It's show time


Whenever we’re in London on business Garry and I always try to squeeze in a West End show. This year we were lucky enough to make it to two live events.

The first was Moulin Rouge. We booked our tickets at the last minute after a business dinner was canceled. By chance, we secured seats a dozen rows back from the stage. The preshow tease of gender-bending performers wandering the stage set the scene for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.


Our second live event was ABBA Voyage. I’d booked our tickets months ago to ensure we secured a prime position in the event’s purpose-built theatre. The show was simply extraordinary. We often found ourselves struggling to believe the entire performance was being delivered by CGI-generated avatars. The live band, backup singers, synchronized light show, and photorealistic cinematography were choreographed seamlessly into an authentic immersive concert experience.
