Phreshly Squeezed

Given that I had a six week vacation from school, it would be a shame if I hadn’t done any traveling. After spending my week in Scotland and in the Canary Islands, I jetted off to London, England to spend my remaining week of vacation there.

In addition to doing the tourist activities, such as seeing Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Tower Bridge, I also had the chance to attend the London premiere of a musical, Spring Awakening at the Lyric Theatre. Given that the musical’s preview performances were completely sold out, it was pure luck that we were able to get tickets to a showing (honestly, our friend just walked up to the cash and asked if there were any tickets that were not sold, and to our astonishment, there were tickets for our group of four for that night’s show).

My friend, who happens to be a die-hard Spring Awakening friend urged me to take a picture of some fellow that was sitting about two rows ahead of us. It turns out that she had good reason for asking me to take a picture, because it turned out to be Broadway star, Jonathan Groff, who played Melchior in the original Spring Awakening. During intermission, she was able to meet him and snap a picture!
