I was lucky enough to get to see this incredible show three times when it held previews in Newcastle, I fell in love with the show and thought I would put together a list with some reasons why you just have to see it in the West End. It opens at the Garrick Theatre tonight for previews.
I don’t really remember a musical really pushing itself on TV shows like this one has to help raise awareness and publicise the show. Something that I think it just wonderful, more shows should do this like they do with films and having the actors talk about it. I would love to see more shows follow this lead to really get Theatre out more on prime chat shows!

That’s right three incredible leading ladies and my personal favourite Cassidy Janson, along with Amber Riley and Beverly Knight have teamed up to become a supergroup. In terms of musical theatre this is such a huge deal and the album is going to be amazing!

Super exciting news broke last night that Broadway Legend Patti LuPone would be returning to London after a 25 year absence. I am such a huge fan and was lucky enough to get to see her in War Paint on my New York trip back in July. So to hear she was then going to be coming to London was very exciting. That also means I have already bought a ticket for October 2018. Yes, really.

Lesley Joseph always has been and always will be one of my favourites! I am lucky enough to have seen her in Annie a couple of times over the years. I was very excited when it was announced that she was in the cast for Young Frankenstein and she gets an incredibly amazing musical number with ‘He Vas My Boyfriend’ which she totally nails. It is hilarious and rather filthy at the same time, I guess that makes it even more brilliant.
She’s fantastic to talk to at the stage door and more than happy to pose for photos too, total legend!
