Hiya everyone, just a quick-y this time as I know I've done many, many
reviews on this show before (please click the venues to see: Manchester,
Oxford, Wimbledon, Southampton and Nottingham). I've just a few points to add
about the amazing show that is Priscilla.
Well, after I'd seen the show in Wimbledon I turned to my mum and said that
for my birthday I just wanted to be as happy as I was at that moment...and so
it was decided that we'd go and see Priscilla as my birthday treat. It just so
happened that the show was in Belfast!!!
So after a lot of planning we jetted off to Belfast. The city itself was
really nice even considering we spent an hour on my birthday walking the wrong
way in the pouring before deciding to get a taxi...this did mean we found a
really nice hairdresser to re-straighten my hair!
So what do I have to say about the actual show? Well, firstly Noel Sullivan
was playing Tick rather than Jason Donovan. When I'd seen Noel in Southampton I
hadn't been too sure and, especially as I'd fallen in love with Jason in the
role the week before in Nottingham, I was a bit disappointed when I realised it
would be Noel. Well, I needn't have been as he was fantastic and had really
grown into the role. I now really don't mind who I see play Tick again, out of
the two, as both are a-maze-ing and play the role uniquely but super-ly as
well.
The other thing I really wanted to say was how beautiful Belfast Grand Opera
House is. I walked into the auditorium and was just stunned by the magnificence
and the ceiling was fantastic. It's such a shame it's so far to travel for me
as it really was one of the most beautiful theatres I've ever been in and I
urge you, if you're ever in Belfast, to see a show there just so you can marvel
at its splendour.
That's all I really need to say as I do know I go on about this show but
there are so many new things to see plus each venue is different...I mean the
evening performance in Belfast was the best and most electric yet!
So all that's left to do is leave you with a few photos of my trip...
