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
I've just booked to see Redcliffe. I love the personalised videos you sometimes receive after ordering.
Theatre Review 87 The Sea ⭐⭐⭐ Theatre Royal Bath Saturday 7th November 2026
Theatre Show 87 Show: The Sea Theatre: Theatre Royal Bath Review to follow. Exciting to see steps up to the stage next to my seat. Very intriguing!
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!
Following yesterday's verdict, obviously I have zero thoughts for that disgusting, despicable excuse for a human being. All my thoughts are with the brave victims. We always believed you.
Such amazing news. The Criterion will be a lovely venue for Redcliffe. It will be my first time back there since Two Strangers. Tickets aren't on sale though until this Thursday.
Redcliffe transfers to the West End. The acclaimed musical — "a masterpiece" (WhatsOnStage) — opens at the Criterion Theatre from 28 Jan. Secure your seats now. #Redcliffe #WestEnd #MusicalTheatre #Theatre https://www.londonboxoffice.co.uk/news/post/redcliffe-to-transfer-to-west-end
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
Nia Towle walked past me on the street this morning. Been a huge fan since Stereophonic. 🤩
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.
Theatre Review 86 Back To The Future ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bristol Hippodrome Saturday 24th October 2026
Theatre Show 86 Show: Back To The Future Theatre: Bristol Hippodrome Review to follow.
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.
Just when I'd convinced myself that I wouldn't be going to London so much in 2027. YES, JORDAN!!!
The list of shows which will feature at Theatre Royal Bath for 2027 is possibly the best I've ever seen. It's going to be an exciting year at my favourite theatre. I'm particularly looking forward to this one.
Tom Chambers has been announced as the latest casting for the world premiere stage production of Before I Go To Sleep theatreweekly.com/tom-chambers...
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...
The holy trinity of theatre reviewers. I assume this must have been recorded for a future primetime BBC1 broadcast, yes? If not, we'll settle for a podcast version please.
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.
Theatre Review 85 Jane Eyre ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Southwark Playhouse Elephant, London Saturday 17th October 2026
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! 🤩

I'm thrilled that Connor's show is getting so much love during its London run. Having seen it at the last two Edinburgh Fringes, I've always loved it. It's so great that you did too, Louise.
