✨DARK OF THE MOON ✨

Had a mystical time in Buck Creek last weekend with 👀

Based on the play of the same name, this brand new musical - packed with country/bluegrass AND Rock songs tells the beautiful story of what happens when Barbara Allen ( ) a girl from Buck Creek, and John ( ) a young Witch boy, fall in love.

Sometimes, it can be a gamble with a new musical but ‘Dark of the Moon’ at the Charing Cross Theatre is a great example of what you can do! 🌙

✨MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO!🌿(PR INVITE)

Finally got round to enjoying the whimsy of Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece in the West End.

What a treat! (And may I admit, I haven’t seen the film!) - I gasped in wonder multiple times and the incredible design and puppetry. And now I want my own Totoro (if that could be arranged, please and thank you!) 🙏

I attended a BSL performance where the BSL interpreter was integrated into the cast, it was very clever!

Go and see it before it closed on the 10th January 2027! You don’t want to miss out!

I joined the Circus with the UK Tour of Cy Coleman’s Barnum 🎪✨

Circus acts, actor musicians and acrobats - Barnum is a spectacle you won’t want to miss!

Lee Mead knows how to lead a show and Monique Young brings so much strength and character to Charity Barnum.

How FABULOUS! ✨
Head to this week for a camp, energetic romp through the Australian outback. From wacky costumes to 80s & 90s disco classics, is a fun night out that you won’t forget! 🪩

Such an incredible cast too!

AVENUE Q makes a triumphant return to the West End in a fabulous new production at the Shaftesbury Theatre!

A stellar cast, some updated references and a laugh-a-minute book drive this show to success.
Dont be a muppet - Go and see these puppets!

🌊 SEA WITCH - A NEW MUSICAL 🌊
🎟️ 🎟️

Sea Witch - a New Musical, had its world premiere at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Sunday. I was invited to come along and review the show.

A stacked cast and some stunning songs made for an enjoyable evening. But if this show wants major commercial success, there are a number of tweaks that must be made.
