2017 !



In the words of Albus Dumbledore "Another year gone"

It's crazy to think it's already 2017, seriously where did 2016 go, it was a blur personally for me a good blur but a blur nonetheless. 2016 was a massive year of change for me as I finished university in the June and have been in my retail job since August. Also, I got to experience some amazing things such as seeing Romeo and Juliet on stage, I saw Aladdin, I got to see Ronan Keating perform live which is huge childhood dream come true, I also met one of my favourite people again in Carrie Hope Fletcher, as well as many more other things. I'm hoping 2017 can be filled with more exciting experiences that I cannot wait to share.

This year I am FINALLY going to Disneyland Paris for my birthday end of February/ beginning of March. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Disnerd and going to Disneyland is an absolute dream come true which I will be sharing as much as I can. Along with this in a couple of weeks, I am visiting the Football Museum in Manchester which I cannot wait to explore as I have never been to Manchester. Hopefully, I will be going to see Cinderella as a ballet which is exciting as I have never seen a ballet. At the end of March I am going to see Olly Murs at the Genting Arena and then a few days later going to watch Billy Elliott the musical at the Hippodrome which I have never and I'm quite excited about it. Then skip to the end of the year in November I am finally going to see John Bishop at the Barclaycard Arena which I cannot wait for. I still have enough time to fill with all other plans which there are loads in motion currently as well as working hard to be able to fund what I want to do.

I realise lately that I haven't done my best on this blog because I have just been so busy so I want to post at least once a week on here with a variety of different content particularly more about books and Disney especially and just anything else I want to share.

Wishing everyone an amazing 2017

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 ...
