Review: All About Eve

Based on the 1950 film, All About Eve is an intense production about jealousy, theatre, love, friendship and ambition. Margo Channing is the best actress there is and the one everyone loves and wants to work for, she is then introduced to her biggest fan Eve. Doing what she thinks is right Margo takes in Eve who becomes her closest friend. However, over time Eve starts to find a taste for wanting the spotlight and becoming a big actress herself but where does that leave Margo? A stellar cast help tell us All About Eve, firstly we have Gillian Anderson who plays Margo Channing, Margo is the best actress and she knows it, she is shallow and very insecure but behind all that she is very vulnerable and Gillian portrays this amazingly she was incredible and we got to know the character and her thought process. Then we have the gorgeous Lily James as manipulative Eve Harrington, a very different role for Lily and she thrived within as she is very good at playing the sweet character t...

2019 Theatre Plans

As well as being a huge Disney fan I am also a massive Theatre fan particularly Musical Theatre. So I thought I'd share what my Theatre Plans are for 2019 because I really enjoy sharing and talking about the shows I have seen and are going to see.  All About Eve (Noel Coward Theatre, London) Picture credit: All About Eve Twitter The first show I am seeing this year is the play All About Eve which is playing at the Noel Coward Theatre until May. I will be completely honest and say me and my friend Amy booked this because Lily James is in and she's our favourite actress and we try and support her in everything she does but since then I have got a better grasp of what this play is about. It's all about a big star actress called Margo Channing who is being played by Gillian Anderson who's biggest fan called Eve played by Lily James comes into her life and I think all hell breaks loose from there. It's presented as a rollercoaster of a play that has a lot of jeal...

Live Action Aladdin Trailer Reaction

Disney being Disney dropped a new peek at Live Action Aladdin during the Grammys. Aladdin is my favourite Disney film and I was really apprehensive about the whole idea but the more I see the more excited I get about it. I quite like Disney Live Action films they give another dimension to the stories that we already love, Live Action Cinderella is my all time favourite. Also, I love having actual people as the characters it makes it so much easier when thinking about it and watching.  So the trailer itself is longer than the teaser we got a couple of months ago but still quite short in retrospect. Once again we start with Iago and the desert but this time at nightime to the Cave of Wonders which looks incredible. Whilst all this is going on we have the enchanting music of Arabian Nights which is amazing. We finally get a look at Jafar who has convinced Aladdin to retrieve the lamp from the Cave where we also get the full look at Aladdin and Abu who reminds me of Jack the monke...

Disney Videogames

I love gaming but I'm not what you'd call a hard core gamer at all but gaming has always been something that I have done. However, I'm very selective in the games which I play because I don't like the shooting, fighting, element of surprise games, I can't handle them they make me too nervous and panicky if I'm honest. My limit is Kingdom Hearts and with that I'm struggling to play it, it's so hard. What has inspired this blog post is in the recent year some classic games are being updated and re released such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon which I loved playing on the old Playstation 1. Also on the 29th January Kingdom Hearts 3 was released. I have a lot of Disney games for my Playstation One so I thought I'd talk about them and be a little nostalgic.  So my first Disney video game that I remember playing was on Sega Megadrive and it was a cartridge that had had a Mickey Mouse game and a Donald Duck game and you could choose which to play...
