Press Tickets What can I say? As soon as I was invited to Ghost: The Musical, I knew it would be amazing. I eagerly anticipated the opening night and I was not disappointed. Unlike most of the shows I have been to see, Ghost is one of those films I have seen so many times, the words are engrained on my mind, much like Dirty Dancing. I was invited along...
Press Tickets Oh, what a night! Last night I was fortunate enough to be invited along for the press night for Sister Act at Bournemouth’s Pavilion theatre, situated just opposite the pier, conveniently located in the town centre. We were told to arrive around an hour prior to the show starting and were treated to a drinks reception with themed cupcakes and a goody bag filled with treats such as...
Press Invite Last night Jonathan and I were fortunate to be invited along to The Pavilion to see 42nd Street, performed by BBLOC, Bournemouth’s biggest amateur theatre company. I had never actually seen the show before so was able to go in with fresh eyes, not knowing what would happen in the storyline. The evening was really enjoyable (if a little hot in the first half due to the current...
Last weekend we travelled into London as we had tickets to see Les Miserables on the West End at the Sondheim Theatre (just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus). We decided to drive into Richmond from Bournemouth, park at the NCP and get the train into central from there which worked out quite well. I’d say we spent around £30 on fuel, £25 on the parking (this was for 24...
Press Tickets Last night my family and I were treated to front row seats at this year’s Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs Panto at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre and it was such a fun evening! Noel Brodie was back for his 9th consecutive year on the Bournemouth Panto stage, this time as fun and frolic filled Muddles, and it has to be said, he is the star of the...
Press Tickets It was back to the theatre for another show at The Pavilion in Bournemouth this evening. This time it was an amateur dramatics production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s much loved Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat (autocorrect keeps attempting to change it to Dreamboat). I hadn’t seen the show before and didn’t actually know what the story entailed, so it was nice to go into things with a...
Press Event If you’re wondering where to go to get your Panto fix this Christmas in Dorset, look no further than Bournemouth Pavilion’s production of Snow White. The legendary Su Pollard (of Hi-De-Hi fame) plays the Wicked Queen, joining firm favourite Noel Brodie, who has been a key part of the Bournemouth for Panto season for the past nine years, and the brilliant Jamie Steen, playing the part of everybody’s...
Press Tickets I wasn’t sure where to start with this review so I’ll begin at the logical place with the first scene. I’ve never been to a show before with quite so explosive an introduction. The stage literally lit up as Zoe Birkett burst onto the stage as Rachel Marron. With a group of backing dancers who certainly knew their way around big musical numbers, vocals that immediately had your...
Collaborative Post Ever since I remember I’ve loved listening to music. It can take a bad day and make it better, it’s helped me through break-ups, job losses and bereavements and it’s been there for the highs as well as the lows – weddings, the births of my children and special family occasions. These are some ways I listen to music in my everyday life. Live Music I never used...
Press Tickets If you know me, you’ll know how much I love the film Dirty Dancing. It’s one of those films I have watched more often than I care to share, and I probably know the lines better than is socially acceptable. I actually went to see Dirty Dancing on stage last time it was at Bournemouth, prior to covid, so I was really excited when I heard that it...
