Arts & Culture weekend in Sydney

This weekend was Arts & Culture weekend in Sydney. Lane and I started it off by going to see Idina Menzel sing with the Symphony Orchestra. Idina is a big Broadway star in NY who Lane (and everyone else in the Opera House) seemed to know very well. She opened Wicked as Elphaba, and also played Rachel's mother on Glee. It was a super fun show - she was very funny and sang a mix of pop songs and musical hits. After the show we met KM and KM2 for some drinks in the hotel bar, as they were in town for our Values Day on Friday.


Arts & Culture continued on Saturday with a team visit to Blak, an Aboriginal-inspired dance also at the Opera House. This was not quite my cup of tea, although the male dancers were nice to look at! I felt fully steeped in culture after this and decided that I did not need to see any museums to round out the weekend! The team had a few drinks at the Opera House Bar after the show to round out a lovely evening.



Today (Sunday) has been recovery day. We got pedicures and I got a massage and caught up on sleep. Ready to start the week (sort of.....) !!!!
