London 2024 Day Five

Today was beautiful but a bit cooler. We made our way to the West End for lunch at Fallow, a place that specializes in local stuff and unusual combinations. The highlight for me were the mussels with a slice of bread in the bottom to soak up all the delicious juices. They were heavenly! After lunch we wandered the West End on our way to the Fortune Theatre for a matinee of Operation Mincemeat the 2024 winner of the Olivier for the best new musical. It was delightful with a tiny cast: two men and three women who played alternating male and female roles. The finale gave me feels again (frisson over and over). Home by way of Kingsway and Holborn on the Central Line for a lovely charcuterie spread provided by Annie.

94 to Piccadilly Circus

Mussels: drool

Leicester Square

Covent Garden

To Twismas

Fortune Theatre with no mice, Ringers

Who needs to move their legs anyway? Not even a
millimeter of leg room

Blue because...

...the stage was bathed in blue light during intermission

Finale

Christmas on Kingsway -- rushing to the Holborn Station

Tomorrow is our last day in London. Fish and chips for sure and a matinee of the Book of Mormon.
