Had a nightmare in which I had to go on for Tom Francis in Sunset Boulevard. With no rehearsal & as someone who can’t sing it was terrifying. I woke myself up before the title number as there’s no way I’d have pulled that outdoors walking scene off 🤣

For the first time in my 17 years @thestage.bsky.social I’ve overseen The Stage 100. A massive undertaking but a rewarding one, celebrating as it does so much talent! We now have a category for children’s theatre & and an expanded section for independent creatives. Congrats to all on it!

Had the best time seeing Starlight Express - our third outing and my daughter’s current favourite! The added bonus was a meet & greet with the two stars. So magical (for me & her!) #theatre #musicals #starlightexpress

Tomorrow is the gala performance of The Devil Wears Prada. I was so honoured to be asked to host the launch of this show a few weeks back and interview the one & only Elton John on stage. Something I’ll remember forever! #theatresky #eltonjohn #prada

As I head off to the Steps musical in Birmingham I’m sharing the original advert I’m told is the one the band members responded to back in 1996 in @thestage.bsky.social ❤️

I know it’s early days, but doesn’t it feel nice to post without fear of a pile on or angry people trying to pick a fight? Feels like we can just be ourselves again!

For anyone who doesn’t know me from X , I’m deputy editor at The Stage newspaper (where I’ve been for 17 years now 😬) and I’m one of the world’s biggest Gloria Estefan fans - proof (if you need it) below 🤣

I can say this here as it’s a safe space: I’m off to the Steps musical on Tuesday and I’m more excited about this show than I have been for a while!
