Film and Theatre Lover!
On Saturday I was lucky enough to see Kelsey Grammer in Man of La Mancha and head to the stage door to meet him afterwards. But it almost didn’t happen at all when the matinee was cancelled, luckily though I was in London for the Marathon on the Sunday so I could then attend the Saturday night when I had the chance (review to follow) so this happened and Kelsey was absolutely lovely!
Here we go with my run down of everything I managed to catch at the Theatre in 2018, this includes plenty of UK Touring shows coming to Newcastle’s Theatre Royal and the Sunderland Empire. I squeezed in a few London trips and even another New York trip thanks to my marathon place!
In 2016 I managed to see 31 shows. In 2017 I managed to see 36 shows. My total for this year 2018 was 26 different shows. Not as many as the previous two years, but still a very impressive number. Check out which shows here!
Located right in the middle of plenty of West End’s theatres, this cafe is a must visit for all musical theatre fans. Constant show tunes being played, reasonably priced coffee and other hot drinks all with Stagey names as well as stagey cups! See the Bat out of Hell the Musical cup in the photos! I just so happened to be sitting at the Wicked table, I seriously couldn’t have time it any better!
It happened!
After seeing Orlando Bloom on stage in Killer Joe, what an experience. I managed to get to meet him at the stage door as well!
My teenage dream certainly came true! My Legolas and Will Turner!!!
After the fantastic new musical version of An Officer and a Gentleman I just had to pop to the stage door to meet these fantastic performers, who I am certainly a big fan of having seen them in many different shows.
Ian was previously in Beautiful in the West End. Jonny was in the UK tour of Annie. Emma was in the UK tour of Annie Get Your Gun. They were all just lovely and doing the stage door on touring versions of the show are so stress free compared to the West End!
Just incase you missed it click here to read my review of this amazing show, with these incredible people in the leading roles!
On Saturday afternoon I went to see my all time favourite musical after it returned to the West End recently. Currently starring Oscar Winner Cuba Gooding Jr as Billy Flynn, I was then lucky enough to get a photo taken with him at the stage door! Such a lovely man. (Chicago review to follow)
After seeing the fantastic play with great performances I took a trip to the stage door to try and get my programme signed along with some photos, which was a very good and successful trip. 🙂
After being lucky enough to get a day seat for Glengarry Glen Ross starring Christian Slater I knew I had to try the stage door in an effort to meet the fantastic actor, who was one of my first crushes after being obsessed with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves!
Fantastic actor and lovely man, posing for photos and signing autographs with everyone at the stage door.
Couldn’t resist doing another stage door stop after seeing Young Frankenstein again. I love the show and the cast are just fantastic!
Thanks to these amazing actors for the photos!
After being totally blown away by John McCrea as Jamie New in the fantastic new musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie I just had to head around to the stage door to try and meet the star. It wasn’t a very long wait and he was just lovely! Signing my programme and posing for a picture.
