But this week I am starting my first theatre trip of 2014, so I thought I would do a quick blog of my theatre land of 2013. <\/p>\n<p>I did go and see Dickens Abridged a 2nd time with my mate before it closed, and before the new year,&nbsp;but as it was a week after I saw it the last time, I choose not to review it by blog, though this time I got to see Kit Orton perform, and was on fit form after having time off for his bad throat!<\/p>\n<p>So with that last viewing of 2013, I was lucky to have gone to see 19 shows! Just the thought of that is just mad, and I am so thankful for all those opportunities. Highlights, I suppose would be that I finally saw Les Miserable on stage, and with that met all the cast, I was so excited and it really is an amazing show! then there is the fact that because of all these trips I know have 6 West End Stars following myself and twitter, and actually befriended one on Facebook, chuffed to say the least is an understatement. I also still love the fact that Jon Robyn&#8217;s still recognises me, when he see&#8217;s him! I&#8217;m already planning on seeing him on the 16th February for a concert that he is performing solo! But I also hope I get to see him perform in a musical at some point this year! But along with those highlights the shows I was able to see this year, were all amazing! its scary to think that at the end of this year, I most likely will not be able to display them on my bed.<\/p>\n<p>I can also state that a highlight this year will be myself making sure that I keep up my blogs on this site. ok yes some of them have been quite late after I have seen the show, but they always will be on here when I get round to doing it. It has really helped me express my love for theatre, and the fact that&nbsp;I have over 2,000 views is more than I could have asked for! <\/p>\n<p>With 2013 over and 2014 here, what does this year have in store for myself? Well on Tuesday I will be venturing to my favourite city London, and for the first time I will be entering the National Theatre to go and see there production of &#8220;The Light Princess&#8221; the reviews say that its amazing and I haven&#8217;t heard anything negative about it so far, so before it closes on the 2nd February I had to find someone, and purchase tickets! Looking forward to see what the National has created now would be nice to see a musical having seen two plays that they have created! (Curious, and WarHorse) I have also purchased tickets to go and see Harry Hill&#8217;s &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Sing, The X Factor Musical&#8221; at the London Palladium in March during its previews! Looking forward to finally seeing Simon Lipkin performing with a muppet again! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p>That is the 2 theatre tickets I have purchased so far, but I am hoping this year, and my want to see view list is:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Book of Mormon<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">WarHorse<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">We Will Rock You (to see Oliver again!)<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Les Miserable &#8211; please!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Urinetown<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">WestEnd Eurovsion once again!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Those are priority, but I&#8217;m sure there should be new ones appearing that I would love to go and see and get tickets and no doubt you will be reading it for your pleasure to assist you in what you would like to see. <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">I leave you now with my programme collection through the beginning and end of 2013, and you can dramatically see the difference! <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_1982.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_1982.jpg\" height=\"239\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/600619_10151386804620448_176275845_n.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/600619_10151386804620448_176275845_n.jpg\" height=\"223\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1779290_10151826000905448_790209111_n1.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1779290_10151826000905448_790209111_n1.jpg\" height=\"212\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">WATCH THIS SPACE! 2014 BLOGS to come! <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\ufeff<\/div>\n<div class=\"twttr_buttons\"><div class=\"twttr_twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Welcome+2014%21+-+an+overlook+of+2013.\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"\" data-hashtags=\"\"  data-size=\"default\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.rosereview.co.uk\/?p=9\"  data-related=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome viewers to 2014, I know that I am 26 days late to wish you this.
