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 […]
For the second year in a row, our circus crew gathered and headed down to the Royal Albert Hall for this year’s Cirque du Soleil performance, Alegria. Billed as the most iconic Cirque du Soleil production, I was expecting great things. If you have seen Alegria previously, this spectacle might look a little different. This […]
With summer holidays in full swing, its great to see so many things that kids can do during this time. My friends messaged me a few months back showing me this immersive experience that was being held at Westfields in London – at first i was like a theatre show in a shopping centre, how? […]
I was so excited about returning to the Churchill Theatre, for this weeks opening night of the bran new tour of the classic Rocky Horror Show, having seen this show a fair few times that didn’t stop me from returning and viewing again especially with this production bringing fresh new talent to the musical! It […]
This was a new one for me. I like a good thriller, but Anthony Shaffer was a little before my time. Before tonight I’d never seen Sleuth – in the theatre or the 1972 film starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine – but when the Orchard Theatre (West) contacted us to say it was on, […]
Following the past weekend viewing, I was excited that it wasn’t too long until myself and Maisie’s next theatre trip! This time however, was a little more accustomed to the little ones! So, on a chilly April morning we were off to Orchard West theatre for the current production Zog and the Flying Doctors. Zog, […]
Being a mother, who loves theatre is hard when you have a toddler. Its harder to just get up, purchase tickets and make your way to a theatrical performance that it used to be. Not that I’m complaining as she means the world to me, because it is a dream that one day I might […]
I was so excited to be returning to the Orchard West, the temporary accommodation for Dartford’s local theatre while the Orchard currently undergoes construction following closure last year. But what a temporary arena it is, fitted with bars, toilets and a big lobby that blows you away when you enter. Although not all touring productions […]
Like most 90s children, I grew up on a steady diet of Robin Williams comedy roles, and Mrs. Doubtfire was a strong favourite. I had slightly mixed feelings about it being made into a musical. What songs could they devise to fit this comedy? And who on earth would ever be able to fill those […]
