still trying to chase down the last few final invoices from various utilities companies,
it seems so strange, here I am or rather the shop trying to pay them money, but at least 2 months after I advised all of them we require a final bill and providing the date we are handing over the keys, still they are reluctant to send it, the real rub, the amount of time spent listening to music before you can actually speak to someone, after I picked Diana up from work, (she was on a early shift today), we had a quick snack for our evening meal, before we were out,
we caught the 354 bus to Bromley and then a short walk to the Churchill Theater,
we were a tad early, the bar had not yet opened,
but eventually it was all systems go,
a orange juice for Diana, a white wine for myself,
a bit blurred but this is one of the theatre goers and his partner dressed for the evenings production,
and here we are, just a few rows back from the stage, 'Cheers!', so what are we going to see? first clue, the gentleman in the flashing coat was wearing a wig, suspenders, fishnet stockings and a red corset, plus quite a bit of makeup, especially red lipstick,
here is the best clue yet to guess what the stage show was we were going to watch,
a video of the introduction, yes we are going to see,

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, stage show, originally it was a campy stage play first shown in the UK in 1973, two years later and the film was shot in the United Kingdom at Bray Studios and on location at an old country estate named Oakley Court, best known for its earlier use by Hammer Film Productions, to say the movie has a cult following is an understatement, the film has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the longest running film in continuous release in history, in other words, there’s never been a moment when The Rocky Horror Show hasn’t been playing in a cinema somewhere in the world in the last 40 years, as an aside if you click onto the link you will notice this one clip has been viewed over 8 million times! and yes we were going to see the stage show,
it was way better than both of us expected, as it happen the gentleman whose coat lit up, and was wearing suspenders, fishnet stockings, a red corset and lipstick and his partner was sat next to us! The banter between the audience and the performers was delicious, the crowd joining in at every opportunity to join the storyline, that is so well known, there were notices displayed, no videos or photographs, but Diana took a short video of the closing number,
we both laughed so much and both of us agreed even though the seats were a tad expensive we would come back to see the show again if it was playing here next year, what a blast! arriving home it was late, the 354 bus was for some reason not running, so the 227 it was with the longer walk home from the bus stop, soon it was feet up for a coffee, a 05.00AM start for Diana tomorrow so she was off to bed, for myself a Bangers & Cash, well two of them before I too was off to bed.
