I have a lack of experience on flights.
I’ve only ever been on two flights prior to this trip. One going to New York last time. And one going back home to London. I don’t remember much about those flights but it’s safe to say I was probably super nervous, having never experienced flying before as well as a Delta experience. This was…

Staying in a Travelodge and heading to New York.
Greetings, friends I am writing to you as I depart for New York City. The city that never sleeps. By the time you read this I will be on the plane. It’s like I’m meant to be here. I probably won’t get any sleep on the plane. Because I’ll so excited and also because I’m…

Five Convention Season Tips If You’re a Noob like Me.
Last weekend, I went to my first convention outside of London! Jen, Abbie, Jess and I attended the Telford Fanzone at the Telford International Centre in, you guessed it, Telford.

Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour @ The Duke of York’s Theatre
Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour follows six Scottish, Catholic schoolgirls who are on a trip to compete in a choir competition. Lee Hall’s adaptation of Alan Warner’s novel ‘The Sopranos’ is a fantastically funny and empowering play about a female friendship group, not once does it feel patronising, demeaning or ridiculing towards the six girls.…

Happy release day to the London cast of Dreamgirls! The cast recording is now available where good cast albums are sold. I attended the first preview (which you can read about here.) and I saw it again at the end of April. It was just as incredible as when I saw it back in November.…

The Philanthropist @ Trafalgar Studios 1
In case you are new here, the start of reviews is where I tell you what the show was about. I can’t do that with The Philanthropist, because fuck all happened. Starring an exciting cast of comedic talent like Simon Bird, Charlotte Ritchie, Matt Berry & Tom Rosenthal, this is sure to be a hit…

Month In Review: April 2017
I had an incredibly busy month in May. As much as I enjoy being busy, I am always grateful for a long weekend to relax. Here’s what I got up to in April! Books: The first book I finished was the play text of Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I picked this up as I was…

Guards at the Taj @ Bush Theatre
On Wednesday, I was very kindly invited to a Blogger’s Night at the Bush Theatre for a performance of Guards at the Taj. Directed by critically acclaimed Jamie Lloyd and written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph, the show follows two guards who are keeping watch as the Taj Mahal is built in 1648 India.…

Lea Michele @ Shoreditch Town Hall
For a born and bred Londoner, it seems like an obvious choice for performers to stop off and perform in the city. But it’s rare for a performer that I like to be performing just fifteen minutes down the road from me. You may know Lea from her Broadway career in shows like Spring Awakening…
