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?

I loved Warhorse, you just overlook the fact that those amazing puppet horses aren’t real, they are so convincing.

I know the thread has 2026 in the title, but have just booked ‘Just for one day’ for its extended run into 2027. Loved it in London, and now booked tickets for a regional theatre.

Also coming up in my Facebook feed is ‘Berlin, the musical’ , a new musical set around the Berlin Wall. The music has been released and is quite good. Don’t know when or where the show will come out.

I saw High Society this week and really enjoyed it. The whole cast were superb and the costumes were amazing. It was pure escapism.

I saw War Horse on tour about 10 years ago, it was amazing and had me in tears.

Abigail’s Party in Richmond this weekend- pre West End, will be interesting to see this new interpretation, will report back!

I saw the new Abigail’s Party recently, having seen the 2012 version. This new one is much better imho.

I am not a huge Tamzin Outhwaite fan but she was SUPERB as Bev. The staging is fresh and it was great fun. Thoroughly recommend.

Oh great thanks for the recommendation! I will book that as live not far from Richmond and adore Abigail's party, I've never seen it on stage!

Am I Losing My Mind Or Just My Figure? | Riverside Studios

I LOVE the Bitesize festival, lots of pre Edinburgh runs and it's really cheap, I've seen some great things there. This has been nominated for an Offie award and should be good I think

I am also going to go to this on Monday, I've seen other stuff by the writer which has been fab

GUTTED | Riverside Studios

We are booked for The Story at the National in October, also going to Edinburgh Fringe for 3 days so any recommendations are very welcome for that!

Am I Losing My Mind Or Just My Figure? - Riverside Studios

A bike, a bump and an excessive amount of roast beef blinis. A must-see for anyone navigating the beautiful chaos of womanhood. This strikingly original, physical and achingly human solo show hilariously tackles life, parenthood and what it means to be...
