So, incase you missed it, yes I did say Hamlet, and furthermore yes I did saw Jude Law!! We woke up to a stormy morning perfect for beating to crowds to queue for tickets. Ok if your lost hold on... Jude Law (aka hottest man I've ever seen) is playing the role of Hamlet in the west end production of it this summer. So obviously the tickets sold out immediately, but the theater people who are so smart and cunning set aside 33ish tickets for sale on the day of the show, for each showing. So for those brave and dedicated souls who so choose, you can queue (line up and wait) for those 33ish tickets on the morning of the show.
Alright so back to Jude, Callie and I woke up Sunday morning entirely too early, put on our game face and headed to the theater. When we got there (around 745ish) there were already some people there but we were definitely getting a ticket. So we had to wait until the box office opened (11am) to get our tickets, we didn't know were they would be or how good or bad the would be.
11 am rolled around and we were the 3rd group to buy tickets...when the lady told us what seats they had available in twos (Callie and I) I died. We were middle left 5 ROWS BACK!!!
This is the view from our seats! However unfortunately the camera nazis where out in full force so I didn't get a picture of Jude. The play it self was amazing, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, aside from the fact that Jude Law was 10 feet in front of me! So after the play we tried to go wait and get an autograph/picture but Jude had to go to a memorial service for a friend, so we didn't see him, but there is a good chance that we will just happen to be in the area around the same time another show lets out and snag one then! Oh and don't worry I bought a program for him to sign!
In other celebrity new from London, B-Spears has had her series of concerts in town and has been spotted out, Lindsay Lohan and her on again off again girl friend have been here and Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted taking a jog outside of the CAPA offices! How crazy is that?!?
Last night I had my black tie event for my internship, which the former president of Zambia, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, spoke. It was very cool, and I actually got to shake his hand! There were also some members of Parliament there, I got to speak with Geoffrey Clifton Brown who is an MP (Member of Parliament) and sat with some very interesting people who knew all sorts of behind the scenes drama about the Royal family! But I was sworn to secrecy, sorry!
Starting tonight and lasting until Thursday night there is going to be a tube strike so wish me luck as I venture out on the bus system!
