A pocket of my life

I have loved anything to do with theatre for as long as I can remember, being part of an amauter dramatic group from the age of 4.  I have also seen a fair few shows over my years and I certainly intend to add many more to this list over time. This will be a blog post that will change with every future show that we watch. I find theatre such a world away from the worries for a while, you delve into someone elses story. So here is my list of show and when and where I saw them, enjoy.  Chicago - 29th June 2007 - The Cambridge theatre, London  Blood brothers - 10th May 2008 - Phoenix theatre, London Oedipus - 18th November 2008 - National theatre, London Three sisters - 3 February 2010 - The lyrics theatre, London Blood brothers - 24th July 2010 - White rock theatre, Hastings  Our house - 14th August 2010 - White Rock theatre, Hastings  Snow White - 23rd December 2011 - White Rock theatre, Hastings  Beauty and the beast - 21st December 2022 - White...

Today is world theatre day, a day I did not know existed until this year but hey. The theatre has been part of my life in one way or another since before I can remember. I have not only seen shows but have been part of many over the years too, my first appearance at the tender age of 4. I have always loved all types of shows including pantomimes, plays and of course musicals. I love the feeling of falling into a show and being immersed in the story.  Going back to performing, I have mostly been in amateur Pantomimes. Starting at 4 years old in the chorus and other small parts going to bigger roles and slowly growing to play the main role in shows such as Cinderella and Pocahontas. I have also done a play and have been part of a college course for BTEC in performing arts.  I haven't been in anything for many years but would love to again one day. I love being able to play someone else, to bring theatre alive and to just have fun.  I have also seen many shows, some more tha...

A couple of days ago we took a trip to Brighton to see SIX the musical on tour in the Theatre Royal, we were seated in the gallery, right at the top of the theatre, the view was limited but we still managed to see a lot of the show. SIX the musical is a show based around the six wives of Henry VIII, it's a modern way of telling their stories with an all female cast. The concept of the show is that each queen competes for who's story with Henry was the worst in a concert style until they all realise there common ground. The songs are very powerful to each character and are fact checked, the backing is created by four female musicians called the ladies in waiting. The show itself is very fast moving, vibrant and full of laughs and sass, it really is a fun show that makes you feel uplifted and brings history to life. Its suitable from aged 10 + and I would certainly agree with that. The costumes are bright and full of sparkle, they are very specific to the characters a...
