42 Balloons Vlog 2 - The Lowry - Theatre Vlog & Review Including Curtain Call

42 Balloons ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In this vlog I visit The Lowry to see one of the preview performances of 42 Balloons before it's official opening night on 2nd May. This was my second time seeing the show and I went to a Wednesday evening performance on 19th April 2024, the show started at 8pm in the Lowry's Queys Theatre, the show had a run time of 2hr 20mins including a 20min interval. We were sat in the stalls Row L seats 1 & 2 and the view was excellent. From the award-winning producers of SIX AT THE LOWRY, SALFORD • 18 APRIL - 19 MAY 2024 2nd of July 1982. Using a lawn chair and approximately 42 helium-filled weather balloons, truck driver Larry Walters defied all the odds (and FAA airspace regulations!) to make his lifelong dream a reality and fly sixteen thousand feet above Los Angeles. No, seriously. In a chair. 42 BALLOONS is an uplifting musical inspired by the highly improbable true story of how Larry, and his partner Carol Van Deusen, convinced their friends and family to help Larry achieve his dream of flying. Featuring an irresistible, 80s-style pop score, 42 BALLOONS questions how far you would go to make your dreams come true. Is the sky actually the limit, and what happens if it doesn’t all go to plan? This production contains mild swearing and mature themes including suicide. Audience discretion is advised. Recommended for audiences 12+. 42 Balloons will be running at the Lowry from 18th April - 19th May 2024.

The show started at 7.30pm and it had a run time of 2hrs 30 minutes which includes a 20 minute interval. I was sat in the Stalls, row N seat 27 and my view from this seat was Excellent. & Juliet" is a modern twist on Shakespeare's classic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet." Conceived by writer David West Read and featuring the chart-topping hits of songwriter Max Martin, the musical imagines a world where Juliet's story doesn’t end in tragedy. Instead, she takes control of her fate and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. This fresh and empowering narrative has captivated audiences worldwide, and the UK tour continues this tradition of excellence. The musical begins with William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway, discussing the ending of "Romeo and Juliet." Anne proposes an alternative where Juliet doesn't die, prompting a delightful and daring rewrite of the classic tale. Juliet, upon waking to find Romeo dead, decides to leave Verona with her friends—her nurse Angelique, and her companions May and April—to start anew in Paris. The journey is filled with humour, heart, and poignant moments as Juliet learns to navigate life on her own terms. This reimagined storyline is both empowering and deeply moving, resonating with audiences of all ages.
