Moo Moo

October 20, 2009

Next to the beautiful Novodevichy monastery, Moo Moo is a delightful children’s restaurant dressed as a welcoming farmer’s kitchen. Large black and white spots come straight off the cows to decorate the tables, chairs and napkins. The cook squeezes inside a fairy tale house to prepare the food and the menu is heavily milk-based, pancakes with sweetened condensed milk for 40 rubles is a local favourite. The food is very reasonable with dishes from 15 to 142 rubles.


Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

October 1, 2009

In the Madrid Players’ English-language pantomime, Snow White wins a talent contest organised by the wicked Queen’s press agent Dame Donna Deluxe. The Queen, informed by her mirror, is enraged and contracts Hollywood wannabe Gladiator and his sidekick Tigger to kill her. The comic duo cannot carry out the dastardly deed and let Snow White and Dame Donna free in the Forbidden Forest where they end up involved in a version of Big Brother in the dwarves’ house. Dodgy jokes, Star Wars and Harry Potter references abound in this laugh-a-minute show.
