Admist a crazy personal year with lots of big changes, writing for my blog ended up having to take a backseat. But I couldn’t let 2023 slip by without doing a round-up of the theatre shows that stayed with me long after the curtain fell. So join me on a journey through my top theatrical …
Andrew Lippa’s whimsical score for Big Fish is one of my all-time favourites. I managed to catch the reworked production at The Other Palace a few years back in London. It was a stunning production that made it so easy to fall in love with the Act One finale song. It could be because I …
With another year comes more exciting theatre! I’m sure many of you already have your diaries lined up with exciting shows to go see. Here are some of the shows I am looking forward to seeing in London this year!
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 …
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.

So if ‘Midnights’ lyrics were in …

Maybe people just forgot how bad it could be. When the theatres reopened, I spent some time working front of house in two …
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 …
Omigod you guys, Legally Blonde the musical is back in London! It’s only for a limited time so catch it at the Regent’s Park Open Air theatre before it’s too late. Since opening on Broadway, Legally Blonde the musical has firmly cemented itself as a favourite amongst theatre fans. When fashion major Elle Woods forms …
** SPOILERS AHEAD ** If I could use two words to describe Hex at the National Theatre, it would be ‘utterly bizarre’ – sometimes in the best way, and sometimes in the worst way. There was no inbetween. Which is why I’ve decided this was a solid three star show for me. What is it …
