I’ve a bit of an odd relationship with my local theatre in that pretty often, the shows we end up having here will either have me visiting quite regularly, or I can go months without a visit as nothing really appeals to me. Sometimes though, Bristol will play host to shows that make me incredibly […]
Since my major local theatre had a bit of a facelift and have moved the wheelchair spaces forward thus offering a better view, I’ve been more inclined to see more shows here at home over recent months, and even better if they tie in with my resolution to see more musicals (and indeed plays) […]
In my experience, there seems to be a general perception that Off West End theatre can’t match up to its West End counterpart. For my part I’m trying to see more Off West End productions, but it can be difficult to fit their shorter runs into my theatregoing schedule what with travel expenses from home […]
My love of musical theatre has led me to encounter some shows that are incredibly special to me that began life on the other side of the Atlantic. There’s Steve Martin and Edie Brickell’s Bright Star, Jason Robert Brown’s The Bridges of Madison County, and more recently, a reimagining of my favourite Disney film […]
Nestled away in London’s Covent Garden you can find the Donmar Warehouse, one of my favourite theatrical venues in the city.

To kick off my theatrical blogs for the new year, I’d like to just take you guys back a little to the matinee of New Year’s Eve. I could be found at King’s Cross Theatre seeing Lazarus, the new musical by David Bowie and Enda Walsh. I am, regrettably not as well versed in David […]
Those who know me and my theatregoing habits will know that I’m a sucker for revivals of musicals and will always find space in my stagey diary for them. You’ll also know if you are an occasional or regular avid reader of my theatrical musings, that I’m trying to make a conscious effort to see […]
Calling all #OATsuperstar fans. I set this up so we can show the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre team how much we love this show, and how worthy we think it is of a cast recording, for those of us who have seen it, and for those who haven’t had the opportunity, so this incredible […]
At the end of last year, I made a commitment to myself to make more of a conscious effort to see new shows. My theatre going staples and regulars will always have a place in my diary and my heart, and still have a ways to go in terms of seeing more new things, but […]
I remember the first time I came across Nadim Naaman. It was 2012, and two of my friends and I were at Stage Door of Her Majesty’s Theatre as one of them wanted to leave some gifts there for him. He actually caught up with us there and watching him interact with my friend I […]
