  • Peter Pan @ The National Theatre

    Peter Pan @ The National Theatre

    Last week, my friend Bliss and I took a trip to the National Theatre to see the Bristol Old Vic’s production of Peter Pan! I had read the book by J.M. Barrie earlier this year and was really excited about seeing how it translate onto stage. The National Theatre is fast becoming one of my…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Ah, Wilderness! at the Young Vic.

    So I realised I haven’t done many theatre related posts on my blog! I figure I’d start now as within the next month I have 1 staged concert and 2 (possibly) 3 musicals planned! :] I’m going to do an overall ‘shows you gotta see in London’ post at some point too! 🙂 On Friday…

  • It’s been a Jamie Lloyd start to the year at the theatre…

    Hey everyone! I’m here today with a theatre post for ya! So, last year I saw two productions that were fantastically directed by Jamie Lloyd. One was The Commitments, based on the Roddy Doyle book and the other was Richard III starring Martin Freeman. Both were so different from each other and a really great…

  • “SPREAD THE WORD! IT’S MISS SAIGON!”

    One of my birthday presents this year was a ticket to Miss Saigon! They had an extra matinee yesterday as the show was closed on Thursday due to filming of the Royal Variety Performance and the tickets were super cheap too! I absolutely adored it. The music/score is absolutely amazing and spine chilling and the…
