Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Never thought we would say this but last night the musical that we always rated the most was toppled from it's perch. Yes you guessed it from the rather large shoe above, Priscilla now tops our poll.

The whole show from start to finish was one of the most professional we have ever seen, Jason Donovan excluded.......lets face it 20 years ago maybe but now....errumm!!!

To be fair he actually was not too bad, and perfect for the more mature role of Tick. We heard recently that he turned down the original role of Felicia many years ago. Good job too 'cos Guy Pearce was perfect for that role back then.

But the real star of the show was Oliver Thornton as Adam (Felicia)...he can sing, dance, look fabulous and really seemed to be enjoying his role as the spoilt brat of the show.....
For those of you that don't know the story or the film I am not gonna spoil it for you now......just go and see it...you'll have a blast

Most memorable moment....the paintbrush costumes.....we always wondered how they would paint the bus on stage and that was done to perfection

Moment we could have lived without....has to be JD's singing....get some lessons!!!!!

Line of the show, during a discussion about the relative merits of Kylie when she was in neighbours the character of Tick, played by JD, was heard to call out that he always fancied Scott....hahahaha

Anyway enough for today, next time you hear from us should be live and direct from Dimaland

M+D

Oh that Monday feeling......but today is okay as neither of us are at work and the official countdown begins NOW!!!!

Only a few more days to go and then it's of to Dimaland...it's kind of hard to stop getting too excited and focus on anything else. What a turnaround from last year. We left the arena in Belgrade vowing that we would NOT be going to Russia next year. 

Within a month that had all changed and we decided that we would just go for the final. 

Within a month that had all changed and we decided that we would just go for the second week.

Within a month that had all changed and we decided that we would go for the whole thing....again...we must be bonkers but now that it is finally nearly 

upon us we can't wait.

Just one last thing to do before we go now and that is taking Mike's parents to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert tomorrow evening. Looking forward to this very much and NO we are not going in drag.......shocking

Anyway peeps the next time we post will either be on Thursday when we are still at home bored or Friday when we arrive in Moscow. Hope the internet connection in the apartment works!!!!!

M+D

1 Week to go

Ha Ha Ha

So we finally relented and made our own little blog spot on the net. With one week to go until we leave good old Blighty and head to Dimaland for the duration of this year's Eurovision madness, we probably left it a bit late....oh well maybe there will be more to read over the next few weeks. You'll just have to pop back once in a while to check us out.

So the plan over the next few weeks is really just to share our thoughts about what goes on during ESC week (actually more like 2 and half weeks now). We can't say that what we write will be interesting or even relevant but we hope that you'll be entertained and feel free to pass comment on anything you like.....so long as it's clean and not too harsh.

That's all for now and expect more next week, but in the mean time here's a few snaps from last weekend's UK preview do in London

Oh and by the way we reserve the right to not post anything at all when we are lying in our beds 'cos we drank too much the night before......
