I cannot believe that I actually forgot to post this one! But another addition to recreating the movie feature and this time it is Monsters Inc! Meeting Sully at The Word in South Shields!
Currently a Monsters exhibition is taking place at The Word in South Shields so I couldn’t resist getting involved with the King Kong part!
This is my overview of 2017 at the Theatre which has been a very special year with plenty of trips to London and even a trip to New York and squeezing in some Broadway shows. All to go along with the trips to Newcastle’s Theatre Royal and the Sunderland Empire to catch the latest UK touring shows.
In 2016 I managed to see 31 shows. In 2017 I managed to see 36 shows! So just beating the 2016 total! You can see a list of all of these shows here. This also included trying to get plenty of deals and really using the day seats to help save money.
Show Date: Saturday 16th December 2017 (6:30pm)
Many years ago now I remember seeing The Lambton Worm pantomime at The Customs House in South Shields and how different it was talking on a folk song from Sunderland and transforming it into a very unique Pantomime. When they announced doing it again this year due to it being the 150th anniversary for the song, I just knew I had to go and see this show!

Here are the pantos that are running in the North East from now until January, dates vary for each show but well worth heading to the Theatre for some fun! Click on the posters for more information and to book tickets!
If any Theatre would like to send me tickets to come and review the show that would be fantastic 😉
Had to start with my closest at The Customs House in South Shields!

The Word, a national centre for the written word has just opened in South Shields over the weekend. A very impressive building with four levels, a library with many different sections for different ages. Interactive points, ICT amongst many other things. To go along with the opening they have decided to have an exhibition of most famous South Shields born film director Sir Ridley Scott. Obviously I was very quick to head across to check it out!

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!
