It was such a swanky hotel with doormen that made us feel real posh! After checking in to our room, that I really liked as it had a view out the front including of the Union Jack on the front of the building, we went down to the restaurant for the buffet roast - could anything be any more perfect for me!!! I was able to get as many roast potatoes as I liked! The only funny thing was that although they let you serve yourself the waiters insisted on carrying your plate back to your table while you followed - slightly embarrassing as my second and third plates had a rather unusual selection of food! We had good fun beryling about the other guests in the restaurant!
We then headed over to the Savoy Theatre. I was excited to go here as I had not been before and was interested how it worked with the Hotel. Having just wikipedia'ed have found that the theatre came first and was the first public building lit entirely by electricity - interesting! It was funny that we sort of went in at the side off the road and we were on the top tier, but that was street level! So the stage was a long way underground!
We were there to see a production of Cabaret which had only just opened. I had not seen it before but have got the dvd. It is certainly an odd show - very dark most of the time, both literally and storyline! But it has lots of great songs that we came away singing! Will Young was playing the emcee and did it really well - lots of creepy make-up!
Thank you John for a great birthday!
