European Premiere of Christopher Robin


On Sunday, I was very lucky to attend the European premiere of Christopher Robin at the BFI Southbank in London. I got this chance after I won a competition through the Walt Disney Studios Facebook page after answering a question right and from that I won four tickets for the premiere. 



What a day this was, I could collect my ticket from 4pm, so we had a wonder around London first and visited various places such as the Disney Store, Toms and Spectrum Beauty who recently opened on Carnaby Street. We walked slowly over the Thames to Southbank and ate our lunch in the National Theatre and walked out to what we discovered was the behind of the premiere. We checked out what was happening and they were letting people in to go behind the barriers. Unfortunately, they were sticking to their 4pm ticket collection which was fine. So, we went back and collected the tickets which were so cute they had Tigger on the back. We waited for about 15 minutes before they moved us in, in that time we saw Hayley Attwell who plays Evelyn Robin in the film, get out of her car and have her photos taken which was a surreal moment. Then we got to walk the carpet, the actual premiere carpet and on our way in the voice of Winnie the Pooh/Tigger, Jim Cummings, nearly walked into my boyfriend, again a surreal moment.  




Once inside the BFI, they had decorated it for the premiere which was so cute and subtle. At the bar, they had some juice or water which was completely free. We sat and people watched for a while whilst we drunk our juice which was lovely and refreshing after a very hot day in London. We had to be seated at 5 so we went into screen which was NFT 3. It was a lovely little screen where we were greeted by Winnie the Pooh on the screen, added to the amazing treatment on each seat there was a little cinema goodie bag of dried mango, a bag of popcorn and a bottle of water. We had the best seats as well we were the back row, right in the middle so we had the prefect view throughout the film.



The best part of the day was just before the film started an announcer came into the room and introduced the screen to the director who bought and introduced all these people into the room such as Jim Cummings, Hayley Attwell, Ewan McGregor which was insane being in the room as all these incredible people it was a dream. I won’t say too much about the film apart from it is wonderful, everyone young and old needs to see it as I feel it has important life lessons within. 


This was a dream day for me, I can’t thank Disney enough for making the magic happen, they truly are the best company. It was a once in a lifetime experience I can’t believe I lived, me and my boyfriend love Winnie the Pooh so much so for us to experience this was magical. Disney truly make magic happen for people. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, 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 ...
