Despite our best efforts, our plans around here have an irritating way of going awry. Tonight is the night that Laura was to take the two little girls to see Avenue Q at the Noel Coward Theater, a friendly little play featuring a bunch of Muppet type charcters. We bought the tickets for this performance some weeks ago. Yesterday, Scott travelled into Central London to pick them up, only to find the box office unexpectedly closed. Today, he made another trip, only to be told that Ticketmaster hadn't delivered tickets yet for today. With time running short, Laura and the girls, dressed in their theater-going best, headed off to brave the will-call line ahead of showtime. That's when we learned that something was deeply amiss. According to the theater, Ticketmaster has no record of having sold us any tickets. The theater offered to sell tickets at the door but at the same time made it clear that little children weren't going to be welcomed at the theater. At this point, Laura had had enough and returned home. The disappointment of the girls was quickly assuaged with a stop at the Disney store. While we hated missing the show, it was certainly fun to see the girls all dressed up in their finery, especially Meredith in the newly purchased hat which this was her first chance to wear.

No Parking On Avenue Q

Meredith looks so sweet! I am following your blog and am making a large scrapbook of your travels. I hope it will be ready soon after you get back home.

What a classy lady! We'll wear our hats together when you get home. It looks like one of those very expensive ones we saw at the hat shop.
Love,

Well, it's probably a good thing - if it is the same Avenue Q that played in New York City a few years back - yes, there are muppet characters but there is subject matter that little girls may or may not be ready to be exposed to...
