This year has been brilliant! I have seen 71 shows from regional venues to Londons vibrant West End to my first Broadway shows. They're not in order at all: Follies- This show is rarely done because of its huge cast and orchestra requirements. But it is a stunning show, I saw it 3 times at … Continue reading My Favourite Shows Of 2019
My Thoughts On Dear Evan Hansen
I booked a £27 seat for this right up in the balcony ,which is the very top level of the Noel Coward Theatre. The view was brilliant from up there so don't hesitate to book them and you aren't miles away at all! I would recommend Row D in the balcony because the rake is … Continue reading My Thoughts On Dear Evan Hansen
My Thoughts On Phantom Of The Opera
Phantom has been running in the West End now for 33 years I think and it is still selling out! Ive not seen any discounts flying around either. I saw Phantom at the back of the upper circle and it was a bargain for £25 to see this spectacular production. I was sat at the … Continue reading My Thoughts On Phantom Of The Opera
My Thoughts On Gypsy
Wow! The Royal Exchange never fails to impress with a musical, which is normally performed in a Proscenium space, but the genius of the creative team has presented it in the round space! It's a hearty backstage musical about the gritty reality of show-biz and has the show within a show thing going on which … Continue reading My Thoughts On Gypsy

My Thoughts On Thriller Live
I have finally seen Thriller Live and I wanted to share some quick thoughts on it with you! So Thriller Live is NOT a musical, if you have seen a show on a cruise ship then it is similar to that. I would call it more of a concert but your not allowed to go … Continue reading My Thoughts On Thriller Live
My Thoughts On Mame
Mame is a hidden gem of musical theatre with Music And Lyrics by Jerry Herman. It ran on broadway briefly in 1966. This is the first time the show has been revived in 50 years! But it certainly doesn’t feel like it was written 50 years ago. Starring the incredible Tracie Bennett as the very … Continue reading My Thoughts On Mame
Gypsy At The Royal Exchange
I am so excited for this to come to one of my favourite theatres. How are they going to do this very classical musical in the round! They always astonish me with their genius staging... You really don't want to miss this! The exuberance, grit and glamour of Burlesque finds a home in the Exchange’s … Continue reading Gypsy At The Royal Exchange
My Thoughts On Macbeth
This was my first Shakespeare play, so from my point of view I was interested to know how I would react to a play by Britain’s greatest playwright. The play opens with what looks like a scene from an SAS raid, with actors dressed in modern army uniforms. This was followed by the scene of … Continue reading My Thoughts On Macbeth
My Thoughts On Waitress
I've already reviewed Waitress but with Kat Mcphee starring in it. I wanted to see what the new cast was like and they did not dissapoint! So this is just a cast review: Lucie Jones has taken on one of the most demanding roles in the West End which is Jenna. I cannot describe how … Continue reading My Thoughts On Waitress
