too excited about it, without any shame f course.

So with Wicked being in town at the moment, I jumped at the chance to go and see it again.

Wicked is one of my favourite musicals, I absolutely loved it the first time and was so happy that I got to see it again. It was possibly better than the first time I saw i a few years ago in Sydney.

Even though there has been some changes in cast, since I saw it originally, they still have the fantastic two leads, who I got to see last time. And who I also adore so very much.

The Regent Theatre is absolutely gorgeous, and has some beautiful architecture inside and out. It was the first time I had been inside and its beauty is breath taking.   

I  was so glad to have the chance to go and watch it again, and in the future I will continue to go and see productions of it and my other favourite musicals. I just need to figure out what I will go and see next.

xx Kat.
