the husband found me all the way over in liverpool. he flew in just in time to catch my closing night performance. it was perfect. 

i hadn't seen him for over two weeks and it was killing me....don't even get me started on missing my puppy/dogchild. 

we explored all over liverpool and then the husband got to experience closing night with me and our crazy crew. marie even got him on the forehead;) 

it was a night to be remembered. 

we spent a lot of the day at the cavern...the original joint where the beatles started.

 uhhh-mazing. 

i just kept thinking, i wish my mom could see this, she is the craziest beatle fan i know!

pretending to be rock stars. 

maybe in my second life i will come back as the lead singer of some hugely famous rock band. i can only dream.

that night we celebrated with the rest of the cast and crew back at the cavern and then clubbed hopped the night away around liverpool....oh i also found my twin at one of the joints. we didn't even plan it;) i actually don't know him. again, the uk people take clubbing to a whole new awesome level i had no idea even existed. 

those brits are so cool. 

now onto london and paris with the husband...

ciao!

UK Tour Part 2

Remember how i blogged about the first part of my uk tour like 3 months ago....well i'm FINALLY getting around to part dos. enjoy.

the most amazing part of this whole experience was definitely sharing the stage with this amazing cast 

the crowds were unreal. it was such a rush to perform each night on different stages in different cities (and sometimes countries) each night. i will never forget those feelings on stage and the amazing people i got to work with (it takes a lot of people to put on a tour with an amazing show). can you tell i take total pride in my cast:)

our second part of tour took place in nottingham, manchester, belfast, dublin, glasgow, and ended back in liverpool. pure craziness. 

 "robin hooding" in nottingham

i heart dublin

we lucked out in scotland. we only had a day there so our dresser hooked us up with a driver who took us around the beautiful outskirts of scotland.

 it was everything i expected. green. green. green. 

a little love sign i came across. 

i loved every minute of this tour. from the amazing venues to the wild fans to the yummiest catering to the sleepless nights on our bus and overnight ferry rides. so many memories i will cherish forever.

uk tour part 1

ive been on a blogging hiatus. ugh. i hate catching up. of course my intentions were to blog about my uk adventures the week we got back so i didnt forget anything...but here i am. two months later. 

and so....the d&m uk tour part uno. it was a blast. to say the least.

adventures and experiences i will never forget. we flew into london and first up on our tour was the massive O2 arena. what a way to kick off tour...i was not ready for the intensity of these wild uk fans. it took performing to a whole new level, and i loved every minute of it. 

our tour bus driver was my fave...jonny! he always stocked the candy box, filled us with hours of pure entertainment, and ran over the crazy donny fans blocking our bus after the show. ha. 

always shenanigans on the bus.

our team doesnt really know how to pack light. 

next up was brighton. the cutest little town. one of my favorite little hotel cottages, hotel du vin. 

it was right on the english channel. our tour was literally a tour. we had like one day off in the middle, but other than that we performed at the venue, loaded the bus, drove to the next city, performed...repeat. we only had until about 3pm to explore all these amazing places. 

and you bet i used every extra minute i had to do so....

we definitely did not starve on tour. 

our catering was seriously the best. i gained 10lbs easy.

we then were off to Birmingham, Bournemouth, and Cardiff. 

victoria sq.

we explored Birmingham on one of our days off. 

we had to take the most famous touristy photo of all time.... "ello"

the best way to get to know a new city it walk. we walked everywhere...and sometimes (most the time) ran so we could see as much as possible before our call time. 

owwwmmm

we got into cardiff around 2am and were surprised by all the people out and about...on a tuesday night. it was a partyyyy town. so we joined the fun. 

the uk takes clubbing to another extreme...costumes and all. and i just kept thinking..."its tuesday night" 

we danced the night away here....

and then i ended that night in here.

ha.

to be continued.....
