A rare Wednesday off work, daughter in nursery and a friends birthday! Like I was going to miss a chance to catch a cheeky matinee but also enjoy a mummy day off and treat a friend to a great musical in London! Especially when a personal favourite is the leading man! The Phantom of the […]
This viewing had been on my priority list being one of my favourite performers was the lead and just announced his final date. It was also a show that if I didn’t go and see, my theatre friend Hayleigh whom I sadly lost the year before would be very upset if I didn’t go. So […]
Now this musical is one that I had been desperate to see, but due to its high demand the chance of a press night was slim – because it sold, very well! Then with a little one to look after a trip to London was slim too, but this year I was getting married…and when […]
I am privileged and proud to say that I have seen a lot of productions at the West End, but in the many years I’ve been going since childhood I don’t ever remember making it to see Oliver! So, when they announced that the successful revival from the Chichester Festival Theatre to the Gielgud Theatre […]
Like most 90s children, I grew up on a steady diet of Robin Williams comedy roles, and Mrs. Doubtfire was a strong favourite. I had slightly mixed feelings about it being made into a musical. What songs could they devise to fit this comedy? And who on earth would ever be able to fill those […]

The title of this post, taken from the musical’s website, summarises this one pretty aptly. Need I say more? I wasn’t alive when Spitting Image first aired on TV in the 80s, but I dimly recall my parents laughing hysterically whilst watching it when I was young. The epitome of political satire, its revival seems […]
Only Fools and Horses will always hold a special place in my heart. I dimly remember watching the Christmas specials as a child, and as one of my Dad’s favourite shows we watched many a re-run of the series. But even coming from that favourable standpoint, I struggled to see how they would make it […]
Rose Reviewer Harri Douglas kick started her 2023, with her first viewing in London this year! The lucky show was The Lion Witch & Wardrobe! lets see what she thinks: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is possibly my all-time favourite book from my childhood, andwhen I saw it advertised at the Gillian Lynne […]
Guest RoseBlogger Harri Douglas, headed into London to catch a few shows last December before the year was out! First up was Choir of Man: To be brutally honest, I was not especially looking forward to this one. Of all the shows I want to see it wasn’t in my top ten, possibly not even […]
