2017 !



In the words of Albus Dumbledore "Another year gone"

It's crazy to think it's already 2017, seriously where did 2016 go, it was a blur personally for me a good blur but a blur nonetheless. 2016 was a massive year of change for me as I finished university in the June and have been in my retail job since August. Also, I got to experience some amazing things such as seeing Romeo and Juliet on stage, I saw Aladdin, I got to see Ronan Keating perform live which is huge childhood dream come true, I also met one of my favourite people again in Carrie Hope Fletcher, as well as many more other things. I'm hoping 2017 can be filled with more exciting experiences that I cannot wait to share.

This year I am FINALLY going to Disneyland Paris for my birthday end of February/ beginning of March. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Disnerd and going to Disneyland is an absolute dream come true which I will be sharing as much as I can. Along with this in a couple of weeks, I am visiting the Football Museum in Manchester which I cannot wait to explore as I have never been to Manchester. Hopefully, I will be going to see Cinderella as a ballet which is exciting as I have never seen a ballet. At the end of March I am going to see Olly Murs at the Genting Arena and then a few days later going to watch Billy Elliott the musical at the Hippodrome which I have never and I'm quite excited about it. Then skip to the end of the year in November I am finally going to see John Bishop at the Barclaycard Arena which I cannot wait for. I still have enough time to fill with all other plans which there are loads in motion currently as well as working hard to be able to fund what I want to do.

I realise lately that I haven't done my best on this blog because I have just been so busy so I want to post at least once a week on here with a variety of different content particularly more about books and Disney especially and just anything else I want to share.

Wishing everyone an amazing 2017

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Wallace Collection: Inspiring Walt Disney

Earlier this month I booked tickets to see the new Inspiring Walt Disney exhibition at the Wallace Collection in London. This is about how French design inspired Walt Disney in his films especially Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. The exhibition is located on the bottom floor of the building, and you can either pre book your slot or pay when you get there. There is also an optional digital tour guide and head set for free, which I did pick up but struggled with the headphones so ended up listening to bits I wanted to as opposed to the whole exhibition. I would recommend picking up one if you have time and you are really interested in the animation side, as they speak to the animators at Disney and how they produced the various ideas for the films. The exhibition starts with a quote from Walt Disney on the wall. It then goes into how Walt visited Europe for holidays and to gather visual references for his films. There was a black and white film of Walt and his family on holiday in P...

Review: Disney's Newsies

For my birthday my fiancé bought tickets to see Disney’s Newsies at the Troubadour Theatre in Wembley. This show opened in November and has just extended its run until 30th July. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was blown away with what I saw. Background This musical is adapted from the 1992 Disney movie News Boys. Based on the true story of the Newsboys strike in 1899 in New York against the papers of Joseph Pulitzer after he put the prices of their bundles up. The original musical opened on Broadway in 2012 and was filmed live on stage in 2017 which you can watch on Disney +. This is the first time that UK audiences will be able to experience this new innovative production. Staging I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into the theatre and I was in awe of the staging. You have the main stage which has the metal structure but around the outside of the seating they had extra structures that the actors ran around and up and down to get around and back onto the stage. It has to be...
