Mariann and I decided our motto for the trip would be When in London, which goes well with our experiences today. We spent the day visiting typical tourist attractions such as Windsor Castle and the Winston Churchill museum, but tonight we decided to visit the Piccadilly Circus and find discount tickets to a musical. While we love Wicked and The Lion King, we were feeling a little more adventurous and cheap. So we chose a play called La Cage Aux Folles (I still cannot pronounce it correctly), where we heard a brief description from the ticket salesman and decided to give it a try.
We loved the play, but it was quite an experience. The star of the play was Zaza, a drag queen. Zaza and her (or his) boyfriend owned a transvestite playhouse. When their son became engaged to a girl with conservative parents, Zaza pretended to be a woman. It was hysterical, and the music and dancing was incredible. The drag queens in the play danced better any woman I have ever seen. By the end of the play, the entire audience was clapping and swaying along with the audience. It was a blast.
One of our speakers shared this quote from us, which I am finding to be true… "When a man is tired of London he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." Samuel Johnson
