Queues and blues
Sitting on the pavement was never going to be comfortable, firstly it is way too early and bright, secondly the old lady next to me looks way too smug with her stool and newspaper. All I had to my name was a pair of sunglasses and an Ipod, why didn't I bring a cushion? At least I know I'm in the right place glancing up at the billboard next to the theatre, after missing the tube and navigating the nightmare that is London bus system I barely made it to join the queue which is looking way too long already.
'Excuse me is this where we queue for tickets for Hamlet?'
O dear lord an American where's my morning Starbucks so do not have the energy for this? And rabid looking as well, I glanced at her shirt Loki Laufeyson glimmered at me in giant glittering green letters …see what I did there? Now evidently wasn't the time for wordplay as the woman was starting to look at me like I'd bought a ticket and boarded the crazy train. Which could be for two possible reasons Reason A the fact that I'm still wearing pajamas at 9:00am outside a west end theatre, or reason B the fact that my hairbrush was on semi-permanent hiatus from my hair, I'll leave that question up in the air.
'Yeah this is where you queue the box office opens in another hour' I said massaging my temples.
'Oh my ovaries!' She swooned
'Wait what?" I look behind me sharply
Oh right she's just staring at the eye candy in poster who wouldn't? It's showing Loki hot new British talent in all his glorious intensity, clutching a skull looking every inch the troubled prince, haunted look in his jade colored eyes, aristocratic cheekbones and slicked black hair. But I digress the reviews for this thing were mad already Telegraph calling his performance 'An enigmatic and haunting a tour de force', The Times calling it 'the most raw and powerful Hamlet we have seen since Lawrence Olivier's time'
All in all, hot shizzle which is why the tickets sold out faster than Justin Bieber Madison square garden concert, so here I find myself queuing for tickets to see if this show really is the shizzle cause a girl's got to see for herself, living in central London means I never miss a show anyway even if I have to queue. They release a limited number of day tickets each day for the show so fingers crossed.
I can see it now Loki catching my eye across the theatre due to my ridiculously glossy hair and speaking the verse straight through me from across the theatre in that rich velvety British, having eye sex with me right then and there I imagine our children will all sound equally intelligent and brilliant all brains from his side of the family most likely, the way my University finals panned out. Ok...Who am I kidding here... my life's not a fanfiction wouldn't mind some Mary Sue hair sometimes though… he probably won't be able to see me though all the green glittering smog this woman's shirt was going to cause if she sits anywhere near me gesturing way she is.. Whoa Glitter queen has been speaking the whole time.
'Are you in Loki's Army?" She whispers conspiratorially.
Two girls further down the queue suddenly gained glints in their eyes, hey maybe this was the crazy train. Either way Summer vacation in London sure is looking up.
Good, Bad..Ugly? Should I continue...? Let me know.
