The Color Purple by Sedos
When I heard that The Color Purple was going to be part of Sedos’ season I was excited for so many reasons. Firstly this is a show that I had heard so much about but never had the chance to see. Additionally this is a show that requires an all black cast, something that is […]
Wicked – Part 1
The Wicked film is something I have been waiting for ever since I heard the Broadway cast recording back in 2003. When the show transferred to the West End in 2006 it quickly became my favourite musical at the time and 20 years later I was thrilled that the show has made its way to […]

For those unfamiliar with Into The Woods, within this show you meet a slew of familiar fairy tale characters all of whom are in the woods for a variety of reasons. Tying the stories together however […]

Come From Away At New Wimbledon Theatre
Come From Away has been on my to-see list for far too long. The arrival of it back in London as part of a UK and Ireland tour was news gratefully received. Many friends had recommended it over the years, and I knew a little of what it was about, but nothing could have prepared […]
