A Night at the English National Opera

November 26, 2015

I go to the theatre a lot. I see plays, musicals, ballet, gigs, cabarets, concerts and comedy. But something I very rarely do is go to the OPERA. It’s an art form I’ve never massively connected with, and if I’m brutally honest, one I’m slightly intimidated by. I get nervous that I won’t know what the chuff is going on, that I’ll get a numb bum from the sheer length of it, and that perhaps it’s just a bit too posh for me. But I am always game to try ...

October 27, 2015

UM SO HEY GUESS WHAT GUYS?! IN THE HEIGHTS IS AMAZING. Couple of weeks ago I was invited down to the Kings Cross Theatre to catch the Media Night of In The Heights.

Miss Saigon with TodayTix

October 5, 2015

Spending all my time underneath the arches in a fringe theatre venue at the moment (p.s the show is getting GREAT reviews come see us k thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!) it was exceptionally lovely to get the opportunity to venture out once again into the West End for a night of big budget theatre. I stepped blinking out of rehearsals at The Union Theatre and wandered over the river, into the hustle and bustle of Soho. And lemme just tell ya, as I sauntered past G.A.Y the happiest song in the world, ...
