Gypsy (West End) Review
2014 at the Theatre
In 2014 I managed to go and see 15 musicals and plays on stage in both the North East (Sunderland Empire or Theatre Newcastle) as well as trips to London to see them in the West End. I also caught Monty Python and a concert of Elaine Paige. It has been an incredible year for going to see plenty of shows and live acting. I honestly didn’t realise I had seen so many until getting ready to do this blog post.
Along with seeing an absolute icon in Elaine Paige in her farewell concert, I also managed a last-minute trip to see the legend of Angela Lansbury on her return to the West End after 30 years in Blithe Spirit. But it doesn’t stop there, I got to meet one of my favourite actors Bill Nighy after the incredible Skylight and an added bonus of Carey Mulligan! What a day that was.

Stage Door – Angela Lansbury
Before seeing Blithe Spirit on Wednesday I managed to catch a glimpse and a couple of photos of Dame Angela heading into the theatre for the matinee performance. She was quickly ushered into the stage door which was a little bit of a shame as there wasn’t really that many people waiting to see her go in.
