My DH and I have started going to the theatre Saturday matinees more regularly now our kids are older teens and we can leave them home alone on Saturday afternoons!!

We have booked Dracula so far as Australian friends have raved about it but wondering what else is coming out that people are excited about?

Got back earlier from watching ‘Barnum’, and really enjoyed it (despite the slight technical hitch).

Lee Mead was excellent, along side his co-star Monique Young, and also Dominique Planter (multiple roles) had an amazing voice. The show was high octane with a lot of circus acts throughout, and some of the trapeze work was amazing.

I absolutely loved the 80s Barnum with Michael Crawford, and still rank it as my top live musical theatre experience, so I was slightly concerned whether I should see it again, but I wasn’t disappointed. Lee Mead and the whole cast did a sterling job, and I came away satisfied.

Forgot to mention, yes, Lee Mead did do the tight rope, and got across successfully!

@Silverbirchleaf I saw it on Thursday and totally agree. It was a really fun night out.

There are some returns for the last week of Les Liasons! Just snapped 2 up, plus some for the Oresteia at The Bridge.

Thank you, just booked one for next week.
