As my loyal readers and listeners to the Wheelie Stagey podcast will already know, Jason Robert Brown will forever have a piece of my heart and soul thanks to Bridges of Madison County. The ongoing lockdown has afforded me the opportunity to become acquainted with more of his work – notably Songs For A New […]
The start of this year hasn’t been the kindest or easiest for my family. My dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on January 16th, of what we now know was an abdominal aortic aneurysm – where a bulge in the artery from one’s heart to the stomach ruptures, manifesting itself very similarly in the way […]
It feels remiss of me to be writing this so late after the event, but I wanted to acknowledge it anyway seeing as it was my final in person show of this year, before my hometown and the theatre’s locale moved back into Tier 3 restrictions in light of the pandemic that very same evening, […]
Now, I’m on record here and on my podcast staking my claim to Jesus Christ Superstar being my favourite score from Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I will live and die on that hill, but the more I become acquainted with the music and the show, Sunset Boulevard is a very close second. The show first […]
Imagine, if you will, the second lockdown putting pain to the opening of your show a day into rehearsals, and then deciding to put together a filmed version in 3 days. That’s exactly what’s happened with Falling Stars, a new musical revue celebrating the composers, collaborators and publishers of the 1920’s, and the result is […]
[title of show] was one of those that I knew a little about and had seen and heard some good buzz, but it had remained under my radar. I couldn’t see the show when it ran at the Landor with Simon Bailey and Scott Garnham because the space wasn’t accessible to me in my wheelchair, […]
For reasons other than “gunpowder, treason & plot”, November 5th is a date I’ll remember, for it marked the end of a particularly difficult chapter in my life with the arrival of a new wheelchair! Some of you may remember that I’ve been struggling with particularly intense back pain as a result of my seating […]
As the UK braces itself for a second national lockdown and my plans for theatre this month (and let’s be realistic, probably longer) have been scuppered and the industry is again plunged into uncertainty, I’m once again reminded of my relationship with theatre as it’s moved from in person to digital. I definitely feel like […]

It feels too late after the event to call this a review, but all the same I wanted to share a piece on what this show means to me. Stuart Matthew Price & Timothy Knapman’s Before After first came into my life back in 2014 – I attended the workshop performance at the St James […]
