I'm home from an absolutely lovely weekend with xanthelj.
We saw the musical of Dirty Dancing on Friday at the Aldwych Theatre. It was amazing! Yes, I did have 'the time of my life...'. *g*
I was wondering how it would transfer to the stage - but they literally did it scene by scene exactly as it is in the film. It was incredibly well staged & was just so lively & so much fun!
The guy playing Johnny is a ballet dancer & you could really tell - he was incredible! I've never seen dancing like it! His delivery was a little wooden but he 'spoke' so beautifully when he was acting with his body. Oh, & what a body! (Yep, I iz that shallow! *g*) He was perfect for the role, as was the actress playing Baby who was excellent. (Funnily enough, Xanthe & I had stopped in a nearby bakery for an after show cuppa & cake & she came in! We told her how much we'd enjoyed the show & she was so sweet - giving us a wave later as she went out with a huge box of cakes!)
Of course, seeing the show bought all of my 'Nobody puts Rodney in a corner!' ideas bubbling back after I wrote that silly ficlet ages ago! LOL We were discussing how perfectly John & Rodney could fit into DD which led to the idea that Gibbs & Tony could be in a reworked version of 'The Sound of Music' - Gibbs as Captain Von Trapp and Tony as Maria! ;-)
So, I promised Xanthe that if she ever writes 'The Sound of NCIS' then I'll write a full version of 'Dirty McShep Dancing'! LOL Be very afraid! *g*

So, I'm home now - back with my boys who I did miss a ridiculous amount considering I was only gone for two days! ♥

Oh, & a very happy birthday to doylebaby - I hope you have a lovely day!
*hugs*

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I got involved in a renegade off-shoot of SGA fandom with an extremely rare (you could say unique) pairing.
Basically I'm blaming tarlanx for starting the whole thing (& writing such awesome fic ) & then lavvyan & the_cephalopod for being great big enablers of the very finest kind.

Seriously, folks - it's just total, total crack!! *g*
