I Was A Teenage She Devil at @theotherpalace knows

I Was A Teenage She Devil at @theotherpalace knows exactly what it is and rarely pretends to be anything else. It’s chaotic, camp and deliberately excessive, revelling in its own absurdity while leaning hard into its 80s horror influences. While the sheer volume of songs and relentless pace can blur the edges, there’s an undeniable sense of fun that carries it through. This is not a show for those seeking nuance — but for audiences willing to embrace the madness, it delivers a gleefully unhinged night of theatre.

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of @jajasafricanhairbraiding at

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of @jajasafricanhairbraiding at @lyrichammersmith is up-
‘the play invites the audience into the space of the salon not as observers of a single story, but as witnesses to many lives unfolding at once. It is this balance of intimacy and authenticity that marks this as a deeply human piece of theatre.’

This is a production that understands the responsibility of the material it holds. @sedoslondon have not shied away from the darkness at the heart of Next to Normal, instead leaning into its rawness to create something that feels both intimate and quietly devastating.Full thoughts on my website

Ok so I’m late to the party but thanks to @todaytix rush I finally saw Hercules.

My full ⭐️⭐️⭐️ is up on my website but is a show that entertains in the moment even if it doesn’t reach the emotional highs it’s aiming for.

Last night I was back at @bobhopetheatreeltham supporting @eldoradomusicalproductions and their production of Seussical and you can’t not leave Seussical grinning can you! It’s the start of a busy few weeks of amateur theatre for me which i adore!

On Monday night I headed to @rivals_social in Canterbury and had the BEST time! I got to check out the arena, the grid and the food (swipe to the second photo for the pure joy in my face eating the churros!). If you are local to Canterbury I 100% recommend!
Thanks to @rddigital_uk for the invite!

By the final curtain, The Ballad of Johnny & June

By the final curtain, The Ballad of Johnny & June proves itself to be an enjoyable celebration of two hugely influential figures in country music. While the storytelling sometimes feels secondary to the musical performances, there is no denying the quality of the cast or the enduring appeal of the songs themselves.

Last night I was incredibly proud to be part of this concert which focused on performers from a global majority background and embracing what it means to be a theatre kid! Diversity in amateur theatre has a long way to go but last night was just a small snippet of how much talent is there if people genuinely want to do the work.Thank you to @kaiseyelder and @tesh_samuel92 my fellow co-directors for agreeing to take on this show with me and for @jpmrkshlm @lakeisha.louise @steamedbaos @emaemusic @in_the_moment________ @ddubz_99 @cheyonscene @kyannacronshaw for not only their stunning performances but for being a joy to work with! Finally thanks to the audience who supported it!These clips show a small glimpse of the talent from dsm desk for the night -I was calling cues for much of it so couldn’t capture everyone (sorry!)

Celebrating 80 years of Maury Yeston 🎶✨From Tita

Celebrating 80 years of Maury Yeston 🎶✨From Titanic to Nine, To Maury With Love at Theatre Royal Drury Lane brought together an incredible line-up of West End talent to honour a composer whose work deserves far greater recognition.Read my full review on my website!

@cygnetplayers have embraced the spirit of We Will

@cygnetplayers have embraced the spirit of We Will Rock You rather than being constrained by its weaknesses. By leaning into the humour, delivering the music with confident and investing heavily in technical design they have created a production that feels bold and unapologetically theatrical.

I headed to the rehearsal room of @seawitchmusical where I got to see the likes of @nataliemayparis, @djavanvande @amydibartolomeo and the rest of this cast doing their thing! The show is on for one night only, 1st March at Theatre Royal Drury Lane and it’s sounding insane already!!

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of The Bodyguard at @newwimbledon

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of The Bodyguard at @newwimbledontheatre is up.
Whilst the emotional arc feels thin this show delivers what many of the audience come for- big vocals, big energy and a reminder of just how well these songs work in a theatrical setting.

Well I adored this one!! @haroldfrymusical underst

Well I adored this one!!
@haroldfrymusical understands that grief, love and forgiveness rarely arrive in grand gestures; more often they creep up on us, step by step, mile by mile. I arrived at this show knowing nothing and left feeling everything!

My thoughts on American Psycho at the @almeida_theatreYou may leave questioning whether you enjoyed it, but that uneasy aftertaste is very much the point. American Psycho remains a chilling reminder that beneath the surface polish, something rotten can still be smiling back at us.Full ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review is on my website.

Ok jumping on this trend & to be fair it seems fairly spot on- theatre, law & frenchies!!! Not sure why I have a playbill considering I’m in London but we can overlook that!!
