Dressing Room 9 & Jennifer Hepburn

A week ago, I got the pleasure of enjoying not one incredible gig but TWO, thanks to four of my favourite West End Wendies. First up was “Dressing Room 9” aka Dianne Pilkington, Samantha Seager and Pippa Duffy who currently share a room at Only Fools and Horses the musical with an afternoon at The Theatre Cafe. With just a brief interval between shows, next up was Jennifer Hepburn: One Night Only at the Above the Arts cabaret venue. To those who may not know, Jen is currently starring in Mamma Mia! in the ensemble and cover for all three Dynamos.

Both gigs were so stonkingly good, that I wish I had time to give them the full individual reviews they deserve, but due to time constraints this little summary will have to do – but I think neither party will mind me shouting out about powerful women empowering women!

Sunday Night Socials

A couple of months ago, I kindly got sent a Press Release about a new event launching at The Union Theatre in Southwark (London) of a Sunday Cabaret/Gig evening called “Sunday Night Socials” with composers and their friends, most of whom are known West End stars, to sing a showcase of their work – and I was so pleased I got to attend the March show.

Gig Review: Rachel Tucker

Rachel Tucker first made a name for herself when she competed as one of the finalists in the BBC TV talent show I’d Do Anything in 2008. However, she is perhaps now better known for painting herself green to play Elphaba in Wicked on the West End and Broadway (for a total of 4 and a half years), alongside some other great theatre roles.

Though last night, she took centre stage at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds as she’s “On The Road” for the first time…

Ed Sheeran “Jumpers for Goalposts” Film Premiere

One Friday after work in October, I saw I had received a message out of the blue from Atlantic Records informing me I had won tickets to the premiere of Ed Sheeran’s film “Jumpers for Goalposts” and I was so surprised, but got to work on making the arrangements to go.
