Last weekend I spent some time with my wonderful friend Kelly in London. We’d been planning a weekend in London and a show for such a long time and finally got round to booking something before Christmas.
I’d heard great things about The Wizard of Oz and was very impressed after seeing a snippet on Children in Need.

We travelled up to London in time for lunch, and despite some tube closures (surprise, surprise!), we headed over to Oxford Circus and enjoyed lunch at Pret a Manger. I love how I can always rely on Pret a Manger for good quality food and at reasonable prices, even in central London. The staff were amazing and friendly too, which definitely helps!
The Wizard of Oz is playing at the London Palladium, a theatre I’ve never been to before. Compared to other theatres I’ve been to the inside was pretty small, but we had absolutely fantastic seats in the stalls, row E!
We decided to go to the matinee show so that we could go for dinner afterwards and it wouldn’t be too late. I thoroughly enjoyed the show from start to finish and couldn’t fault anything. The cast were fantastic, I particularly liked the tin man! And the set was phenomenal, so clever, and I loved the way that the Wicked Witch of the West moved around the whole theatre.
After the show we wondered around the shops for a while and then decided to head home for a delicious Chinese meal! A lovely weekend with a lovely friend!
