Rock of Ages at New Wimbledon Theatre
I was so excited to see Rock of Ages. I’ve actually performed in an amateur production myself but I had never seen the show live so I was keen to see what it was like when I was the other side of the footlights. The plot of Rock of Ages is wafer thin but this […]
Dirty Dancing at The Churchill Theatre
Being a dancer and lifelong fan of Dirty dancing, I was expecting to adore the stage adaption of the classic. But Did I? well I certainly did. Walking into the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, myself and my best friend and fellow dancer, were excited to be transported to ‘Kallerman’s’ and to be wowed by the […]

‘Love will set you free’. It is a very bold statement to walk into, it is also a statement that poses many questions. The singular quote hung on the back wall throughout the entire performance and during my journey home I sat thinking about how much truth this quote had. When I looked back on […]
Rocky Horror Show at New Wimbledon Theatre
I have a confession. One that I’m a little ashamed to admit. Even as a self-confessed musical theatre fan, I’ve never actually seen The Rocky Horror Show. The film or the musical! A fact my friend, who accompanied me to the New Wimbledon Theatre for the 2019 World Tour, was disgusted by! Even after affirming […]
