I swear I don't usually spend my Saturday nights bopping to wonderful theatre plays but sometimes (or thrice this year for me!) you just need an uplifting play to stifle the holiday blues that come with the knowledge that Uni semester starts again on Monday.
So off we went to the Lyric Theatre to watch 'Strictly Ballroom', directed by Baz Luhrmann just as he directed the film (which I have yet to watch - slap on the wrist for me!).
Dinner in the food court - just some sushi so no need to photograph - then followed a generous scoop of mango gelato from the infamous Gelato Messina. Yes, they do fantastical and magical flavour combinations, and although I'd love to try a Milk Chocolate with Choc Peanut Fudge (see more of their decadent and heavenly flavours here) I always end up opting for a fruity scoop.
The show must go on! Off we went to sit in the rather groovy - yes, I did just say groovy! Must be the fluro and sparkles getting to my head - theatre. As the picture below gives you glimpses of, as soon as you enter the theatre you are irrevocably transported into another time! It's wonderful!
^ And no, there is no filter on that - the orange really is that incredibly vibrant!
I won't tell you anymore except to say that having seen three shows this year, I think Strictly Ballroom may have taken the cake! I adored everything about the show - the drama, theatrics, dancing, singing and chemistry along with the flamboyant costuming made for a perfectly 'groovy!' night!
The show ends soon, so buy tickets here
