  • Aladdin @ The Prince Edward Theatre

    Aladdin @ The Prince Edward Theatre

    So, the last show that I saw as a 19 year old with my pals was the absolutely outstanding production of Aladdin at the Prince Edward Theatre. Aladdin packs in lots of magic, additional scenes & songs and talent into bringing the popular 1992 Disney film to life. Led by Dean John Wilson as Aladdin,…

  • No Man’s Land @ Wyndham’s Theatre

    No Man’s Land @ Wyndham’s Theatre

    Another late review of a show I also saw back in September… oops! Better late than never, though, right? No Man’s Land is a play by Harold Pinter that, if I’m honest, still don’t know what it actually is about. The play is set in one room over the course of one night. It’s written…

  • The Last Five Years @ St James Theatre.

    I was so unbelievably excited last week to attend the first preview of The Last Five Years at the St James Theatre. Going into it, I already knew the show was going to be good. The show is one of my all time favourite scores. The production was directed by Jason Robert Brown who also…

  • The Bodyguard @ Dominion Theatre

    This is SUCH a delayed post! It’s only recently that I have decided to start posting more and more theatre content alongside my bookish content. But now I am catching up with shows that I have seen in September that are still running. So, today I bring you my review of The Bodyguard, the musical based…

  • Joel Dommett @ Soho Theatre.

    A couple of weeks back, I had seen on Twitter that one of my favourite comedians was doing a show at the Soho Theatre. Having seen Joel on stage twice before, both times being at the Soho Theatre, I knew I had to go again. This time was special though as the show was being recorded…

  • In The Heights

    If you have been following me on Twitter and/or Instagram since the start of the year, then you will have seen that I can’t seem to stop taking trips to see In The Heights at the Kings Cross Theatre. Last night was my 7th trip to el Barrio. From seeing the early cast members to seeing…

  • Vanities The Musical @ Trafalgar Studios 2

    Last week, Jen & I attended a performance of the European premiere of Vanities:The Musical. Based on the play of the same name, the show follows three best friends from cheerleaders in high school to sorority sisters to adulthood. The show spans from 1963 to 1974 & later from Texas to New York City. Due…

  • A Handful of Theatre | Musicals You Can Rock Out To.

    I have been thinking a lot lately, about the range of genres you can find within a musical, especially in recent years. The sun has also started shining recently which means I can spend hours walking again. And here are my recommendations for some great musical albums you can rock out to in the sunshine.

  • Jeremy Jordan at the Hippodrome Casino

    After much stress getting tickets earlier this month, my friend Olivia and I attended Jeremy Jordan’s concert in London last night! He did a 3 concerts at the Hippodrome Casino for his debut in London. I have been a fan of Jeremy’s for about four years now, ever since I saw Newsies perform on the…

  • Nell Gwynn.

    A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jade & I spent the day watching the Olivier Awards in Covent Garden. The Olivier Awards are basically the Oscars of West End Theatre. And one of the shows that stood out to me at the ceremony, was best new comedy winner Nell Gwynn. Nell Gwynn stars Gemma…
