De Tre Musketörerna

I'mma do my Day 8 later today, because I started and then just realized that there is no way I can decide that right now. Instead I'm going to tell you about my fabolous evening last night.

Me, my sister and my mom went to see The Musketeers rock musical thingy. The premiere is next week so we got to see their second performance infront of any audience yay. We sat in the back of the theater right next to the sound/light table and right behind me sat the director of the play and the musical director aswell.

If you don't know the musical, it's basicly The Three Musketeers but instead of "One for all, and all for one" they say "One for all and all for sex and drugs and rock'n'roll". They sing all kind of great older songs from the eighties and nineties. It's was kind of a blast from the past, cause I used to listen all those bands. The walls were covered with Ramones/Clash/Pistols/Misfits posters and shirts. Though I still love that kind of music as well, I have to say I'm more for the pop nowadays. Or at least I was in my pop mode yesterday, so I didn't really feel the rock thing at first.

The best part of the play was the music though, the actors sang so freaking well. And the songs were so fun, they had Pistols, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, even Britney and Backstreet Boys. The best song for me of course was when they had the Duke of Buckinham dressed in a Pistols kind a way. The first thing I thought of him was "fuck yea, Sid Vicious raised from the dead." That's wasn't the case though but when he started to sing "God Save The Queen" I just laughed my ass off.

Although it was funny show, there were some flaws too. Like they said "fuck you / fuck this /fuck me / fuck life / fuck fucking fuck etc" all the time. Okay I take that rather than the finnish curse words like "vittu" but still, it started to annoy a lot at some point. Then there were the endless gay jokes, that I just can't seem to find funny, cause I just rather hear more "fuckfuckfuck" then all the gay jokes. And you could feel the traslated script from the play at least I could, cause I kept thinking "if this wasn't finnish I'd love this" but that's just me.

Still I would recommend the play for everyone, well if you are over 15 years old maybe. YEAH that was one of the problems too, it definetly wasn't a show for kids but there were a lot of kids under 10 or something. It's the parent fault though.

I felt so bad for the director during the show, cause I heard him cursing behind me and ripping his hair off and crying his eyes out. Okay I might be exaggerating a tad, but still he had tears in his eyes. So did the musical director as well. I don't know if they messed up something, or what.

 The audience didn't seem to like it that much, I don't know why. Maybe cause it was a lot longer than promised. Some people just didn't like it at all, cause they left in the middle of the show. Once the show ended people jsut ran away from the theater and I kind of felt bad, because in the end I really did like the play.

But yeah, if you got interested go see it!
