On approach we had no concept of what the signs might have meant by a stonking good time ... we were in fact a little concerned ... but once it was finished we were won over. Matilda was a brilliant production that had us singing, clapping, laughing, whistling and provided a twist that gave me chills and brought on tears. How did those kids do it!? The choreography, music, singing, acting, dancing and humour was brilliant and perhaps most amazing of all was the fact that the lead role was a stand-in on the night as the 4 normal actresses were all ill. She was fantastic!
We started the afternoon at the Chocolate Factory enjoying ridiculously sweet drinks, then headed into the Cambridge West End Theatre for Matilda. Afterwards we walked down to Trafalgar Square to check out the Christmas lights and all the dressed up shops. Whistling and singing as we went it was a delightful evening strollimg the streets witn a fair portion of London's population who had a similar idea.
We finished the night watching our ridiculous irreverent family favourite Father Ted's Christmas Special. An all round stonking good time!
