Film and Theatre Lover!
On Saturday night I attended the premiere of the new production of Miss Saigon, in Newcastle. We were warned that the show could be stopped as it was the first time it was going to have the full proper performance. When that was happening I spotted Sir Cameron Mackintosh and he then spoke himself.
Then on the way out I managed to get myself a selfie with him!

Sad news broke this afternoon that Dame Patricia Routledge has passed away at the incredible age of 96! She had a truly amazing career which spanned across stage and screen, probably most well known and loved for her part as Hyacinth Bucket in BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances.
I was very fortunate to spend an evening in her company back in 2016 when she did a show at The Customs House in South Shields, where she talked about her life and career in a very intimate and lovely interview (read here). Rest in Peace Patricia ❤️

Sad news broke today that legendary actor Robert Redford passed away at the age of 89. A very well respected actor and director with a career spanning seven decades, taking on so many iconic roles, across many genres and in more recent years even being part of the Marvel Universe.
A true icon of cinema and so many memorable roles, he has been one of my favourite actors for many years and I feel as though the performances he delivers in All the President’s Men and The Way We Were being two of my favourites. His Oscar win came for best director for Ordinary People in 1981.
Rest in peace Robert ❤️
I did something special last month in terms of a cinema trip and all in one day, back to back I got to experience one of my favourite trilogies on the big screen again. This was the first time I had watched them one after the other on the big screen though and it was enjoyable as ever (well maybe changing the trailers before each one might have been a little bit better but never mind).
