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.

We seem to have got the most uncomfortable seats in the theatre with very little leg room.
Wife & friend have found two sensible seats, I can sit at an angle. -
Agghh!
I've just been reminded that we're going out this evening - we're off to #Leicester #Curve to see a new musical about the first woman to cycle round the world (Annie Londonderry)
