I’ve just booked a ticket for the new Les Miserables in concert production and I’m planning to go by myself.
While I’m sure I could persuade a friend to come with me, there weren’t really any pairs of reasonably priced tickets left. It’s my favourite show and while browsing I found a single mid-range ticket for what looks like a great seat, so I booked it to go on my own.
I’ve just told a friend, in an ‘I’m so excited way’ and her reaction was not what I expected. Apparently I should be worried about looking like I’m weird or have no friends...... This did cross my mind, but the ticket looked too good to pass up, and it’s not like you talk during the show! The interval generally involves queuing for toilet anyway so it’s not like there’s much socialisation there.......
I’m 27 and single with a good circle of friends, but is it weird to be going to see a West End musical on my own???
