... to Gandalf - or something like that. (I know, Maxine. Your heart belongs to Aragorn!) Anyway, Tolkien the musical heads for London. (Hat tip, Vikram Johri.)
Oh no, this was one I was trying to keep to myself! Tickets are on sale soon, but the Times has a priority booking offer due on Monday, so I am eagerly awaiting it, cheque book at the ready, to purchase mine at 6 am! I am sure a zillion other people are too so I did not plan to mention this until I had the tickets in my hot little hand ;-)
(I guess you know that the musical was due to premiere in London? The only theatre that is suitable is the one currently staging "We will rock you", a tribute to the band Queen. Everyone thought it would fold in a few weeks, no problem, as it is apparently so dreadful. No such luck, it has kept playing to the coach parties for ages, so the LOTR musical had to open in Canada instead. Oh well, maybe they have ironed out a few things by now....
