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!

Kristin Chenoweth in London

If you’ve found this post and wondering whom Kristin Chenoweth is, then you should go and do some research because you won’t regret it; but for starters she’s a Broadway and American TV actress. A well-known name across the pond in America, but only really known amongst avid theatre fans in the UK.

Back in mid-October, she spent a week in London, and a lot of great things happened in that time. If you’re a fan, you’ll know that her visits here are rare, which made it all the more special, and here’s a little summary for you and a few reasons why it was so wonderful…

The Theatre Cafe in Shaftesbury Avenue (London) opened earlier this year, and ever since I had been desperate to go, so I thought I would do a little blog on my first experience there!
