We attended the musical BILLY ELLIOTT here tonight @ Victoria Theatre in the heart of London. After a brisk ride in a taxi to the theatre (he took turns and curves like I've never seen before) we arrived a little early and walked around a bit. The picture of us in front of the sign is just before we went in to the theatre.The musical follows the film version by the same name. Very interesting and wonderful, wonderful music (by Elton John). We really enjoyed it and the theatre is very different here in UK than in US. During the performance we heard several people talking to the characters on stage --like they were wanting to interact with them. This was very interesting. Then at intermission they sold ice cream and cold drinks just like the movies back home. Not usually seen in the US theatre scene.
All in all a wonderful way to end our very first day in London.
On tap tomorrow is the changing of the guard @ Buckingham Palace, a tour of Kensington Palace with a Diana Exhibit and Sherlock Holmes museum.
Thanks for reading

Jim,
Hope you are having a wonderful time. Joel did an excellent job yesterday and everything went well. Pam Rhodes and I did not care for the baked beans at breakfast. The tombs in the churches freaked me out also. Pam and I also went to the top of St. Paul's cathedral. Bunches of steps. Debbie
