Naked Boys Sing!

One of my biggest passions in life is the theatre. Luckily, seeing as I live so close to the London, I'm fortunate to see shows quite regularly. A few weeks ago it was one of my friends Rachel's birthday so along with another friend, Fay, we bought her tickets to see Naked Boys Sing. NBS is a 60 minute show currently being shown in the Charring Cross Theatre.
We started our night in the Princess of Wales pub along the road from Embankment Station, a small establishment playing indie music. In here we had a few glasses of wine before going across the road to the theatre.

All three of us were feeling a tad nervous seeing as we had never seen anything of this nature before. As the suspense built, the show started quarter of an hour later than scheduled, I wondered whether the actors would come our naked or whether there would be some cheesy strip tease.

Suddenly out of nowhere, the actors appeared down the aisles of the theatre and began singing fully clothed. As the show progressed the actors stripped down until eventually they were completely naked. Throughout the show, the audience were in fits of laughter at the comedic songs and the sight of 8 men on stage with their willies wiggling as they danced.

I was totally impressed with the talent of the men, performing in a theatre without microphones whilst having to compete against the sound of trains travelling overhead. Would I see the show again? Definitely. A perfect night out.

We then went on to the Walkabout bar in Covent Garden. No entrance fee, reasonably priced drinks and a brilliant band followed by good chart music. Perfect for all those who just want to let their hair down and cheesily dance to the YMCA with a group of strangers. The only problem with this bar is it closed at 1am and we were definitely still in the party mood.

After came a trip home on the night bus. It was a brilliant trip actually as we met up with a group of local lads who had just seen Steps at GAY.

We didnt have much luck with transport last night with engineering works on the trains and a 40 minute wait for the N15. How London doesn't have trains running all night is beyond me but we still had a wicked night anyway.
