Mamma Mia! The Musical

Went to watch Mamma Mia! The musical on 3 December.  It is a heart warming musical that based songs by ABBA.  Set in a Greek Island called Calicos, a 20 year old girl named Sophie tries to find her dad that she've never met to walk her down the wedding aisle and give her away.  This comes in a dilemma as she discovers that she has 3 potential 'fathers' so she invites all 3 of them to her wedding in hope of finding her real dad between the three.

The musical was adapted into a film in 2006 and was premiered in July 2008.  As of 19 August 2009, it is the 13th longest running Broadway musical of all time with 2,343 performances surpassing famous musicals such as 'The Sound of Music' and 'The King and I'.

Mamma Mia! Is currently on show at the Lyric Theatre Star City.  Tickets could be booked through Ticketek.

Photos that I sneakily took during the performance!

I noticed someone sitting just two rows infront of me and tried to find him during the scene break but failed.  I managed to take a photo of him at the end of the show. Hoho.

It's Geoff Field from 104.1 2Day FM!

He was with his husband Jason Kerr. How sweet :3

Oh! and I just realised that Geoff is following Tony Abbott on Twitter.  Reminded me of a little mishap a while ago when my mum was picking me up from uni at 11pm.  She parked her car at the entrance to the ABC building which is next to my faculty but that was Mr. Abbott's car space! LOLOL.  The security was staring at the car but didn't make a move as it was the same car brand but still thought it was suspicious.  It was not until Mr. Abbott's car arrived and he realised that my mum's car was not his.  Poor Tony had to park elsewhere but my mum drove off 2 minutes later since I arrived.

But yes...I'll try to blog more frequently...

Britney Concert - The Circus

I have pulled this blog out of the grave!!!!!!!!! It has been a longgg time since I've touched this blog because I have been very active on my food blog Sugar's Sweet Blog and it gets quite tiring managing the two.

I am going to fish out some past event and slowly catch up...if ever.

Anyway, went to Britney's Sydney Circus Tour on Tuesday 14 November 2009 with some friends.

Row 3 Section 9!! It's like...wowzers spot

DJ Havana Brown got the party started

After she left, the screen showed this...

WTF....

At first, I thought they were joking but the time went from 25 minutes to 19 minutes second by second...so we walked around to get some churros only to find they are sold out :(

Came back to our seats for some cam whoring time

Lucy and Me

When the show started, the acrobats did some pretty cool stuff

Britney finally came out at like 9:30pm

Ringmaster Britney

I didn't take alot of photos and certainly none of them are good as she was always dancing and the pictures always came out blurry.  Alot of recordings but I couldn't show it here :(

Britney dancing in (and on top) of a cage

Dancing in a frame hung in mid air

Alot of ending photos because that was the only time she didn't move around

Despite what critics and other people say, I think she did a massively impressive job in making this successful. 

The Circus Concert is a 360 degrees stage located in the middle of the arena. During the show, Britney and her dancers prances from one corner to the other for a full on 1.5 hours so I don't know why other people are not impressed with her efforts.

It was a clear fact that she lipped synced except for 'Everytime' because the audio sounded completely different.  Um...let's see YOU sing and dance perfectly at the same time. Give her a break people!
