Blood Brothers U.K. Tour Review, Curve Leicester (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blood Brothers is a must see! I’m not sure if there’s a show that has ever made such a longstanding impact on me than Blood Brothers so attending the press night for it last night was such a full circle moment. It was the first show that i ever saw on the West End,…

Legally Blonde: The Musical at Little Theatre LOPS Review 2024
A fun and uplifting show with some 5 star elements Tickets gifted in return for a review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is there a more iconic movie for burning down the patriarchy than Legally Blonde? Possibly not.

Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula The Sea Witch at Curve Theatre, Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ tickets gifted For a pretty iconic character, Ursula was woefully underrepresented and underused in the story of The Little Mermaid.

Jarred Christmas ‘Silly Billy’ at De Montfort Hall
Press tickets for review. “An energetic show with giggles guaranteed from the fast-talking kiwi comedian” “Have you ever even watched a comedy show before?”. If you hadn’t picked up, Alex was sceptical about whether I’d enjoy stand up comedy. What Alex had failed to remember was yes, yes I had! And it was with him!…
