在台灣，大眾所能想到的表演場所，大概就只有兩廳院。來到倫敦後，發現這裡的表演場所穿插於城市中的每個角落。我住的區域是有名劇院區，因此像這樣典雅而華麗的劇院不少。只是，在倫敦看一場音樂劇不便宜，少說也要台幣一千塊才能勉強入場，否則就要想辦法由旁門左道擠進劇院（例如：在音樂劇開演後買學生票，也要台幣伍佰）。 然而，倫敦劇院的觀賞氣氛是輕鬆的，可以一邊小酌或吃零嘴一邊看表演，中場休息還會賣冰淇淋。對於從小被灌輸劇院氣氛必須一絲不苟的我，是場在觀賞表演之外的有趣體驗。
Watching a performance in Taiwan seems to be something serious. Most people put on their best clothes and act "civilized" during the theater night. Yet,theaters in London has a relaxed atmosphere. People can sip their drinks or eat snacks during the performance. However, it is rather pricey to go to a musical in London. It costs you about 20 quids to get you a seat that can barely see what's going on on the stage!
