Hi guys,
sorry for the time without posting, but I had to wait to get all picture and
video from friends that were at West End Live 2015 with me!
In this
post, like you can understand form the title, I’ll talk about the West End
Live.
The West
End Live is an event that take place every year in which you can see
performance from every musical of the West End London!
This is the
main website where you can find more information about it:
But, if you
want to have a point of view from someone who have lived it, go on reading this
post.
Well, the
West End Live take place every year in Trafalgar Square London. People usually
queue quite a lot before the beginning of the show, because the square will be
crowded. This year the West End Live took place the 20th and the 21st
of June.
This is the
schedule of that 2 amazing days.

Like you
can see, there are really big name on it, but, all shows that I saw (I haven’t
seen all the shows) were amazing.
My routine
for that 2 days was always the same…wake up at 6.30 am (oh was really f*cking
hard wake me up so early during the weekend) was worth!
I saw a lot
of performance, of course like you know I am quite addicted with Billy Elliot
The Musical, but I really Enjoy even seeing Wicked, Les Miserables, The Phantom
of Opera or Matilda The Musical!
Every
performance was great and fantastic, all the event was free, there were a lot
of families with children and a lot of young people, all odd about musical and
theatre. The most amazing stuff about it was that you can really enjoy all day
and watch performance that let you decide if you want to go and see the musical
or not. The only problem is that now I want to go to see thousand of musical…and
it will be quite expensive watch all the musical….but I will…it will take a
little bit of time. LOL
One very
interesting and good thing about all those performance was that every ingle
actor/singer that performed on that stage did it for free, they weren’t paid at
all.
All the
event was sponsored by MasterCard, and during the event you could twitt picture
or text using the hashtag #WestEndLive an the presenter sometime read out some
twitt.
Saturday
was a really good day, the morning was really cool, I met there waiting the
beginning of the show, we speak a little bit, some of the video of Saturday are
from the amazing girl (Twitter @Alisa_Pirazzini or instagram alisa_pirazzini ).
So I have to say thank you even to her if I could take more picture with a good
camera while she was taking video of almost all shows. J
Now guys
let’s start times by time with each musical, giving a few picture of Saturday in
which you can see something about the performance.
Basically all the pictures that my friends and I took that day are in this album on my facebook page:
Now, here I will put video that you can see on youtube on my channel about that days
This is the video of Bradley Perret as Billy in Billy Elliot The Musical performing Electricity as street version, not the ballet one, a lot of talent in a little boy!
Enjoy:
This is the video, divided in 3 part from the musical Thriller Live, talented guys, amazing voices, and the are really similar as Michael Jackson!!! Even if I could spot some small error during side moonwalk, but maybe was due to the stage that could it be not the right onw to slide.
So yeah, both o this performance are from the 21st of June, Sunday.
All talented and amazing, I am still uploading videos that my friends take on youtube.
So check my channel, for more videos!!!
Here some picture about the
