We (my friend and I) began the day by going to the Les Miserables exhibition at the State Library, which was really interesting. We learnt about the history of Victor Hugo, and the events that compelled him to write Les Mis. They also had the actual book he wrote it in there, which was incredible to see, and officially the biggest book I have ever seen!
After we had finished looking around the exhibition we headed over the The Windsor Hotel for a high tea lunch. Expectations were high and we weren't disappointed! We were treated to a feast of finger sandwiches, scones, fresh pastries, tea, and so much chocolate and dessert food. We were even given champagne, but neither of us had much of a taste for it.
Overall, the show was amazing! After five years of waiting to see it (I refused to watch the anniversaries or the movie until I had seen the stage show live) I cannot say I was disappointed. As your typical theatre kids my friend and I had a big discussion on the train about it on the way home - there were some things we didn't like so much, but some things we loved (but I think this is just what happens no matter what play/musical you see).
I had a wonderful day yesterday and I already want to go and do it all again!
