Safe to say the sell out audiences have been lapping up Kinky Boots this week at @curveleicester.bsky.social. Nice to kick back and get to watch it properly. Hearty feel-good fun.

Got to catch two thirds of the PDR for Kinky Boots this afternoon. Nikolai Foster has nailed this, superb staging and impressive set. Strong casting across the board too.
I love that Curve do PDRs (public dress rehearsals) and that they’re only £1 is the theatre bargain of a lifetime!

Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812 at @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social yesterday was truly magnificent. Sizzling hot, electric, moving and powerful performances/music. Declan Bennett and Chumisa Dornford-May deserve awards and all the praise.

I have a spare ticket for Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812 at the @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social this afternoon at 2.30pm. It’s an under 35 ticket so you’ll need to bring ID (and to sit with me!). Ticket was £20.
