meteordustOMIGOD YOU GUYS.
I've been wanting to see this musical for over a year. I've had my tickets for six months. And finally, tonight, at the Lyric Theatre, I got to see it.
After all the great reviews, after all the anticipation, my expectations were way high.
AND IT TOTALLY MET THEM ALL.
You know that feeling you get, when you crack open a book or settle down to a movie, and from that very first moment, you know you're in good hands, and you can just relax into the ride? And you're enjoying every moment, and you don't want it to end?
Yeah.
From the very first song, I was hooked. So much energy and fun, and clever lyrics attached to catchy tunes, backed by a really compelling character story. An emotional journey, with ups and downs, with humour and drama and *heart*. This. This is what a good musical is about.
I've never watched the movie, but I'm going to now.
I bought the original London cast recording, and will be playing the hell out of it. There so needs to be an Australian cast recording too, because Lucy Durack! And Rob Mills! And all the other brilliant performers!
It's the best musical I've seen this year. If you're in Sydney - or anywhere else it's playing - I totally recommend it.
