It is no secret that I fan girl over numerous West End stars almost as much as I did over Backstreet Boys in my teenage years. Combine my love of these talented performers with the fact that theatres have been dark for a year you will begin to understand why I was so excited about West End Musical Celebration, a

It feels like perfect timing to be writing this review of Abba Mania on the day of Eurovision 2021. Theatre is back and so is Eurovision….and isn’t that just glorious?!
