Started reading Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings today and get the distinct impression it’s going to be one of those books that stays with me for a very long time.

Not naming names… but so disappointing to see new musicals in huge venues announced with marketing copy written almost exclusively by AI.

These teams are buzzing with creativity… until it comes to the marketing. Do better.

Lunchtime dog walks this time of year really are unbeatable 🍂

Enjoyed an afternoon supporting my husband in what has become the annual marker of the beginning of the festive season in our house - the garden centre Christmas concert.

Not pictured: the three mince pies I ate.

Got excited because I thought there was a dog on the train, turns out it was a woman in a faux fur coat hunched over because the heating is broken. Very disappointed.

Pleaseeeeee @bsky.app can we have scheduling?

Or is anybody using a good tool for Blue Sky scheduling a la Hootsuite??

Thomas Atkinson-Joy @tatkjoy.bsky.social · Nov 27

Oh my goodness, yes please!

Thomas Atkinson-Joy @tatkjoy.bsky.social · Nov 27

✍️🎭 Think my resolution for 2025 is going to see way more new writing. I’m lucky enough to see so much theatre, but feel I don’t actually see much new work! Any recommendations welcome!

I’d say even if you have just a passing interest in musicals, or staging, or the mechanics of adaptations, it’s a film of such scale, such attention to detail, and has been crafted with so much love, it’s just a joy to behold!

Wicked is the best movie musical of a generation. 10/10. No notes. Cried several times. 💚🩷
