Aladdin The Musical

Hi Guys So this week I saw the Aladdin musical which has come to London’s West End taking up residence in the Prince Edward Theatre. I love Aladdin as a Disney film it has to be my favourite, the music is amazing. So it’s very intriguing how this was going to translate onto stage because it was either going to be very successful or very bad. I was apprehensive going into it because it is my favourite Disney film and sometimes directors change things and they don’t work or the actors are not to the standard of the characters. I can honestly say that this is the BEST show I have ever seen, it instantly became my favourite musical above the likes of Wicked and Les Miserables. As soon as Arabian Nights started I wanted to cry with happiness because I was seeing my favourite Disney film on stage in front of me. There are many changes they have made from the film such as no animals so instead Aladdin and Jasmine get given three friends which works wonderfully. There’s a few addit...

Beauty and the Beast Teaser Trailer Reaction

Hey Guys Hope everyone is okay, this is a bit of a spur of the moment blog post but I wanted to express my reaction to the live action Beauty and the Beast trailer that dropped today and what I think. First off I like Disney live action films though I have only seen two of them because I think they only work for the right kind of Disney film. The two I have seen are Maleficent which I liked at the time but not a huge fan of because I did not like the twist it took on the Sleeping Beauty story but Angelina Jolie is amazing as Maleficent. The other one is live action Cinderella which I absolutely adore and my love for this film is a blog post within itself. Here is a link for the Beauty and the Beast Trailer the film is out on 17th March 2017 (too long !!!!) Trailer First point is the music in this trailer is absolutely phenomenal and the traditional music you associate with Beauty and the Beast. The castle has this eeriness to it but is equally as stunning as it shows how be...

April favourites and review

Hi Guys Hope you are all doing well. Time for another monthly favourites and review for April. FILM: I watched 3 films this month which were The Huntsman: Winter War, Bastille Day and Captain America: Civil War. The obvious favourite is Captain America which really was amazing, however if you need to have watched Captain America: Winter Solider and Avengers: Age of Ultron to fully understand what happens in this film. I enjoyed The Huntsman but I had a feeling at the end of was that it and I thought the dwarves humour was a bit overdone and ended up being annoying. Bastille Day was very good involving a pick pocket and a CIA cop trying to uncover a bomb plot in Pairs. However I did think it was heavy focused on Idris Elba's character and they made Richard Madden's character a bit too much of a pansy when it came to fights. I did rediscover a film from my childhood as well as it was on Netflix and this was Anastasia which is about a Russian family who get cursed and Anasta...

March Favourites

Hey Guys Hope you are all well, that time again for another monthly favourites cannot believe that March has come and gone already it is crazy. DAY: I know this might seem like a bit of an odd one but my favourite day this month was my birthday which was on the 2nd, was a lovely day to spend with the people I love and the food we had from Apres was delicious. I was truly spoilt with presents and what was an added bonus was I put a bet on Adam Lallana to score against Manchester City I thought why not it is my birthday why not bet on my favourite player to score a goal, I didn't expect it to happen at all but it did so that made my birthday a little bit more special. FILM: I had quite a good month with going to the cinema I saw 3 films this month which were London Has Fallen, Allegient and Batman V Superman. My favourite was obviously Batman v Superman I loved it so much, I know it had bad reviews but I don't really read them because I prefer to have my own opinion a...

February Favourites

Hey Guys Time for a monthly favourites as it is the end of February already, I have no idea where the month has gone to be honest. Hope everyone has had a good February. TV: I haven't watched a lot of telly this month but one thing I did sit and watch was Grease:Live which was on ITV 2 and I loved it. I am a huge fan of musicals and all that jazz and have always been a lover of Grease. I loved the way they did it and how well it worked live, I was fine with the extra songs they added and the fact that they moved Hopelessly Devoted to You which I thought worked much better than where it is originally in the film. I loved the casting with musical theatre star Aaron Tviet playing Danny, he was Enjorlas in the Les Mis Film, Julianne Hough as Sandy didn't know she could sing as well as she can dance which is amazing and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo killed it and especially during what must have been a very difficult time for her. Two things I weren't keen on were the appearanc...
