It was announced last week that the Broadway smash hit Moulin Rouge would be making its way to this side of the pond; and though we have to wait until 2021, I was overjoyed by the news, for two reasons: its at a theatre I really like in terms of my seat and as is […]
I’ve been going to the theatre regularly for eight years. That’s eight years of falling in love with stories, characters, words, music and stagecraft. I love this industry, I really do – it brings so much joy to my life in a whole host of ways – both big and small. I think an […]
My love of theatre will always be one of my favourite things in my life. It inspires, moves and challenges me, and consistently makes my life brighter thanks to the whole host of friends I’ve made, and performers it’s introduced me to. It can also be a bittersweet passion to have, as you learn very […]
I remember vividly the first time I listened to the Broadway Cast Recording of The Bridges of Madison County – it was an evening in March of 2016, and as is usual I should have been sleeping, but instead I was captivated by Jason Robert Brown’s score – a blend of folk, rock, country and […]
Once more, life and lack of energy have sidetracked me from documenting this theatre outing sooner after the event. In a way, it’s been a good thing, because I wanted to reflect on the experience and find words to do it proper justice. On the other, it feels a little redundant to write now, since […]
I came to Terence Rattigan’s 1952 play The Deep Blue Sea in a bit of a roundabout way – I saw the 2011 film adaptation starring Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston and Simon Russell Beale which I adored, and it encouraged me to read the play. Over the years, I’ve revisited it multiple times and its […]
Opening this blog with a confession that might strike horror into the hearts of my many Disney loving friends: Aladdin isn’t among my favourite films. I enjoy some of the humour and Jafar is my 3rd favourite villain (Team Scar forever and always, closely followed by Frollo!) but other films just appeal to me more. As such, […]
The Coliseum seems to be becoming my venue that encourages me to take risks and choose to see shows that wouldn’t normally be on my radar; I was last there back in January where I saw Notre Dame de Paris during its limited run.When it was announced that Man of La Mancha would be playing […]
I was delighted to be contacted a few weeks back by Eleanor Turney, co director of Incoming Festival to do a little feature on my blog! Eleanor also very kindly agreed to do an interview to accompany the piece. Live locally and want to see some brilliant new theatre? Of course you do. From […]
Here we go then, yet another musical I’ve not long got around to seeing! I’d heard a lot about it though, thanks to close friends and the outpouring of love for it on my Twitter timeline. A recent casting decision I totally got behind finally gave me the push towards heading back to the Apollo […]
