Wow-what a day! We dawdled around Leicester Square for a while before managing to get cheap tickets to see "Wicked" that night. After visting the National Portrait Gallery for a while and lunching at Mr Wu, we wandered over to Covent Garden. We had a great time enjoying the street performers and doing some shopping.
After oing back to our rooms to get ready, we travelled back to Picadilly Circus to the theatre(The Apollo-which was the only theatre on the map we had with the word "Apollo" in it's name-our show was listed as appearing at The Apollo, Victoria).
A few of us lined up for free hugs from a young man handing them out at the Statue of Eros (BTW-he gave good hugs!) and journeyed around the corner to the Theatre-only to realise it was the wrong one!
We asked a number of people where the Apollo Victoria was before one gentleman gave us directions and we jumpd on the bus he indicated! It was now 7-05pm and with the show listed as starting at 7-30pm we were getting pressed for time...so when the bus unexpectedly terminated at a stop well short of where we wanted to go, we got a bit nervous!
The next bus saw us quickly pile on-exiting at Wilton Street as listed on the ticket. Yet another issue-the theatre is in Wilton Road (not Street as listed on ticket!) Off we go again, high heels clicking, the girls trying to maintain modesty whilst holding down the skirts of their dresses! A lovely lady helped us again with directions and we managed to sit down with seconds to spare!
The show was wonderful and all three girls enjoyed their first live performance (a West End show if you don't mind!).
