Back home from Mamma Mia.
Not too painful.
Slightly enjoyable in parts.
Numb bum.

The audience here at #leicester Curve Theatre is 80% female as you might expect.
The females are of all ages, but the men are all older.
Why are there so many children (girls) here? It's not a family story, and the songs are all old by now. It doesn't make sense to me!

I rarely get enthusiastic about the shows that I go to - they are chosen by my wife and I go along.
But tonight was one of the best shows I've been to in a very long time.

It was 'Inside American Pie' by a small group of musicians and storytellers from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
This was at Curve in Leicester.

This was a musical documentary about the meanings & histories of & around the Don McLean song American Pie.

There were words, of course, but some fabulous retakes of songs from the era that the song references.
If particular note were a re-imagining of the worst Lennon song ever - 'Imagine' which actually gave it some soul & an amazing rendition evoking Janis Joplin.
I was blown away how they segue'd Sympathy For The Devil into Gimme Shelter.

If this is small town Canadian music - give me more!

If you're anywhere near Leicester and tickets are available, just go.
