Last thursday, me and LipstickLoverr went to London by to see Miranda Sings from YouTube at Leicester Square Theatre! If you're not familiar, Miranda Sings is an Internet character created by Colleen Ballinger who is an actress and singer also on YouTube. Miranda is displayed as a "comically talentless, egotistical and quirky character" singing badly to popular chart songs and discussing current events that she often misunderstands. Miranda also gives tutorials and advice on how to avoid her "haters".
One of Miranda's music videos that brought me and LipstickLoverr as friends 3 years ago was California Gurls, a video made by Miranda and her mum in their back garden, and we have watched her ever since. She puts out a specific type of humour that isn't to everyones taste but the topics she covers and videos she creates appeal to us and she's now one of the most well-known youtubers!
The venue was quite small and we had third row seats which were amazingly close and we were quite surprised to find we were the only ones who had gone the whole hog and dressed like miranda with an ugly shirt buttoned up to the neck and red lipstick all the way round our mouths - which was quite hysterical!
The show started with Joshua, Colleen's boyfriend, introducing the show and inviting members of the audience to come onstage and do their best Miranda impressions which was hilarious and some people had really got their impersonations down to a tee! Colleen then took the stage and performed two songs before making the transformation into Miranda, tucking her dress into red sweatpants and a blue striped shirt and pinning her hair back before applying the infamous red lips.
I don't want to give too much away incase you're planning to see the show however I will highly recommend it and say that it is full of hilarity and music covers and "acts" that are worth going to see! It was really fun to see Miranda and Colleen performing live and getting the chance to interact with her as an audience (I was very pleased to record a video of Miranda singing one of my favourite songs, Lady Gaga's Born This Way and have her look directly into the camera of my iPad whilst singing heheh!)
If you're a Mirfanda, definitely don't miss the tour!
After our own transformations!
