Top 5 Shows I Want To See

Hey Guys

I did a post on the best 5 shows I have seen on stage which you can read here which I wanted to follow that up by doing a Top 5 shows I want to see.

1. The Lion King

I feel like all my theatre friends even my sister has seen this show apart from me. Unfortunately I missed out on the school trip for this when I was in Year 7 because I opted for something else. I am hoping this is the one most likely on this list that I am going to go and see soon. I am a huge lover of Disney if you didn't know and I like The Lion King it's not one of my favourites but I would put it on out of choice and I am intrigued to see how it is going to be done on stage and how good the music will sound. However, the tickets for this show are very expensive which puts me off just a little bit and is the main reason why I haven't seen it yet. Lion King is on at the Lyceum Theatre in London.

2. The Jersey Boys

This is a musical that has been on my list for a very long time because I love the music of Frankie Valli and the four seasons so I think this musical would be amazing to go and see if just for the music because I think it'll be so good. This is on at the Piccadilly Theatre in London until March 2017 but is going on tour in December 2017.

3. Matilda

I loved this book when I was younger and was the only Roald Dahl books I actually liked, I also really enjoyed the film as well. Also I have seen on YouTube and from my theatre friends nothing but praise for this musical. From what I have heard and seen I am so intrigued and think I would thoroughly enjoy a flashback to something that was part of my childhood. This is on at the Cambridge Theatre in London.

4. Miss Saigon

This is one based purely on recommendations and good reviews as I don't really know what it is about I know war is one of the main topics within this play. However, this is no longer playing on London's West End but is planning on going on tour next year so I have my fingers crossed to try and get tickets.

5. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

This one I have been debating about ever since it was announced and only recently I have I come around to the idea of wanting to see it because it's Harry Potter and I want to grasp every bit of the Harry Potter world that I possibly can. I have read the play book that came out last month and too be honest I thought it was ok nothing special but I'm hoping it will translate better on stage, in my opinion the 2nd part is better than the 1st part. However, out of all these plays this one is the one I'm most unlikely to see due to the impossibility of getting tickets for it but I remain hopeful. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is on at the Palace Theatre in London.

Hope you enjoyed reading about what shows I want to see on stage. Until next time

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Signing

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...

Review: Beauty and the Beast Musical

In March, me and two of my friends went to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney films and I was excited to see what this interpretation had in stall. The fairy-tale was first adapted into the much-loved Disney animated film in 1991 and became a Broadway production in 1993. The show opens with the familiar voice of Angela Lansbury and the enchanting music that we all recognise and with the help of the beautiful rose projection we are transported into the magic. Director Matt West leaves the story exactly how it is, only adding extra bits of comedy here and there which the audience engage with easily. The cast all suit their characters and portray them to perfection. Grace Swaby- Moore, understudy to Courtney Stapleton, was the embodiment of Belle, she captured the innocence of the character and belted the songs to perfection. Shaq Taylor portrayed the Beast will emotion and ferocity when needed. His voice ...
