What a way to spend an anniversary

[malenkayacherepakha]

So last night, I decided to really treat my boyfriend (who is not a particularly big Harry Potter fan) and take him to see Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts Musical Parody as our anniversary evening out. 

I had no idea what to expect, other than that it had got good reviews at the Fringe, and a vague idea that it might be a rip off of A Very Potter Musical. But actually, it was so funny, and so well done. The actors were great, the jokes were hilarious, the songs amazing, and not gonna lie, I left with a teeny bit of a crush on Voldemort?! Which is a weird place to be in (although let's be real, I totally fancied Voldemort in AVPM too). 

I won't spoil any of the plot, but safe to say it'll make you see Voldemort in a whole new light, and you'll have a smile on your face from the minute you first hear that Harry Potter theme tune as the lights come up. Even my boyfriend (again, not an HP fan, and definitely not a musical fan) was laughing the whole way through and left having had a great time. 

I totally, totally recommend going to see it if it ever comes to a theatre near you.

But, and I cannot stress this enough, please don't make the mistake that the parents sat in the row in front of me did - this is not a child friendly show!

That show sounds brilliant! I'm officially gutted, as it isn't showing in my neck of the woods. Sigh.

I love how it was an anniversary present even though your boyfriend isn't a huge HP fan! XD

It was really great, that's a shame it's not playing near you. I have no idea how they chose the locations they're going to, it seems like a bit of a random selection...

It was complete coincidence that the one night it was showing here was our anniversary but it was nice that it made us go and do something (we aren't big anniversary people) and he did enjoy it in the end haha!
