London: Theatre & Covent Garden
Scott & Krista's European Vacation: June 2003

No trip to London would be complete without going to the theater. We went to see My Fair Lady at the Royal Theatre on Drury Lane. The show was great, very entertaining, and more than made up for how stiflingly uncomfortably warm it was inside the theatre in June.

While there, we walked over to the Market at Covent Garden to eat dinner, watch street performers, shop and people watch.

The next evening we went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat playing at the New London Theatre. It was a great show and a lot of fun, performed well by the London cast. It had finale after encore after encore at the end. We kept thinking it was over, and then, here would come another round of song medleys with all the cast. We didn't complain; it was lots of fun.
