My latest review is a 2⭐️ review for Tasting Notes.‘Overall Tasting Notes is a clever concept that needs some large tweaks to avoid the repetition getting monotonous and to allow the characters to develop. Alter some of the songs to make them more memorable and drive the plot more and you could have an interesting new musical on your hands.’ ... See MoreSee Less

Last nights trip was a trip to the fabulous (baby) Sister Act.‘Sister Act is blessed with an insanely talented cast and numerous feel good numbers, it is thanks to this combination that the the show gets away with a lot more than some of its counter parts might. However if you are looking for a night out to marvel at some vocal gymnastics, be dazzled by sequins and laugh with some comedy gold talent then Sister Act is the perfect show choice.’Read the full ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here- ...

Witt the sad loss of Olivia Newton-John yesterday

Witt the sad loss of Olivia Newton-John yesterday it dawned on me just how big her influence was on me in my love of musicals! After being addicted to her film I begged to see the west end production of Grease for my 13th birthday. This reel is just a little homage to her and my collection of all things Grease related!

July was crazy theatre wise but I loved it! With huge shows like the gala night for @prettywomanmusicaluk and press night for @sisteractsocial through to supporting friends at @erithplayhouse. Oh and I also threw in a black tie work do, dinner in an igloo and some Al fresco drinking.

My latest review is up. It’s a 2⭐️ review for tasting notes….this brings me onto another topic!
.
Bloggers have come under fire recently for giving bad review to shows. It gives me no pleasure to give a 1/2 ⭐️ review, especially for new writing, but I like to think that I’m always constructive. Additionally if I’m not honest with my thoughts on a show then how will my readers trust me? What’s your thoughts?

Being stuck at home with covid during this heatwav

Being stuck at home with covid during this heatwave is not the one however I am so thankful for my garden! In the meantime until I can be in a pub drinking cold aperol spritzers I’m going to throw it back to my trip to Coppa Club. This was pre drinks at The Boathouse which had wonderful views of sunny Putney and the river!

My latest review is Pennyroyal at @finboroughtheatre.

‘Pennyroyal is an intimate piece of theatre which throughout thrives when engaging and exploring the relationship between two women but potentially needs tweaking when it comes to the underlying emotion behind the piece.’

Last night I checked out Erith Playhouse. I always love supporting friends do their thing and last night was no different cheering on @shinymike90 as Tobias In a very different and thought provoking version of Sweeney Todd!

Does everyone else have stagey plans for the weekend?

One of the benefits on working in London means I get to try out all of the various food and drink offerings. I checked out @gordonramsaystreetburger on Kensington High Street! Decent value of a burger, chips and cocktail for £20.

Well I cut it fine but I finally managed to see @alwcinderella on Friday night! So glad I caught it and I hope the cast and crew enjoy their last show together.

Also massive respect to @carriehopefletcher - stunning leading lady and was taking so much time with her fans after the show….the queue to see her was huge!

One thing that got me through lockdown was watching ALL of Ru Pauls Drag Race! I was therefore thrilled to get a chance to see BenDeLaCreme again, having seen her earlier holiday show with Jinx. The full review is on my blog but she really does have a way of entertaining that’s clever, funny, filthy and innocent wrapped into one!

Come with me to the Moulin Rouge….
.
Moulin Rouge is possibly my favourite film ever….combine that with a live musical and to me it has the possibility of a match made in heaven….however whilst the spectacle of the set, costumes and choreography was stunning the characters failed to connect both with the audience and each other. Read my full review on the blog!

When I go to see shows such as American Idiot by @sedoslondon and many other amateur shows it reminds me of how lucky we are to have a such strong thriving amateur scene in London! These shows are anything but amateur so I challenge you all to check out an amateur production….and if free this week/next American Idiot comes highly recommended.

What was the last amateur show you saw?
