A rare Wednesday off work, daughter in nursery and a friends birthday! Like I was going to miss a chance to catch a cheeky matinee but also enjoy a mummy day off and treat a friend to a great musical in London! Especially when a personal favourite is the leading man! The Phantom of the […]
Ok so it has just been nearly a year, but the show is still making its rounds around the UK! I had spotted this show while looking at what was to come for 2024. A big dream of mine is to someday take Maisie to see a west end show, to work towards a two-show […]
My first viewing of the year, I was thankful that it was one that I was interested in seeing and lucky that my friend had kindly been treated with 2 of our other friends to a night in London as a birthday treat! After a splendid afternoon tea, it was off to the Apollo Theatre […]
This viewing had been on my priority list being one of my favourite performers was the lead and just announced his final date. It was also a show that if I didn’t go and see, my theatre friend Hayleigh whom I sadly lost the year before would be very upset if I didn’t go. So […]
Now this musical is one that I had been desperate to see, but due to its high demand the chance of a press night was slim – because it sold, very well! Then with a little one to look after a trip to London was slim too, but this year I was getting married…and when […]
I am privileged and proud to say that I have seen a lot of productions at the West End, but in the many years I’ve been going since childhood I don’t ever remember making it to see Oliver!

So, it is finally Christmas and I was delighted to be invited along to the press night of this years Pantomime at the Orchard West Theatre, Dartford. Having held a few events myself this month it was great to finally sit down and be part of the audience and what a great show to do […]
It’s Panto season! One of my favourite times of year. First up on the review list for this year was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre. Dubbed on its advertising as ‘The Fairest Panto in the Land’, I dusted off my best ‘HE’S BEHIND YOU!’ and headed over with high expectations. […]
Not content to wait another year for Cirque du Soleil’s next visit to the Royal Albert Hall, I started looking for something circus-based to fill the gap and came across adverts for The Acrobatic Swan Lake. The ads certainly made it look spectacular, so my friend and I took a chance and booked our tickets. […]
It was great to be back at the Orchard (West) Theatre this evening for a display of local talent, with Dartford Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society (DAODS)’s presentation of Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde the Musical is adapted from the 2001 film (which in turn was based on the novel by Amanda Brown). For those unfamiliar […]
