Catch Me If You Can By Geoids
Despite a Broadway run in 2011, Catch Me If You Can has never received a West End production or UK tour. Having only recently become available to amateur companies, I was excited to see Geoids bring this rarely performed musical to a London stage. The show follows a con man, Frank Abagnale and his time […]

I Was A Teenage She-Devil at The Other Palace
When I saw I was A Teenage She Devil described as a ‘queer 80s horror comedy rock musical,’ I knew that this was a show I needed to see. The show follows Nancy Nelson, a bullied outside whose desperate plea for help is answered by Satan himself, transforming her into the revenge fuelled rock chick. […]

Hercules at Theatre Royal Drury Lane
Hercules has been on my ‘to see’ list since it opened in June last year and thanks to TodayTix Rush I finally got to make that happen! The musical is based on the Disney musical of the same name and whilst I was behind the times seeing this musical – I am even more behind […]
