…I learnt from Madonna!

I went to a Midsumma event last night, a one-man show by a fellow Madonna fan, obviously, who wrote and acted in a play about his life, work, lovers, and told the story through a number of quotations taken from Madonna’s extensive song catalogue.

It was funny, sad, touching…. The Queen would be proud!

I stayed for drinks after the show, held in La Mama, a cute little alternative independent theatre in the Carlton district, a new discovery just adjacent to my Fitzroy neighborhood.

Of course I wore a Madonna T-shirt, a gift from Sebastián in Chile, and I quickly got in touch with Wayne, the actor and playwright, and his producer.

It was fun meeting a fellow fan, talking Madonna, and making plans to go see her whenever she comes back to Australia.

I never need a particular reason to travel, even less if it involves a Madonna show… Hey, I want to get to see at least 100 shows…!

I’ll be in Sydney when they open there, so I might just go for a second time. Always fun to connect with fellow fans… Madonna makes the people come together… yeah!
