Monthly Theatre Obsessions: October

Happy Birthday Wicked!

The most fantasmical show in London, Wicked, turned 11 years old on October 30^th 2014. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long since Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth first took to the stage as the famous Witches of Oz. Congratulotions Wicked on a sensational 11 years!

The West End production is now being led by the epic Jennifer DiNoia, who made her debut on October 27^th, and the stunningly beautiful Savannah Stevenson as Glinda.

Who are your favourite Elphaba and Glinda pairing of all time? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Monthly Theatre Obsessions: September

PERFORMER OF THE MONTH

Hugh Maynard 

Back in 2004, Hugh began to play the character of John in MISS SAIGON for the first time and to date is the youngest person in the history of the production to have played this role. He has received rave reviews for his reprisal in the role of John and I have been obsessing over his voice this month! So strong, powerful and his range is stunning. His leading vocal in “Bui Doi” at West End Heroes made me sob; not just weep a little, or shed a tear – I sobbed with a heart overrunning with emotion from his stunning vocal performance. 

ALBUM OF THE MONTH

Collabro’s Number 1 Album, “Stars” 

They wowed the crowd with their flawless vocals at West End Heroes, and now, I am absolutely hooked on their album! Collabro stars Michael, Richard, Jamie, Matthew and Thomas all have stunning voices in their own right, but it’s the chemistry made between them which makes this band something unique and special. 

Monthly Theatre Obsessions: June

My first obsession this month is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, I saw it for the first time this month (read my review here) and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen! Such a fun show, Some of my favourite shows are the ones that you can just sit back, relax and laugh at and this is the one for that! A really good night filled with laughs and a cast to die for. The characters in the show have been cast perfectly, you can not fault the cast in this! I need to give a cheeky little mention to Katherine Kingsley, what an incredible performer! She is to just too perfect in this show! If you haven't seen this show already you need to get your bottom to the Savoy Theatre and check it out. Definitely my show of the month.
