When it comes to visiting the theatre my views and preference of shows has definitely changed. I would always book to see the big productions such as Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Grease. I think because I loved musicals so much these where the obvious choices. However I am really enjoying all type of theatre at the moment and I have really been looking forward to the new play The Crown Jewels.

The 2023 UK Tour Has Come To An End - Check Back For Tour Updates

I have always loved musicals ever since I was a little girl. I grew up watching musicals such as Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Calamity Jane and The King and I. However one of my favourite was Annie. I watched it several times a week and would practice the dance routines in our living room. I must have drove my parents mad. A few years ago I went to the theatre to watch Annie the Musical. I was blown away. Everything about the show was fantastic from start to finish so when we got the chance to see the show again we jumped at the chance.

7 Shows I Want To See At The Theatre This Year

No comments

I have always enjoyed visiting the theatre, even since I was very young watching pantomimes around Christmas time with my Mum and Dad. There is something about a live show or musical that just makes me feel happy so whenever we can John and I head to one of our many local theatre venues for an afternoon or evening out. I have managed to see some amazing shows such as Six, Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins to name a few but there are some that I am desperate to see this year.

2:22 A Ghost Story

Brilliantly funny and intriguing; 2:22 A Ghost Story is an adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear. What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer. So they’re going to stay up until 2:22….and then they’ll know.

2:22 A Ghost Story is currently showing in London however the UK tour kicks off in September. For more information and how to book for London or the Uk Tour visit 2:22 A Ghost Story

The Crown Jewels

The Crown Jewels is a riotous new comedy based on the most unbelievable royal caper in British history. Charismatic and unpredictable Colonel Blood is planning the greatest heist of all time: stealing the Crown Jewels in plain sight. With a gang of misfits by his side, what could possibly go wrong? But Charles II can’t afford a royal scandal, and no King likes people handling their Crown Jewels…

This play has an amazing cast and with just 11 weeks in the West End before it heads out on a UK tour I know this will be a popular choice this Summer. 

Catch The Crown Jewels from 7th July and then the UK tour beginning on the 19th September. For more information and how to book visit The Crown Jewels Play.

Heathers The Musical

Welcome to Westerberg High where Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of a better day. But when she joins the beautiful and impossibly cruel Heathers and her dreams of popularity may finally come true, mysterious teen rebel JD teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it is murder being a somebody…

You can see Heathers The Musical until September in the West End but if you want to catch Heathers on tour you can right now until October. Visit Heathers The Musical for more information and to book tickets. 

Wish You Were Dead

Join DSI Roy Grace and Cleo Morley as they take their first family holiday together and a well earned break from their crime solving exploits.

Desperate for a bit of fun in the sun, they set off to France for a week of rest and relaxation, but things don’t go entirely to plan. When the humorous French hostess greets them at the eerie chateau they’ve booked in to, they begin to wonder if their week in paradise might become the holiday from hell.

The UK tour of Wish You Were Dead began in April however there is still plenty of chances to see the show, up and down the country until July.

Pretty Woman

Once upon a time in the late ’80s, Vivian met Edward and her life changed forever. Be swept up in their romance in this dazzlingly theatrical take on a love story for the ages – and get to know these iconic characters in a whole new way – in a sensational show that took London’s West End by storm, guaranteed to lift your spirits and light up your heart. 

Pretty Woman ends in the West End this June before it embarks on a huge UK tour from October '23 to September '24. For info and dates check out visit Pretty Woman The Musical

Wicked 

Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked imagines a beguiling backstory to the lives of L. Frank Baum’s beloved characters, and reveals the magic that shaped the destinies of two unlikely friends on their remarkable journey to becoming Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

I have seen Wicked twice so far once in London and once on its UK tour a few years ago. I cannot wait to see it again as it heads on tour again. The Wicked UK and Ireland tour begins this December and will run through to January 2025. 

Frozen 

Set the magic free with Disney’s spectacular FROZEN. The award-winning musical brings to life a world of sumptuous beauty, humour and iconic music in a jaw-dropping production to melt hearts of all ages.

When Queen Elsa’s hidden powers plunge the land of Arendelle into an eternal winter, her sister Anna sets out to find her and save the kingdom before it’s too late. But as the storm rages on, both sisters must learn that only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart.

Unfortunately there is no UK tour announced for this show so I will be heading to London at some point this year to watch Frozen The Musical

Visiting the theatre really is one of my favourite things to do. Do you like the theatre? Do you have any shows you would recommend?

An Open Book (UK Tour) Carrie Hope Fletcher

No comments

It's no secret I am a huge fan of the Fletcher family. Whilst I absolutely love McFly and pretty much everything they have written and performed my heart will always bring me back to the theatre. Musicals were my first love and I will never forget the day I went to the West End to see Grease for my birthday. It blew me away. I've never wanted to be on stage, I never had the dream but it did make me want to see every musical or theatre show I can. I'm doing pretty well so far and will always give something a try so when John bought me tickets to see An Open Book I knew I would love it because from what I had read, it would be songs performed from musicals by Carrie Hope Fletcher. What more could you want?

Waiting in the audience for a show to start is always an exciting feeling especially when you can see the staging. An Open Book stage set was made up of a comfy couch, bookcase, plenty of books, lots of dim lighting and a desk with a MacBook on. We soon find out once the show starts that this isn't a room in a house, we are in Carrie's brain. The cosy, comfy area where she likes to store her song lyrics and her memories. There is a problem though, Carrie needs to perform a show however she has had trouble writing it and needs the audience to help her create a perfect show and set list. 

Each night the audience have the chance to vote from a range of Carrie's memories which are then followed up with a song. A real fun and exciting idea for a stage show and a nice chance to hear some of Carrie's stories including 'A Saucy Scoop' 'A Tale As Old As Time' and also the chance for her share a funny memory of her brother, Tom, which she followed with her favourite McFly song. 

There were some set list pieces that won't change throughout the tour such as the opening numbers to each act and a few personal songs to Carrie. It was quite amazing to hear Carrie sing such a wide range of songs and be absolutely flawless. Each song looked effortless.

I won't share the set list as I had no idea what songs would be sung and I preferred the not knowing, however you can probably get the set list somewhere on the world wide web if you search.

An Open Book was the perfect chance for Carrie to show off her talent and also to be proud of what she has achieved. Not only has Carrie got some iconic roles under her belt such as Éponine from Les Mis, Cinderella and Veronica from Heathers she is also a best selling Author with 9 books in her catalogue so far and she's only 30!

Wish You Were Dead UK Tour

No comments

Disclosure - We have been invited to see Wish You Were Dead on it's UK tour. All thoughts and opinions are our own. This post contains affiliate links 

We have really started to enjoy all types of theatre shows recently and we have been looking forward to seeing Wish You Were Dead for a little while now. I first heard about it as Giovanna Fletcher was cast as Cleo for the first part of the tour (her run ended beginning of May). I've seen lots of reviews however I have managed not to read them as I like to make my own mind up.

Join DSI Roy Grace and Cleo Morley as they take their first family holiday together and a well earned break from their crime solving exploits.

Desperate for a bit of fun in the sun, they set off to France for a week of rest and relaxation, but things don’t go entirely to plan. When the humorous French hostess greets them at the eerie chateau they’ve booked in to, they begin to wonder if their week in paradise might become the holiday from hell.

Featuring a spectacular set with a few surprises and an all star cast including Clive Mantle, George Rainsford as Roy Grace and Katie McGlynn, Wish You Were Dead is a dark comedy thriller that takes the audience on a thrilling and entertaining adventure, as Grace unexpectedly finds himself totally out of his comfort zone and right in the line of fire.

Our Thoughts

Two words, loved it! When you don't really know what to expect everything is a surprise however I got a few more surprises than I thought when it had me jumping in my seat several times. 

There are lots of twists and turns and it was a great watch. Running time was just on 2 hours including a 20 minute interval. 

If you fancy going to see Wish You Were Dead then there are still plenty of dates left on their UK tour

23 - 27 May 2023 - Salford: The Lowry

30 May - 3 Jun 2023 - Dartford: The Orchard Theatre
