14 Musical Songs To Make You Feel Festive at Christmas
Christmas Day is almost here! And I know it can sometimes get repetitive listening to the same old classic Christmas songs on the radio. So why not mix it up in the most stagey way and weave some showtunes into your Christmas listening habits! To spread a little holiday cheer, I’ve put together a list …
Theatre Review: Newsies at the Troubadour Theatre
Extra, extra! Get your papes! Newsies has finally landed in London after a decade-long wait. My love for Newsies has been unwavering for an equally long period of time, so of course I’m biassed. But when I tell you this production is one of the most incredible pieces of theatre in general that I have …
Theatre Review: 42 Balloons at the Vaudeville Theatre
Up, up, and away! What a flying stage debut for this brand new musical. I was so lucky to catch the final flight of 42 Balloons at the Vaudeville. It was a very special evening indeed. Obviously, this is still a work-in-progress but I had some thoughts I wanted to share, with the consideration that …
Theatre Review: From Here To Eternity at the Charing Cross Theatre
A second life has been granted to the musical adaptation of From Here To Eternity, complete with new staging, added songs, and a completely revised order. Under a new creative team, this version of the show feels a lot darker with some welcome changes. I saw the original production of this show back in 2013 …
Theatre Review: Marvellous at @sohoplace
Nica Burns’ new pride and joy, the first West End theatre to open in fifty years, has become a temporary home to a heart-warming new play based on the life of Neil Baldwin. It was a marvellous selection (forgive me, I couldn’t resist), but also a bold choice, to open the theatre with a new …
Musical Theatre Characters As Taylor Swift ‘Midnights’ Lyrics
The only thing that has been on my mind since last Friday is every single song from Taylor Swift’s Midnights (3am Version). Taylor has created some of the most gorgeous, poetic, often relatable, lyrics ever written. And sometimes, she writes lyrics that could be said by characters in musicals. So if ‘Midnights’ lyrics were in …
A Handy Guide On What Not To Do At The Theatre
I’ve seen many people commenting since theatres have reopened they’re noticing a lot of awful theatre etiquette. The thing is though, I haven’t noticed it being any worse than it was pre-pandemic. Maybe people just forgot how bad it could be. When the theatres reopened, I spent some time working front of house in two …
Theatre Review: Jeremy Jordan at the Drury Lane
One thing I know for certain in this world is that Jeremy Jordan, alongside his musical director (and medley-making extraordinaire) Benjamin Rauhala, know how to put on a good show! First time I saw this iconic duo was in 2016 at a tiny venue at the Hippodrome Casino. It couldn’t have seated more than 150 …
Theatre Review: Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club (Playhouse Theatre)
* This review may containt spoilers about the show / experience * Speechless. That’s how I felt walking into The Playhouse Theatre last week. Absolutely speechless. I have been in this theatre for Fiddler on the Roof when the aisle was altered. Was also there when it was converted into the Afghan Café for The …
