So one of the nights we went to a letterman show taping. It was pretty cool cuz we had VIP ticket thanks to Jaci.
They taped the whole thing in one hit which kept the 'live' feel. The guest appearances was JLo, Rob Schnider and Paul McCartney's son.
JLo has her own entourage of makeup and hair with her at all times and in the commercial breaks totally came up and 'fixed' her up. She didn't even need any sprucing. The shoes she had on we're amazing also. Thought I'd might just throw that side note in.
So JLo had like a full 15mins of the show or something and Rob Schnider only had about 4mins. Poor Rob. Lol and Paul McCartney's son had only one song. He was so stiff when he was performing as it was his first tv debut so I think he was nervous and didn't know what was going on.
After the letterman taping, we when to a theatre called 'Sleep No More'. I found it from Hugh. As in Hugh Jackman (yes we are best mates).
This was theatre like I've never seen it before. You will either love it or not like it at all. I refrain from using the word 'hate' cuz that's a bit strong.
It's a whole building filled with 100 rooms which you explore yourself and you are amongst the actors themselves. So as you watch the show, you follow the actors around into various corners and rooms of the building. You start at the very top floor and head down level after level.
When you enter, you are greeted with an eerie and mysterious 1930's meet McBeth theme and then issued with a white mask. During the show, you have to keep the mask on at all times so the actors can associate with you as the audience. You must remain anonymous at all times until the end of the show.
I can't disclose too much of it but this is a show in which you have to watch twice. The first time is to really explore the set whilst you watch the actors and the second time is to really focus on the story. Also look out for the nudity.
One tip is to book well in advance, say 4wks, as they are always booked out.
Defo worthwhile going to. Two thumbs up from me. :)
