Not a good picture I know...will go back and get another one next week or the week after.
The Lord of the rings on stage was amazing...I think it probably helped to know the story by other means because obviously the show was only 3 hours but they got the main points and the stage was totally amazing and singing was incredible...and the effects were awesome! Truly...best stage show I have been too. I swear gollum was not a real man...he was...wow like spiderman for a start the way he climbed down the roots and the way he moved, well peopole just dont get in those positions (ok no rude sniggers here)...oh he did a fantastic within gollum fight too amazing. Oh my word we were so high we were actually level with the big lights on the ceiling 104 steps up....which I think in some ways was good having a birds eye view...
OK this is not a good picture...but you can just about make out the actors on the stage...but it gives an idea of how high we were

oh my word the stage at that place is incredible....so many pieces that go up and down and how they didn't trip up...i mean they were moving all the time....but it didn't stop any of the action...it was great especially during the battles....Oh some of the orcs were wearing those legs things and were bouncing around and at lothlorien in the trees they were all hanging in the air....but Oh my word Shelob the massive spider...oh and the black riders...Oh OH and when Gandalf fights in the caves the effects on that were amazing...with the smoke and lighting....I swear ...oh this is earlier when they were depicting autumn these were projected 3d leaves...and your brain just could not tell that they were not real...incredible....course sometimes they had real stuff falling from the sky...oh oh and a couple of the orcs crept around in the aisles and were scaring the begingers out of people.
Aww it did make me cry when sam and frodo had to part at the end....I hate it when friends part....had to do that myself many times so it really gets to me.
anyway here is a link to see bits of it...
