The Light Princess at the National Theatre (who are 50)

Oh! I loved The Light Princess! I laughed, I cried, I could watch it again tonight if I could afford it. It's beautiful.

The sets are stunning, the singing, the dancing...I'm still smiling.

It's a fairy tale musical involving a princess that floats and a prince that never smiles.

The floating is amazing, some of it is with wires and some is sort of dancing, with sneaky people dressed in black lifting her and supporting her while she sings.

I love fairy tales anyway and this didn't disappoint. Beautiful with darkness and humour.

Also, by chance, we happened to have attended on the night of the National Theatre's 50th anniversary so there were stunning fireworks afterwards.

I'm still gloriously happy!
