17 years 💔 What a huge amount of time and yet, somehow, every year I still wake up at exactly that point, just after 5am… Thinking just beyond the stars today 🩵

What a day. Onstage for the 1st time in yrs, alongside my oldest friends to honour & celebrate a mate. Back in a rehearsal room together, obviously we revert to being teenagers & it was utterly joyous. BYT, what a life changing, beautiful thing you are. Miss ya, Paulie, from this Rooster-Boq combo 🩵

Paul Bradley’s mum was my Gran’s best friend and when I was 12 yrs old, at the height of his EE stint, we spent Xmas Day together which was one of the most exciting things ever. This return brings back all the memories of Xmas pasts! 💙

Happy birthday, Dad. My 1st intro to theatre was helping you learn lines for panto & I’d recite every word whilst watching the show, so always feels apt your birthday falls here. I wonder what you’d have made of all this; my guess is you’d have done a Panto marathon of your own 💙 #JustBeyondTheStars

Early morning walk for some peaceful thoughts. Feeling pumped to open 5 different productions around the country in the next 36 hours: Aylesbury, Blackpool & New Brighton tonight; Bournemouth & York tomorrow. Super proud of our teams making magic everywhere! 🙌🏻💙💪🏻🎭

Beautiful service for an incredible man. Full of laughs & tears; both all at once. Every speech got me at some point whilst still smiling at the memories. Definitely worth remembering that “Sometime is now” & “kindness heals the heart”. Love you & miss you forever, #GavinCreel ❤️‍🩹

Blown away by the incredible opportunity our Beck Youth Theatre got from CamMack & yesterday’s education matinee of Phantom. So powerful to see a theatre packed with entranced teenagers, screaming at the chandelier, gasping at theatrical magic & ERUPTING when Christine chose to kiss the Phantom 🧵

Impulsively booked Vivaldi By Candlelight after stumbling across it as a birthday treat for my mum. Haven’t been to a classical music concert for yrs & was so beautifully performed by the Piccadilly Sinfonietta. The perfect feeling of calm & switch off from this rather hectic period.

Did some kids auditions this morn for a thing. The child who, when asked to show a dramatic death, clutched her chest and plaintively uttered, “This is the end of my life” on repeat whilst sinking slowly to the ground, will have me laughing for days. (She got the job).

Sending love to the BBCDoctors community today. Worth remembering that Grange Hill, Byker Grove, Holby City, Family Affairs & now #Doctors all gone - look behind the scenes & the volume of people that went on to be leading industry figures is huge. Where are these training platforms now?
