This is the 2nd time seeing this man perform with his broadgrass band and yet again he did not disappoint, he went totally off set list and we probably got more songs and a set in the totally wrong order but it was SO good!<br />
<br />
His interaction with the audience alone was just fun and laid back and he had such gratitude for people being there and supporting and he wanted them to have a good time and gave opportunity to an upcoming singer to perform with his just shows he has a big heart.<br />
<br />

If you do not know who he is then where have you been? He has played some of the top iconic Musical theatre roles known, Jean Valjean, Enjolras, Marius, Phantom (Adam) in the phantom of the opera and Love Never dies, Chris in Miss Saigon, Ché in Evita and General Gleb Vaganov. Broadway and West end he is top of his game.<br />
<br />
But he also writes his own music so this tour he does with his broadgrass band bring a bit of all he loves into one singing, songs from roles he has played, songs he wrote, songs he likes etc.<br />
His versions of Til i hear you sing and Bring Him Home from Phantom and Les Mis get me every time, goosebumps and a tear or two.<br />
<br />
And new to the act were a few songs from The Greatest Showman! If we need a Barnum for Stage version of this movie, Ramin is your guy for sure!<br />
<br />
A great evening with beautiful performances and a lot of laughter!<br />

Well this was a day of firsts, first day seeing a production at the Manchester Palace Theatre and First time seeing this epic production.<br />
Now i love the movie, i love he 25th and 10th anniversary DVDs, i am a fan of many person who has appeared in the production, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Ramin Karimloo etc.<br />
And i like everyone i am sure no the songs.<br />
i knew it was going to be good, i was so excited to see it and in such anticipation. But i didn't expect it to be as good as it truly was!<br />
<br />
Cast- all amazing i won't name them all but we had an understudy for Jean Val jean (Zac Hamilton) my god that guy gave me goosebumps he was just as good in that role as some of the big names so never complain you have an understudy they are honestly just as good if not better! Katie Bell (Fantine) amazing performance going from Cosette to that just seemed such natural transgression and did it so well!<br />
Nic Greenshields (Javert) scary, mysterious great vocals and great stage presence for such a iconic villain. Martin Ball and Sophie-Louise Dann (Thénardiers) hillarious added there own and yet familiar spin on 2 iconic characters.<br />
Will Richardson (Enjolras) my fave character the chivalry and pride and leadership that just makes you love him and his cause, the vocals were epic and delivered with such passion for the cause.<br />
Marius and Cosette (Harry Apps and Bronwen Hanson) young love sang so well and Harry singing empty chairs and empty tables broke my heart i cannot believe this was his theatre debut!<br />
<br />
And whoever played our Gavroche! I'm not 100% but i just love that character anyway and the lad who played his did it so well!<br />
<br />
All cast were truly amazing and great in there roles these are just ones that stood out most to me in my experience.<br />

<br />
<br />
It is <span style="background-color: yellow;">such </span>a dark and oppressive musical, and it is a long musical this production is 2hours 55mins and is the new version from the Broadway staging that will not inhabit London from not on, no no evolve. i have no comparison but i saw nothing lacking or missing from there not being a revolve. The effects the use for the battle and the deaths were beautiful with the lighting and sound really being used well. The use of candles as representing the fallen during empty Charis/ Turning really made the scene in the darkness of the theatre and the affects used during Javerts death on the screen and how they made him 'fall' were so well executed and nothing like i had scene in theatre before.<br />
<br />
it is so much more than a musical it is a story and based on a story and done so well! you feel your there you feel how they feel, every tear you weep is for those characters and that story. and having now seen it I now understand why it has stood the test of time and why it will continue!<br />

Taking songs from their Road to the Royal Albert Hall Album and a few extra songs that made them most famous this night was such a feel good night with the best acoustics I have ever heard and the best vocals i have ever herd! gosh the power the have!<br />
<br />
There warm up act as Georgia and the Vintage youth, a Woman front band with her on piano and a drummer and saxophonist, they have the sounds of the oldies with new lyrics, some of which humorous and gritty!<br />
<br />
Also as a support act was the amazing Kerry Ellis who sang 3 songs alone and one with the boys and she was amazing! If you do not know her she played some majorly iconic parts in her career, Elphaba in Wicked, Meat in We Will Rock You, Nancy in Oliver! and Grizabella in Cats to name but a few!<br />
her 2 songs one alone and with the boys songs from the greatest showman were amazing definitely a contender for a part if they ever turn it into a stage show!<br />

Singing songs from musical theatre to the jersey boys and then to Motown. what can they not do!?<br />
<br />
There banter between the audience and between themselves was hilarious and it was so natural and feel good it was a really lovely evening! dancing along, singing along crying along. it made for an amazing tour so is a definite must see.<br />

I did not know really what to expect. I'd Read the book as a child and seen the movie but not really seen or herd too much about the musical. I was a fan of Tim Minchin having seen his comedy routines a few times then in Andrew Lloyd Webber re imagining of Jesus Christ Superstar and knew he understood musical theatre and the power of song so i knew we were in good hands in that case.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as it started the talent just oozed from the kids , almost as good if not better than the adults. Do bare in mind it is very kids orientated having gone during half term it was full of kids!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was comedy some dry enough for kids some cheeky enough for the Adults and the topic through out related to both ages groups too. and it also kept the whole message about the power of reading very much apparent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cast were great you hated Mrs Trunchbull and you adored Mrs Honey and loved Matilda and Bruce! The staging was so loud and creative with the letters all scrabbled all around the stage framing each scene (how many words could you find?) and the use of alphabet cubes for chairs and the kookiness of Matilda's house to the gloom of he school set each scene perfectly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the stunts/ special affects especially in that iconic scene with the pigtails! Just wow!</div>

Now the songs were good some definitely better than others some maybe not delivered at best to be able to keep the story ticking at a good pace sometimes i was a bit like whats going on? or get on with it? slightly hard engagingly. some of the number were just brilliant, my heart broke for 'When i Grow up' but also my heart sang like it was a anthem, and 'Revolting Children' gave a great send off to that wicked teacher Mrs Trunchbull and showed off the children's amazing talent well during that performance. And then you fell in love with Matilda during 'Naughty'</div>

I loved the film and i loved the TV series more and now i love the musical. On parts it was a bit slow but it kept building and by the end the energy was there when it mattered when they sung the beautiful song 'bring on tomorrow' where i could even see the cast getting emotional the passion really came out then and the song is a beautiful emotional power song.<br />
Mischa Paris stole the show with her effortless renditions and Jorgie porter danced so elegantly along side Jamal Crawford as Tyrone channelling the iconic character in the movie hiding his emotion behind his street persona that finally breaks. Keith Jack was wonderful as Nick and the less well known stars Stephanie Rojas as Carmen and Molly McGuire as Serena gave such powerful emotion filled performances Stephanie especially held her own in the most iconic movie song 'Fame'.<br />

10am we saw cheap tickets on sale 2.30pm we were sat in our seats!<br />
3rd time seeing this show and it did not disappoint! We actually had the understudy Elphaba Nikki Bentley which was also special as the 2nd time i saw wicked on the last tour we had the understudy Jodie Steele. And as understudies taking on the role they knocked it out the house both times for me so i am never disappointed to see an understudy!<br />
Special mention to Aaron Sidwell who play Fiyero! Really amazing so laid back and comfortable in the role and an amazing vocal performance from him and all the cast!<br />
<br />
This musical is and will be up there as a classic musical next to les mis etc. Its story is amazing, the set, the score, the lighting and sound and the costumes all have made this show so fun and unique and powerful and even on tour it does not lower its standards it is just as amazing on any stage you see it on. And having seen it 3 times already theres always something new you notice.<br />

When the email came through offering cheap tickets for this show i thought why not! And it did not disappoint.<br />
Previously i know the tour had some more known stars in its cast but at my venue none of those known names were in it but the cast we had were just as great.<br />
Another juke box musical the story was nice a group of people all needing answers to some of life's dilemmas head to a old record store now a cafe to speak to the preacher Man who used to give advice in the 60s, though he is know longer there his son is but his approach to helping is not as robust as his fathers way and so so e hurdles occur. All people involved get a happy ending of course. The thing that i liked most is the diversity of the stories. Not so typical the problems they face include a girl who fancies a guy on an internet dating site whose nan died and was secretly a rich lady which turns the girls life upside down. A woman who was a teacher and thinks she falls in love with her student and the student falls in love with her ( i won't spoil the outcome of the one) and a Gay man who is looking for a lost love he met at that record shop in the 60s. Such diverse issues and controversial to some but issues that are a constant presence in our culture now nevermind in the 60s as well it brings it all together!<br />
The story wasn't as strong in some areas, in places i felt it was a bit slow and spent too much time on some parts of the story rather than others. But maybe still being a new musical needs tweaking here and there but it has major potential! The songs were great with the sounds of the 60s with Dusty Springfield's songs and the 60s flashbacks to the record shop in there amazing 60s fashion. It was nostalgic and inspiring. You'll be singing and dancing by the end and all the way home.<br />

You have probably heard a Frankie Valli and The Four season song without even realising. Alot of there songs shaped there era and the next ones and also created a musical and movie based on their story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had seen the movie before the musical and loved that but heard the musical was far better and they were not wrong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jukebox musicals can be a bit like marmite. Not every ones cup of tea but this is honestly one of the good ones! There is enough dialogue to song ratio and the songs actually link in with the story so they don't cheat and just add loads of songs in, like some juke box musicals do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cast were amazing all previously done the roles either on tour west end and with a great back catalogue of musical credits the songs were put into great hands to <span style="background-color: yellow;">be </span>sung well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The songs! From Beggin' to Oh what a night to My eyes adored you each broke your heart, made you sing along or got those toes tapping. A total audience standing ovation and finale dance ended the show on a high, i would have liked a quick medley at the end but they didn't but still you came out singing the songs all the way home</div>

What a lovely afternoon. We started with a lovely afternoon tea at Patisserie Valerie which was so lovely. Afternoon tea always looks like not alot to eat and you would manage it until you get 2 layers in and you start doubting yourself and give up so get the rest boxed up !<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GBLm9CL1K_Q/WlZOCnYhWiI/AAAAAAAAB3w/kPTVJK7712MtJVaR8TJD6JAVDMNMPgmEgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180110_155537_334.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="509" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GBLm9CL1K_Q/WlZOCnYhWiI/AAAAAAAAB3w/kPTVJK7712MtJVaR8TJD6JAVDMNMPgmEgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20180110_155537_334.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
We then headed to our local Cineworld to see the highly anticipated The Greatest Showman.<br />
Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum creator of the Barnum & Bailey circus. Set in New york it tells his story. The highs and lows. With emotive and foot stomping songs this is an inspiring story of dreams and imagination.<br />
With the legend Hugh Jackman playing the title role of Barnum we were already onto a winner. Accompanying him were Michelle Williams as Charity, Barnum's wife with a beautiful voice, Zac Efron as Phillip Carlyle who finally got rid of that cheesy high school musical voice for a really lovely toned voice and really made held his own and showed of his honestly amazing talent! Good career move Zac!<br />
And the rest of the cast were amazing too some new faces we will most likely see again after this performance.<br />
<br />

It reminded me visually of Moulin rouge but musically held its own with its modern song and dance yet setting in Victorian era.<br />
From that first songs your toe was tapping and by the end they were stomping along, you may cry and you may cheer. It gives that much.<br />
<br />
A definite must see, they need to make it into a stage show though now !<br />

<br />
Well, 2017 what can i say, this year you changed me. I left a job and got a new one which is the best job i have had and i love it. I can see me making progress within it and making a career hopefully!<br />
With this job in turn came more confidence. I used to hate going to new places and doing new things alone but i bit the bullet and did these and its felt so good the feeling afterwards and praise i get from everyone as well.<br />
I did more of what i love. Visited york finally! Go to my fave coffee shop, listened for hours to my fave radio station, go to car shows (a new hobby the boyfriend dragged me to but of which i now love!) And visited the theatre more! God i love the theatre and musicals! I saw loads this year, Ramin Karimloo, Addams family, Cilla, Joseph and more! Need to see even more this year<br />
<br />
It was a fulfilling year and 2018 will be more so!<br />

Even as the curtain went up and you herd that infamous theme and the *click, click* i knew the show was going to meet my expectations. Ones made great by the fact that you tuber and writer Carrie hope Fletcher was in it and i had been watching her Watch me Wednesdays leading up to this day with the backstage preperations and antica that i couldn't hide my excitement i knew i had to go and it was the first time going to the theatre on my own!<br />
The basic story is Wednesday Addams falls in love with a normal boy and they wanna get married but they want there parents blessing. Commence crazy meeting in the Addams central park home and all kooky goings on happen.<br />
So what did i think?<br />

<u>The Set and story</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I loved the set Gothic and kooky it really reflected the family and the scene with the moon was so beautiful.<br />
The story was realistic and you know would have happened i that classic families life. It was funny and relateable and quirky all at the same time but not normal far from normal this is the Addams family of course.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>The Songs/Music</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
A mixture of quirky fun songs to really lovely heart felt powerful songs. It had it all!<br />
When your and Addams made up as there welcome entrance, with crazier than you as the love song and Pulled giving the power to the situation Wednesday found herself in and full disclosure just was not getting out of your head now!<br />
<br />

York minster is a must when we went at first it was really early morning and we just walked the grounds and that alone was amazing looking at it and its grounds you really got a sense of grandeur from it and it is that walk that made us decide we had to go in. So the day after it was raining so we went inside on this day to keep dry yes you pay, but it goes towards keeping this amazing place standing and that ticket lasts you a year we went on one of the tours which o think is a good idea so you can get the info and context to it all which just adds to the experience! A must see definitely our trip was cut short due to a reservation and the fact it was not planned but we will go again!<br />

This was my highlight the York Castle museum! It starts at the beginning then goes through the ages speaking about the whole of york and where it started. What people were like and what they did, how it was to live and work there and what york was know for. At one point we got a guided tour on the Victorian street section. The guide, all dressed in the era attire, spoke about living in these times for each class and really made the streets and its rooms come to life and he gestured towards volunteers in some of the shops as they want to talk about there shop and the history but there volunteers so don't get paid like he did and so wanted us to go see them. The One we spoke to in the pharmacy was amazing and so funny getting a jar of leeches out and entertaining the adults and the children. We were here for like 2 hours and i think was the best place we went.</div>

On our recent trip to the historic city of York we ate in some really lovely laces. whist there i fell in Love with the independent eatery's and cafes and there uniqueness you don't get in a normal town. i have decided to highlight some of these places in hopes help anyone visiting this Beautiful City find the perfect places to rest and unwind and devour some amazing food.</div>

I know this is a popular chain but we ad never been before and kept meaning to try it and we were not disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The atmosphere was lovely on arrival, not to busy and we asked to sit towards the back where it was quieter. It was lovely with it's British eclectic style it's cosy and simple yet rustic ambiance</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ordered drinks i went with the Watermelon, peach and raspberry juice, very Moorish but so refreshing just what was needed after a day sight seeing.</div>

For starter i went for the Roasted tomato soup with cotted cream and warm pesto flat bread. it was amazing the clotted cream in the soup just added a really nice creamyness to the tangy soup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For main i went for the Halloumi burger with tomato hummus, sweet chili sauce roasted red peppers, pea shoots, red onion, garlic lemon mayo, in a sesame bun with fries on the side. I had to try this after hearing Zoe Sugg rave bot it and it was really nice could do with more halloumi but that's my preference. Sadly i did not get a photo of this was clearly too hungry.</div>

Dessert followed and we both went for the crumble with peach and raspberry drizzled with a salted caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream. It was lovely and comforting as the evening drew in and the end to a lovely experience.</div>

After a morning walk around the minster we headed to this small independent cafe after seeing posts on instagram, you walk in noticing the lovely cakes they have in the window and were hit by the aroma of freshly made coffee, the staff welcomed us and we asked for if we could just sit down to which she said yes and would be right over. We ordered caramel lattes, large ones. They came in a large mugs and was an amazing cup of heaven. It is a smallish place with white walls, art on the wall and all different cakes and breads displayed on a table and in the window and black boards listing the drinks behind the counter It seemed a popular place, a bunch of middle aged women sat next to us all having breakfast and people kept popping in for a coffee some i think were regulars, it was nice to see and added to the atmosphere. We decided to order pancakes i wet for banana and nutella and my partner went for the specials menu that had some lovely options on too. When they came we were surprised at the portion a really big stack of 4/5 fluffy American pancakes. Sadly they defeated us and we could not finish them much the waitresses amusement. Definitely be visiting here again.</div>

When we entered there were no staff around so we just sat down and when someone came she was apologetic, it was quiet inside but there seemed to be a lot sat outside in the small beer garden which explains no one being there initially. we ordered drinks a lovely and cold refreshing bottle of strawberry and vanilla cider. We then decided to order from the fixed price menu.</div>

I opted for the fish and chips, a beer battered haddock fillet, twice cooked skin on chips, pea puree and a home made lemon tartar. The batter was lovely with slight crunch, the haddock was light and flaky and tasted wonderful and the tartar sauce just added to it all nicely. For dessert i went for the Banoffee Pavlova layers with layers of meringue with banana, toffee sauce, honeycomb and Chantilly cream.<br />
There was quite lot of meringue for my liking or not enough cream? but it was light and still an indulgence and really lovely end to the meal in this modern yet quaint independent restaurant.<br />

I booked this weeks before our trip as i had seen so man reviews on instagram about it. As we rushed in from the rain we waked into vintage shabby chic heaven, teacups hung from cupboards, flowers and bunting dotted around the cakery cupcakes of a variety of flavours lined the display case. We were seated on a sofa with coffee table reserved for our afternoon tea, ideally we would have preferred a table as it was quite low down and right near the counter and with a large group of staff doing food prep it didn't feel very private. But the food made up for it. </div>

I ordered a luxury hot chocolate with cream marsh mellows and a flake it came in a lovely pink handled mason jar very quaint and adding to the vintage theme.<br />
They then brought over our afternoon tea. Again keeping in theme on a floral cake stand we had finger sandwiches, cucumber, ham and mustard, beef and cheese with chutney and accompanied by a bowl of salted crisps, then we had the scones with cream and jam and on top 4 different mini cupcakes, chocolate orange flavour, lemon, raspberry swirl cheesecake and brownie. all were amazing! The place and food were amazing quaint and a lovely ending to our trip.<br />

Set during the lead up to D day in 1944 we see Sir Winston Churchills attempts to stop the normandy invasion so as not to repeat the suffering he saw at Gallipoli in 1915. Events we see do not work in his favour and only his closest allies such as his wife mainly, but also his secretary stop him from hitting rock bottom and help him find his role in this war and help him find the words for that D day speech.<br />

Well started the week off with a lovely heat wave ended in rain but oh well! Was nice to have breakfast outside one morning!<br />
<br />
Got my nails done!! Went for these summery colours to prolong the sunshine in nail form if nothing else!<br />
<br />
Mid week went for a meal to our local sizzling pub. Yummy food! And lovely family time!<br />
<br />
Sunday went for Frankie and Benny's breakfast which was yummy! And then went to see Churchill movie (review to come) and ended the week with strawberry lambrini and Glastonbury!<br />
<br />

Anyway back to the film, i a basic sum up it is about a girl brought up by her uncle who is a gifted child in mathematics her school intervene causing unwanted family members to intervene to find whats best for her and how to nurture her and her gift.<br />
Through out this we learn about the back story and why her uncle is so protective and wants her to have a normal childhood. It will make you laugh and cry and is a lovely nostalgic film and I'm sure fans of this genre will not be disappointed!SOPHIEsticatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242516609847336402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482700549723484019.post-45311138373299698622017-06-13T13:22:00.001+01:002017-06-13T13:22:26.270+01:00Weekly sump up!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well sorry for lack of posts i was working 6 days straight last week and just had no time. Sp this weekly sum up is more over 2 weekish hehe.<br />
So 2 weekends ago me and my partner went for a walk around Skipton in the sunshine, we grabbed an ice cream bought some treats and sat by the canal, that's where i saw the Sgt pepper canal boat. It is such a quaint little village with cute shops and nice areas and a typical old Yorkshire town! We then headed to keelham farm shop i Skipton for tea which was amazing but a whole keelham post will come soon as its a go to place for me!<br />
A few days this week has involved me needing caffeine and Java Joe in Bradford is a go to the staff are lovely and the coffee and food are great!<br />
This Sunday we went to see Jimmy Carr's love tour, it was so good, i had not been to see a comedian before and it didn't disappoint. He is just like how he is on the telly but more ride and offencive (in a good way) and i loved how he had audience join and and heckle etc. And you know every night he performs would be different because of this.<br />
<br />
This week I'm on less hours so i am gonna get some posts up and get out and about!<br />

After the events of this week i feel I'm looking at everything different. I'm looking at what I'm fortunate to have , fortunate to be in the situation I'm in and not to worry so much about the should of or could of of life. Live for the now dream and have hope. And live life to the full now and soon not the later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be proud of where you've come and that your here, the you one some of life's battles and lived.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't feel bad <span style="background-color: yellow;">because y</span>ou didn't get a B in that exam, don't feel bad you only have a a part time job not a full time one, don't feel bad you didn't get that promotion or the top prize. No one understands your journey, you do remember what it took for you to get there what you went through, how much you tried. But you lived and you felt every emotion and experienced high and low points. That's life it's not easy and it won't all come at once but just appreciate what you do have. As some do not get that chance.</div>

For either nostalgia or just because they sound good here are my top 10 songs of all time. I may add though they are in no particular order<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><u>The Riddle- Nik Kershaw</u> -<i> It makes no sense but it is catchy and typical 80s rifts and sound.</i></li>
<li><u>Lets hear it for the Boy- Deniece Williams</u><i> - I sing this to my boyfriend all the time as it just describes me and him, i love Footloose the movie and musical and its just a catchy song!</i></li>
<li><u>Waiting for the Star to Fall- Boy meets Girl-</u> <i>From my fave movie as a kid 3 men and a little lady it's such a nice song and i loved the more modern remix that came out too.</i> </li>
<li><u>St Elmos Fire (Man in motion) - John Parr - </u><i>this is a hairbrush in hand, belt it out song you can't not song along</i>.</li>
<li><u>Your Song- Ewan Mcgregor (Moulin Rouge) -</u> <i>love the film but how he sings it just makes me melt the notes he hits and just how he sings it different to the original makes <span style="background-color: yellow;">to a </span>whole other version to stand on its own.</i></li>
<li><u>Here comes the Sun- The Beatles -</u><i><u> </u>reminds me of summer and its just a classic and its The Beatles need i say more!</i></li>
<li><u>Night Changes - One Direction</u><i><u>- </u>the vocals! Literally melts my heart and is relateable. Gotta love Harry's parts best!</i></li>
<li><u>Ghost of you- My Chemical Romance - </u><i>takes me back to being a teenager i love this band and Gerard Ways vocals are immense</i></li>
<li><u>Time of your life- Green Day -</u> <i>again back to being a teen but love how they've gone into musicals. Only band that still sound the same as they did in the beginning and there in there 40s!</i></li>
<li><u>Mcfly- Room on the 3rd floor- </u><i>playing this album in my room as a young girl and loving these boys and i still do!</i></li>
</ol>

This week has truly been a mixture. Life's hard and life doesn't go your way and sometimes you feel crap. Its OK! Forget <span style="background-color: yellow;">who</span> may judge you and just do it all for you sometimes things wont go your way but you sometimes have to let that ship sale a bit to learn and wait for something on the horizon. Everything happens for a reason!<br />
Don't feel bad for things not going to plan or how they "should" be. That's don't always work out.<br />
I stead whatever life throws at you take it by the horns and go for it and see what happens.<br />
<br />
This week consisted of work, blogging, softails, new clothes, finding myself and life evaluation.<br />

If like me you love theatre and musical theatre or love comedians and variety acts i suggest you tune into ITVs Tonight at the London Palladium.<br />
<br />
Host by Bradley Walsh this revival of a 1950s variety show has hit our screens on an off ever since and even now is a hit.<br />
Its like the royal variety but every week.<br />
<br />
As a musicals fan i love it as usually every week there is a performance from a stage show that is performing at the moment so is a good way to get a preview! Already this series there has been performances from Half a Sixpence, 42nd street and this week a preview of The Addams Family UK Tour which i myself am seeing later this year so love that i can get a glimpse beforehand!<br />
<br />
I would highly recommend this show its on Wednesdays at 8pm and <span style="background-color: yellow;">is</span> just a feel good show to watch curled up on the sofa for a bit of mid week nostalgia.SOPHIEsticatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242516609847336402noreply@blogger.com0
