Basic Info

What a fine Tuesday evening.

Here's a little bit of information about my two selected events.  Pretty basic, but always handy!

Their iconic name with the 'Mercury pose' embedded
We Will Rock You is a musical production performed in the Dominion Theatre in Tottenham Court Road. It's directed by Ben Elton (responsible for comical greats such as Blackadder and The Young Ones) and has been running for an impressive 11 years. I must admit, reading the plot made me laugh. In a nutshell, the future generations listen, watch and dress the same things.  Until a small rebel force tries to restore society to it's former self, also called 'the Rhapsody'; a time where young hopefuls would make their own music, with the joy of touring and meritocracy.  How great is that!?  Pretty much a play of our modern society. I'm thinking Ben has the same vision as many of us...


Now then, the 2012 London Olympics! England has been loving the excitement so far, and regardless of the media's attempts of scaring the country, there have been no terrorist attacks. We'll send Al-Qaeda a 'thank you' note any day now.    The Olympics opened on the 27th July, with Danny Boyle's sensational creation (seriously, if you didn't see it, you missed out!) of England starting as an agricultural insignificance, rising to a revolutionary state of wealth and independence. Dating back until Greek times, the Olympics is a series of sporting events, in which countries all over the world are represented and compete. From Air rifles to horse riding, all considered sports are played. The main stadium, known as the Olympic stadium, is the main arena of the running, sprinting and other popular events, and was built for the occasion. The cost of the Olympics has reached nearly £9 billion. Who needs recession and debt when you have 3 weeks of sport!?

Here's their sites,  have a little look around!
