My ipod is my favourite gadget. It’s filled almost to the brim with many a cast recording of various shows from London and Broadway, film scores and classic rock mostly, on the music side. I’m also fond of audiobooks, though I do still love to read actual ones! Lately, I’ve been discovering podcasts, and just […]
When people ask me who my favourite musical theatre composer is, I can and will answer immediately: Sondheim. For me, his work just says so much about life, people and relationships, and I think it’s really witty, heartbreaking and thought provoking, sometimes all in the space of a single scene! That being said, I’m the […]
I’ve been trying lately to follow and reach out to more bloggers, and wanting to collaborate with them! The idea for this post came from fellow blogger and musical theatre fan Em of http://thisisemsworld.com/ Em and I started talking about doing a post about our favourite musical theatre songs, but as that is such a […]
Dear Kelli, I’ve no idea wether you’ll see this, and I don’t expect you to read it – but I wanted to try and get these words down all the same; because they are important to me, and I wanted to get them out there. Theatre has been somewhat of a lifeline for me given […]

It’s been announced today that Waitress will be “Opening Up” in the West End from February next year. It’s playing at the Adelphi, which isn’t my favourite as my seat is right at the back of stalls there and as I love the music and story so much I just would’ve liked to be closer, […]
Though Stephen Sondheim is my favourite composer in musical theatre, the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein come a very close second. For me their melodies are the most luscious ever written, and many of their lyrics are so meaningful and beautiful. I have my grandparents to thank for introducing me to their work through many […]
Many of my favourite musicals are or have been on Broadway, and not being able to travel overseas anymore because of my disability is something I’m forever wrestling real sadness, frustration and jealousy about. That’s why I’m glad that there are Cast Recordings, they help take the sting out of those feelings, even if only […]
This one must begin with a shout out to my dear friend and fellow blogger, Olivia, who pointed me in its direction! You can read her answers here: https://thoughtsofablueeyedgirl.wordpress.com/2018/06/23/musical-theatre-challenge/?preview=true (and give her a follow while you’re there, she’s brilliant 😉 ) Being the massive musical theatre fan I am, it would be silly to not […]
