Summer Shows

This year I haven't been able to go and see as much theatre as I would have liked. Now with the scrapping of the A Night Less Ordinary scheme, I will see even less. For the past five summers, I have travelled down to Chichester to go and see as many of the summer season shows as possible, and have in recent years been able to watch such gems as Sir Patrick Stewart in Macbeth, Enron and last years Pygmalion, starring Rupert Everrett.

Although this year, I won't be able to see a many shows, I am desperate to get down to Chichester to see at least two shows -Singing in the Rain starring Scarlett Strallen, and Sweeney Todd starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton. Both of these shows, I am sure, will be wonderful! I would also like to see the Terrence Rattigan plays,but we will have to see how my finances are looking, especially because I have just (possibly) purchased Olympics tickets for next year!

This summer, I would also like to g and see Jekyll and Hyde starring Marti Pellow, which is touring the UK. Another show I would love to see if the UK tour of Legally Blonde. I didn't go down to London to see this show, purely because I have seen the Broadway version on MTV, and I would rather have spent my money on seeing another show, which I did when I was down theee last (I went and watched the Michael Ball produced Love Story, which was lovely - Michael Xavier and Emma Williams were both robbed at the Olivier awards recently!). I am also probably going to see We Will Rock You, although I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to that show much - I've heard mixed reviews!

I would also love to get down to London again to see some shows in the capital. I am absolutey gutted that I didn't get a chance to see The Little Dog Laughed, or Fela at the National. Maybe one day my finances will allow me to take unlimited trips to the theatre in the name of Art, or maybe someone will employ me to write lots of reviews for the Guardian or the Times! One can only dream!

I am also looking forward to taking part in BOST's production of Beauty and The Beast!
