Et in Arcadia ego, literally. @arcadiawestend Ta Et in Arcadia ego, literally.

@arcadiawestend

Talking of which, what a lot of clever ideas and treaties by Tom Stoppard, I feel I've been entertained and educated - ranging from the Red Book of the play's Culpability Brown, Fermat's Last Theorem and iterated algorithms et al (yes, I had to look them up!)

It's a rather brilliant play and fantastic weaving of time and ideas.

Feel rather smug having enjoyed this.

A spectacle of stagecraft and storytelling - @tellyleung as Ryuk is something to behold. 

The book, music @frank.wildhorn singing @xander-pang @shtephie, choreo, costumes, wham, THE SET (!) @jonbausor has winner written all over it.

Beetle Juice the musical! A hash of a show - car Beetle Juice the musical! 

A hash of a show - cartoonish panto and not enough heart. 

Standout Hannah Nordberg (@hannahnordberg) carries the emotional heft as Lydia Deetz but at times she and Beetlejuice, David Fynn, are in competing and occasionally overlapping narratives. 

A pastiche of modern musicals, the hell scene is more memorable in Book of Mormon. Brad and Janet, erm sorry Adam and Barbara, a bit more engaging in Rocky Horror Show and it takes them far too long to Ready, Set, Go. Father is a bit miscast but the step-mother Delia (@summerstrallen) is deliciously comic. The cast do well with what they are given - but it's all a bit much and manic. 

The Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) and Jump in the Line are still the only memorable songs -  although Dead Mom could have some life. 

Spectacular scenography, vx effects, animatronics - the pig needs an award - lighting, costumes, choreo etc. but... ultimately DOA. 

Mama, I'm Going Home...

KOKO - originally a grand Victorian theatre, now l KOKO - originally a grand Victorian theatre, now live music venue, nightclub and ultra-exclusive private members' club is celebrating its 125th anniversary. 

From the top (yes, there's a bar in the copper dome) to secret late-night vinyl listening rooms, opulent crimson and gold interiors and 1,500 capacity state-of-the-art auditorium - host of music royalty such as Madonna at her debut in 1983, Prince's guerilla gigs and, of course, local Camden girl, Amy Winehouse - it's an outstanding icon of music, nightlife and style (much like @karriegoldberg our host there!).

Wow what a summer to be in London - hot, hot, hot! Lucky we cooled down with drinks and great pasta on the Roof Terrace  at @thehouseofkoko

No photos to post - but it has some of the best contemporary art I've seen in a private members' club. The spaces, including a speakeasy jazz lounge, bars - 14 of them - and eating places are stylishly endless!

Yes, wow!

Adorable Allegra - here's to a world more like All Adorable Allegra - here's to a world more like Allegra - joy and song! 

Such a feel good play, zinging comic lines, sing-a-long and characters you care for.

So glad we caught this play at the end of its run in London... I'm sure it won't be the last you'll hear of Allegra!
