Much Ado About Nothing

David Tennant makes me do spontaneous things. I have him to blame for my first trip across the pond after all. And now, since I was already planning on being across the pond in August, I seem to have included a day trip to London in my Paris itinerary. I spent this morning on the Wyndham Theatre website attempting to purchase a single ticket to a matinee performance of “Much Ado About Nothing” with David Tennant and Catherine Tate (how could I NOT?) on August 27th.

 

The only problem is that the website kept crashing.

 

I finally got a seat reserved with a reference number, but got an error that my credit card could not be authorised due to a website error.

 

So I cringed as I dialed the UK number given to me and was given an automated message by a man with a lovely British accent that the phone lines were being overwhelmed, at the moment, and to call again.

 

I can’t afford to keep calling so I sent an email instead.

 

So whereas I think I have a ticket to the performance, it’s not 100% confirmed yet.

 

Obviously, this theatre was not prepared for the demand of tickets. You would think they would have known better, though, considering it’s a reunion of the 10th Doctor and one of his companions (and a fan favorite, at that).

I have a date with the Doctor and Donna

I officially have a ticket to see “Much Ado About Nothing” on Saturday, August 27th at 14:30. I also think I’ll have plenty of time to make a date with Fortnum & Mason to stock up on tea, jams and mustards. I hadn’t planned on seeing London again until after the Olympics in 2012, but I am most certainly not complaining. I’m even thinking I might hit the champagne bar at St. Pancras, since I’ll be there anyway.
