STOMP!

Early this week, Cat and I hatched a plan to take advantage of the "Kids go free" month at selected West End productions downtown London and booked ourselves to attend the fabulous show STOMP on Thursday night at 8pm. It was kind of a big deal to get the logistics right - we took the 17:37 train from East Grinstead to Victoria, arriving at 18:35. Fortunately the train was pretty empty going into London at this time, so we could make plenty of noise.

Trying to get people to wave back to them at each station we stopped
Then we made our way to the Underground and took 2 different lines to get to Leicester Square station where we had delicious burritos at Chipotle on St. Martin's Lane in the West End.

 The burritos were soooooo good. Perfect. Burritos are all the rage right now in the UK and that is fine with us!
Rhods and I saw STOMP in Las Vegas quite a few years ago (12? 13?) and it is just as great as we remembered. The kids really enjoyed it too, and they were laughing so much at some of the comedic moments. Here is a little sample for the uninitiated...

The show finished at 9:45pm and we made our long journey back to deepest Sussex but super happy about the whole experience and grateful that we were able to make it happen!
