Too much of a good thing?

With my love of musical theatre, a question I regularly hear from my parents and other family members is ‘why do you go see that show so much?’ My response to this question is always overwhelmingly positive, and I can go on and on about how much I love the story, music and the lyrics. […]

Belated Birthday Happenings…

So, another birthday been and gone and as is almost customary for me by now after spending the past three birthdays of mine there, I spent it in my favourite city in the world with good friends and a fantastic show! My first mention of thank you for helping make my birthday special must go […]

‘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.

Nothing’s Quite The Same As The Pajama Game :D June 1st, 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 […]
