Ohhhhhh my gosh. MUSIC CORE! I was so excited! Last year I had the opportunity to attend as Media to KBS Music Bank, which was AWESOME live. I was really interested to see how they compare! So off we headed to Digital Media City where most of the channels are located. The area is pretty cool- with all …
The next day after Tour Day was the Saturday morning, and Hol and I woke up refreshed, excited and decided (rhyme!) we’d best spend the Lotte KOREA PASS that we’d also been given as part of the trip! The KOREA PASS is quite a useful little card- aimed for foreigners who don’t want to be …
Here’s another interview I did for the New Theatre production of Sweeney Todd, this time with the director Giles Gartrell-Mills. This was a pretty exciting as Giles has actually worked on London’s West End for most of his career, as both cast and crew, so it was interesting to hear his thoughts on the different theatre-circuits. The interview was originally posted on Arts …
This was so much better than I expected to be. The reason? It knew exactly what people expected it be, took that on board and didn’t take itself seriously. Fun and toe-curlingly cringey (in all the right places). Originally posted on The AU Review. — There is often a great risk in taking a well-loved …
I could hardly believe how much we had gotten through in just one day! Hanbok, tea ceremonies, traditional games-playing, many delicious lunch dishes, janggu classes, incredible Hanjeongsik dinners… And now it was nearing the end. My feelings were becoming very mixed by that point! I really wanted to watch the musical (of course), but I truly was …
SWING YOUR RAZOR HIGH SWEENEY RAISE IT TO THE SKY! Justin Cotta was glorious. Utterly disturbing of course, as Sweeney should be, but glorious. Definitely one of my longest reviews! Originally posted on The AU Review — Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! The theatre is dark, the first harsh notes of the “Organ Prelude” …
When I was asked by the KTO what we would like to have for dinner as they were planning our tour, my mind was again captured once again by scenes from Kdrama. You know those scenes where the family gathers for meal times and the table is set with seemingly endless delicious looking dishes? Of course …
This was SO much more impressive and beautiful than I anticipated it to be. The precision of the dancing/martial arts was spectacular, and I actually learnt quite a bit about Confucius! I’m hopefully going to something quite similar this week- The Imperial Bells of China. Originally posted on The AU Review — Often referred to …
Look, this certainly wasn’t the greatest thing I’ve ever seen, but the kids in the audience were loving it (even more so the kids actually in the production). I probably would have really enjoyed something like this as a child too so continue on amateur theatre! Originally posted on The AU Review — The Lion, …
This guy is so COOL! Nicest ever fellow, and just the most incredible facial expressions on stage. He was hauntingly good as Sweeney Todd, and I saw him more recently as Lord Capulet in Bell Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. THOSE EYES! Also one of my most favourite responses ever to an interview question I’ve asked …
