General theatre fan but mostly musicals Often found at Theatre Royal Bath I review all shows that I've seen but I'm not a professional theatre critic Favourite show: Next To Normal

The Call To Stage podcast featuring Sam Ryder is brilliant. It was so interesting to hear Sam's thoughts on the world of musical theatre and I didn't know the story of how he somehow accidentally managed to make Andrew Lloyd Webber begin to consider him for the role of Jesus. Highly recommended!

I've booked some great seats at pretty reasonable prices for the West End. I haven't ruled out seeing it more than three times but am holding off for now. I know it's going to be my favourite show of 2027 - unless Maybe Happy Ending miraculously appears!

The Notebook: The Musical. UK West End premiere at Shaftesbury Theatre, March 2027. Nicholas Sparks' iconic love story comes to life on stage. Book your seats. #TheNotebook #WestEnd #Musical https://www.londonboxoffice.co.uk/notebook-musical-tickets

The Notebook - The Musical at Shaftesbury Theatre (Judi Dench Theatre)

Yes, I'm already obsessed! I've never read the book. In fact, I'm not known for being an avid reader of fiction. But I should maybe be able to finish this by March 2027, shouldn't I? It's only 207 pages! That's less than 2 pages per day!

There are so many cheap tickets available for The Notebook. It's like going back in time before the West End became so ridiculously expensive. I've been quite restrained so far and only booked to see it three times (in March, May and July).

Jane Eyre has closed and I'm not sure we'll be seeing it staged again anywhere anytime soon. Absolute shambles, Adam Blanshay Productions. My 'journey' to London to find out you'd cancelled the matinee wasn't 'truly special'. You lost the trust of your audience that day.

Best announcement I've seen - but there haven't been very many. And it wasn't on Bluesky. It's by London Theatre Direct who have an account on here but have never posted anything which is a shame.

So the news about The Notebook coming to the West End came out of absolutely nowhere. For me, it's the biggest theatre news we've had this year. And it's received zero excitement from the theatre community which I find a) bewildering but b) brilliant. Because there's no mad scramble to get tickets.

This is absolutely brilliant news. I'll finally get to see The Notebook. I'm so happy right now. 10th March to 11th December next year at the Shaftesbury Theatre. And London, it looks like I'll be back more often than I thought in 2027 after all!

Sorry, what, pardon? 2027 is beginning to look ridiculously good for theatre. It now looks as though we might be getting The Notebook next year. Their account posted this today. The Notebook is in my top three shows I've never seen but want to - alongside Maybe Happy Ending and Your Lie In April.

Another day and another indication of just how well this show is doing. I'm beyond thrilled for Connor and the team behind this uniquely special piece of theatre. I particularly love seeing how those people who are not necessarily Tour de France or cycling fans have become caught up in its magic!

Congratulations to @connordelves.bsky.social and our Director Mark Barford on their @fringetheatreaward.bsky.social nominations for CADEL: Lungs On Legs at @riversidelondon.bsky.social

Jane Eyre have been desperately promoting their show today. Their show which closes this Saturday. A show which never fails to surprise me with its bizarre decisions. I think it's very safe to assume Jane Eyre won't be transferring after this. And I know I promised not to mention it again but...

Just realised that I'm going to be seeing Back To The Future at Bristol Hippodrome just before the clocks go back that night. Sometimes the world throws up some wonderfully perfect coincidences.

Believe it or not, this is my 1000th post since joining Bluesky. Although I do all of this purely as a theatre diary just for myself really, I do really appreciate being associated with all you like-minded theatre kids who are brilliantly fab enough to have decided to follow me. Thanks everyone! 🤩
