North East Theatre – April 2016
Considering I spend quite a lot of time at the Theatre (although not as much as I would like) I thought I would do a post each month highlighting the shows you can catch in the North East of England. I haven’t come across many blogs which feature shows in the North East and reviews of shows at either the Sunderland Empire or Theatre Royal in Newcastle come from the local papers/press.
Here is what you can catch around the North East in April!
Tues 5th-Sat 9th – Oliver! (Amateur Production, Tyne Theatre and Opera House)
Sat 9th –Patricia Routledge In Conversation With Edward Seckerson (Customs House/South Shields)
This is something I am looking to get a ticket for as I think it will be really interesting to see the legend that is Mrs Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances talking about her career etc!

Theatre: Olivier Awards 2016 – Nominations
Awards season goes on this time in the Theatre world with the nominees being announced for the Olivier Awards which celebrate the West End (similar to the Tony Awards for Broadway). Obviously having managed to get down to London twice to see Gypsy I will certainly be rooting for that to win all the awards it has been nominated for!

Rocky Horror Show – Fancy Dress!
As you may already be aware The Rocky Horror Show has been in the North East this week and I went on opening night (in the front row) on Monday and again to a rather rowdy crowd gathering last night. Obviously I doubled up on my Columbia outfit, I did pay quite a bit of money for it so it had to be done!
