Ok, i'll say this now. Prepare for some serious verbal diarrhoea. Yesterday we went to a Miranda Sings show when in London and I was freaking incredible. This all happened yesterday so i'm still on a complete high from it haha. Enjoy!
Once we'd arrived in Chelsea, there was still three hours until the show started so we had a stroll up and down the Kings Road and grabbed some lunch at Pret. That managed to kill like an hour but to be honest I was too distracted by the idea of the show that afternoon. So we resorted to people watching, and if you're ever going to people watch, Chelsea is the place to do it. The little benches in the Duke of York square provide a prime position for sitting in awe of 99% of the people who walk past. Amazing.
Once it was a less-embarrassingly early time to turn up at the theatre (Cadogan Hall, just off Sloane Street) we made our way there. There was a queue outside which we joined. We didn't know what it was for but you know, it seemed a sensible thing to do you know, join a random queue. Thankfully it was the right one, given away by the fact the queue was scattered with people in waist-high red trousers, buttoned up shirts and crazy lipstick. At first there was a slight sense in the air that people were hesitant to show how truly obsessed they really were (I think being in central Chelsea didn't help haha), but its safe to say any reservations went out the window as soon as we were all inside the building.
T-Shirt bought, VIP wristband collected and everyone's excitement levels through the roof, we were allowed into the auditorium. Our seats were fantastic, second row back and pretty central. It was so funny to see a stool in the middle of the stage with THE red trousers and shirt piled on top, ready for action.
So the lights dimmed and everyone screamed of course, classic concert happenings. Then a video started playing on the huge screen introducing Miranda and explaining how she was a singer, dancer, actor, model, magician etc, followed by a slightly disturbing montage of her saying 'Hey Guys'. Then when the man who was announcing over the speakers tried to welcome Miranda to the stage, but when she claimed to be 'too busy' as she 'had to tinkle', instead came on Colleen Ballinger (who, if you don't know, is actually Miranda Sings).
I am obsessed with Colleen. She is literally the most hilarious person and so so talented, and has worked so hard for her success, which I admire a lot. She came on and sung a couple of songs; I'm not kidding when I say she has the voice of a Disney Princess. I'd love her to do a show as herself one day :)
Her final song she sung as Colleen was Defying Gravity, one of my all time favourites. I'd watched a couple of videos of the show before so I kind of new the drill of what was going to happen half way through. Just search her performance on YouTube and I can guarantee you will shriek with happiness.
The whole Miranda Sings character seems to completely match my sense of humour. Physically, her legendary dances and facial expressions make me cry with laughter, but she's also hilarious with her innuendos, strange ways of talking and undeniable love for herself. I don't think describing it with words will do justice to how hilarious the show actually was. There are plenty of YouTube videos out there though, so have a gander!
After the show we got to meet Colleen (dressed as Miranda) and her sister Rachel. This was amazing as I've loved them both for ages. They were both so genuinely nice.
So that happened. AND THEN, we had literally just left the building and guess who was just stood there talking to a few other girls? Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter! So that was cool. I love her. This completely made sense as when we were waiting to go into the meet and greet, I heard a couple of girls screaming and running up the road, but I just assumed they had seen friends or something. Nope. It was Louise.
