Matilda The Musical Review; Maud

Hello everybody! It's Maud.

Long time no see, eh. I am really sorry about the last however
many months it has been that I have been offline but the good news is, I'M BACK!
Anyway, today's post is going to be about Matilda the Musical.

On the 9th of September, I went to see Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre, London.
It was absolutely AMAZING although there were many flashing lights and loud noises.
The actors and actresses were absolutely spectacular. The transitions between each scene was very fluid and the show was quite an even pace all the way through.
The show was around 2 and a half hours including intervals where they sell programmes, snacks and clothes. Although, like in any theatre they were all very expensive so I recommend brining your own food and drink.

I think my favourite scene was 'when I grow up' song.
It was great how everything was set out to be able to transform into different environments.
I would absolutely go back and see it again if I could!
Rate: 9/10 (Only because it was a bit too loud and there were too many flashing lights at some points in the production).

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this review :)
Happy Reading,
Maud!

AN UPDATE 26.9.15

Hello fellow book-lovers,

Due to increasing stress at home and school, Maud has decided to take a break from writing posts. This is most unfortunate but we both decided that it was the best thing to do. I will still be uploading, although I will write three posts a week now:

Monday: review
Wednesday: currently reading
Saturday: book talk/discussion/whatever I'm feeling like

Maud will return to writing posts at some points,  just when she has some more time on her hands. In the mean time, it will mainly be me running the accounts. I hope that everyone is alright with this.

See you on Monday,
Emile x

An Update 27/6/15

Bonjour!

Maud and I apologise for our absence in the past few weeks, now that exams are largely over we will be back on track and posting regularly. We really want to put all we can into the content on this blog so we didn't want to post anything half-hearted. Besides, the summer holidays are coming soon and we'll be posting loads then.

Thank you for your understanding,
Maud and Emile x :)

June TBR + Life Update - Emile 9/6/15

Bonjour!

*Quick Update*
Our apologies about there not being many posts recently from both Maud and I, it's because it is exam season we have piano and dance exams as well as all the end-of-year tests from school. I'm sure you can understand that free time is hard to come by, and we don't want to just half-heartedly write something, we want this blog to contain quality material. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Onto the TBR! I realise that it is already the 9th June, but I was thought that there wasn't any reason why we didn't write monthly TBR's and Wrap Up's so I decided to start now.

June is a very busy month for me, so if I get through 3 books, I'll be proud. Those books are:

1. Throne of Glass ~ Sarah J. Maas
I now own 3 copies of this book (Kindle edition, British paperback and American paperback) and I still haven't gotten around to it. My friend recently brought me back a signed copy from New York with the beautiful American cover so I feel even more obliged to read it. Besides, I haven't heard a bad word said about this author. Here is the amazing cover:

2. The Catcher in the Rye ~ J.D Salinger
I brought this months ago and still haven't gotten around to it. It's about time I did.

3. Red Queen ~ Victoria Aveyard
Again, I brought this months ago and still haven't read it. But I will... sometime.

These choices are pretty flexible so if you find a currently reading post where I am reading something else, don't be shocked because I generally choose the genre of a book I'd like to read depending on my mood.

Au revoir,
Emile :)
