Jo – The Little Women Musical feels like a production with undeniable scale and talent, still searching for its point of difference. With refinement, sharper pacing and a clearer sense of why this version of Little Women needs to exist, Jo could yet find its voice.Read my ⭐️⭐️ review here ... See MoreSee Less

Last night I headed to Theatre Royal Drury lane to see Jo- The Little Women musical. It feels like a production with undeniable scale and talent, still searching for its point of difference. With refinement, sharper pacing and a clearer sense of why this version of Little Women needs to exist, Jo could yet find its voice.

I finally saw @totoroshow and I regret waiting so long…. A masterclass in theatrical storytelling, blending exquisite puppetry and live music to transport the audience to a world where the ordinary and the magical coexist.

2016 throwback!
1. Website in its early days but started getting invites to press nights. This was for ‘Bumblescratch’ (look it up)
2. Performing and pole dancing in @bromleyplayers production of Rock of Ages
3. My love for Rocky Horror (and a leather corset) never fades
4. OG blurry programme shots!
5. Still Standing outside of theatres….not much changed!!

🎭✨ My 2026 Stagey Bucket List ✨🎭 If 2026 is going

🎭✨ My 2026 Stagey Bucket List ✨🎭

If 2026 is going to be the year of more theatre, this is what I’m manifesting…
From heading back to the Edinburgh Fringe, to discovering new venues, new am dram groups and prioritising accessible performances, this list is all about curiosity, inclusion and joy.

Some are long overdue, some push me out of my comfort zone – all remind me why I love theatre in the first place ❤️

Any recommendations to help me tick these off? 👀👇

My first show of 2026 is ticked off!! I headed to

My first show of 2026 is ticked off!! I headed to @bobhopetheatreeltham for the final Panto of the season and to support lots of friends!! So proud of them all!!

Panto is such a good way to introduce children to theatre but the price often prevents it! Please do check out local theatres as you really can’t complain at tickets at £14/£16!!

Kicking of 2026 with things I want to see more of

Kicking of 2026 with things I want to see more of in amateur theatre! I’ve got a new post up on my website today about diversity in amateur theatre, where I speak to individuals from societies who are doing things well and pass on some things we can all learn!

What would be on your list?

A slightly different kind of post from me 👀
Because I haven’t only been spending 2025 in darkened auditoriums…

This was the year I finally committed to the gym 💪 With the brilliant support of @bennottingham8 , I’ve hit PBs, built some genuinely healthy habits, and learned (the hard way) that done is better than perfect.

Heading into the new year feeling stronger, more balanced, and actually excited to keep this going ✨

I wouldn’t be a content creator if I didn’t produce one of these 2025 end of season posts would I!!

Had so many wonderful Stagey moments but a big thank you for following me and for reading my reviews!!

Here is my 2025 month by month round up in pictures!

From so many Stagey trips from West End shows like Hadestown and Back to the future, to fringe shows like @hotmess_musical & @themadones_uk to amateur companies from @bobhopetheatreeltham, @sedoslondon, @centrestageldn, @cygnetplayers through to activities such as @prisonislandmaidstone, @under__the__arches, @wearefairgame and @darkfield_org! Hope you have all had a wonderful 2025!

I saw 75 shows this year and I’m lucky that I saw the majority as press but here is a round up on the ones I paid for and how much I spent!! You’ll find a few @todaytix rush in there as well as several trips to support friends! What do you think the best deal was?
.
Also just an acknowledgment that I’m lucky to be in the position to afford this plus live close to London! Just remember it’s not how much someone spends on theatre that means they are a fan!

Shows include @wickeduk @pradawestend @theotherpalace @themousetrapofficial @bobhopetheatreeltham & more
