Jo The Little Women Musical in Concert
When I mention Little Women and musical in the same sentence most people would immediately jump to Sutton Foster belting out ‘Astonishing’ but last night saw something very different and a new production of Jo The Little Women Musical. This new musical focuses on the story of Little Women and tells the adventures of the […]
My Neighbour Totoro
My Neighbour Totoro has been on my list for a long time, and I finally found myself with a spare evening and took the plunge. The show originally opened at the Barbican Centre in October 2022, running until January 2023, breaking records for the Barbican’s one-day ticket sales even before it opened. Due to popular […]
Diversity In Amateur Theatre – 5 Years On Has It Improved?
Back in 2020 I wrote an article about how amateur theatre is racist! You can read the original article here (noting that some language has moved on since I wrote the original article) and I would encourage you to read it to understand just why diversity is important to amateur theatre. 5 and a bit […]
Cinderella at Richmond Theatre
A visit to Richmond Theatre for Cinderella feels like stepping straight into a world of sparkle, laughter, and festive magic. This classic story follows a kind young girl who dreams hopefully of a better life, despite being treated poorly by her dreadful stepfamily. With the help of a bright and glamorous Fairy Godmother and her […]
2025 Stagey Round Up
2025 has been a great year for theatre and the perfect place to reflect on it is in my 2025 stagey round up. At the end of 2024, whilst I’m a musical theatre girl at heart, I decided that my aim in 2025 was to see more plays and this year I succeeded increasing my […]
Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas
On Sunday my 6 year old and I went to see Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas at the Garrick Theatre. Maddie, best known for her appearances on Cbeebies, Youtube and Maddie’s Do You Know, is well known for making STEM fun engaging and accessible for all ages and her live show did not disappoint. Maddie […]
Little Bulbs Nutcracker
On Sunday my 6 year old and I went to check out Little Bulb’s The Nutcracker, currently playing at St Martin’s Theatre, better known as The Mousetrap Theatre. Walking in we were greeted with some fantastic pre-show entertainment, a five piece mouse band playing all the classic Christmas favourites. We were all encouraged to sing […]
Beauty and the Beast at Fairfield Halls
With panto season in full swing my next panto outing took me to Croydon, more specifically the Fairfield Halls for Beauty and The Beast. Having somehow missed previous iterations of Beauty and The Beast as a pantomime I was intrigued to see how they would turn this traditional fairy story into a pantomime. This pantomime […]
Robin Hood at New Wimbledon Theatre
Panto season is in full swing and this was fully evident at New Wimbledon for their press night of Robin Hood. I do love a pantomime having grown up with them as part of my family Christmas tradition and later working front of House for a local pantomime for 7 years in a row but […]
Hunger Games on Stage
Hunger Games on stage officially opened just under a month ago and finally got a chance to see it. As a huge fan of the books I was apprehensive about seeing it and whilst I wasn’t anticipating a production identical to the books due to how different the 2 mediums are I was hoping for […]
