Cinema City Norwich.

Project Hail Mary.

This was our third visit to the cinema this year, and easily the best movie seen. Loved it.

Teacher sent on a mission to save the world, although it’s much more than just that. Go watch it.

Also, after much discussion about how difficult it is to rate things across different genres, we’ve come up with a ‘chart’ for each discipline. T

his goes straight to the top in the ‘Cinema Chart’ so far this year:

  1. Project Hail Mary
  2. EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert
  3. Hamnet

Top Hat @ Norwich Theatre

This was our sixth visit to either a gig, the cinema, a comedy show, or the theatre. In fact, it was our third visit to the theatre so far.

There may be trouble ahead, but while there’s moonlight, and music, and love, and romance…let’s face the music and dance!

Difficult to say something bad about this show, it was a really nice night’s entertainment. Loads of great songs that we all know: Cheek to Cheek, Puttin’ On The Ritz, just to mention a couple.

The plot is pretty basic, man and woman fall in love, a bit of mistaken identity, and there you have it.

It’s based on the 1935 classic film, which starred Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This is a really good adaptation and well worth a visit if you get a chance.

It’s difficult putting together an order of ‘most entertaining’ when you’re visiting so many different forms of entertainment. But doing it anyway. This goes in at number 2:

  1. Operation Mincemeat
  2. Top Hat
  3. EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert
  4. Hamnet
  5. The RnR Show
  6. 2.22: A Ghost Story
