‘The Machine’ – Manchester International Festival, 20th July 2013

If you had told me a few months ago that I would be seeing a play inspired by the events of 1997 when Grandmaster and World Champion Garry Kasparov took on IBM and Deep Blue, the computer designed by Feng- Hsiung Hsu and Murray Campbell in a six game chess match that took the internet […]

A Little Night Music- June 16th, 2013

, Until last night, my experience and knowledge of Steven Sondheim’s work has been limited to demon barbers, bits and pieces of West Side Story, and a very vague remembrance of a song that had something to do with Clowns. So, I figured it was about time I rectify this, with a trip to Guildford’s […]

Nothing’s Quite The Same As The Pajama Game :D June 1st, 2013

This review must begin with a HUGE thanks to my friend Sylvia, without whom I wouldn’t have managed to see this show 😀 Lyrics from ‘Once A Year Day’ in The Pajama Game say that for One Day in the year: ‘Everyone’s entitled to be wild, Be a child, Be a Goof, Raise The Roof!’ […]

John Partridge ‘Dames n Dudes’ @ Hippodrome Casino, London 27/4/2013

John Partridge. Star of stage, screen, talent show judge, and as I learned last night, one HELL of a wonderful showman! When myself and my good friend and theatre buddy Naomi arrived at London’s Hippodrome Casino (which incidentally is an AMAZING building and the staff are all wonderful) I had idea of what to expect […]

Oliver! Bristol Hippodrome, 26/1/2013

Last night I had a brilliant night at the Bristol Hippodrome accompanied by my good friend, fellow blogger and theatre lover Naomi, seeing Oliver! for the first time! Admittedly, the film version is not one of my absolute favourites but I’m a fan of many of the songs and was a little upset I never […]

Fairytale of New York @ St James Studio, 8th December 2012

So now I’ve sadly come back down to earth, I thought it was about time I filled y’all in the immense Saturday I had with many of my friends and four phenomenally  talented and wonderfully lovely people in my favourite city in the world. I was joined by my good friend Kristine, and seeing that […]

Hadley Fraser @ St James Theatre, 28th October 2012

So this Sunday just gone was as close to my idea of perfection as I think it’s possible to get, all thanks to a combination of three things: being in my favourite city in the world, with a good majority of my fantastic friends all to see an extremely gifted artist and pure all round […]

Finding Neverland 11/10/2012

So, I have indulged one of my childhood fantasies- on Thursday I went away to Neverland, courtesy of the brand new musical from Harvey Weinstein and an incredible team of people: Finding Neverland, based on the hit film of the same name. The musical’s current home is the Curve Theatre in Leicester, which I have […]

Birthday Fun Les Mis, Phantom & Sweeney style, August 31st- September 1st 2012

So,  another epic weekend in London town gone, choc full of awesome memories that made my 22nd birthday weekend something truly special! Are y’all sitting comfortably? Good, you’re going to need to be with this round of fangirling! 😀 Now, as some of you might know, I went to see Sweeney Todd back in June. […]
