10th February 2020

chorus line musical theatre warwick

I’ve decided 2020 is going to be my year of the theatre. Not quite once a month, but so far my ticket bookings for the year are looking healthy, if a bit clustered across the same months.  I need to get them spread out a bit more!  I have booked via ATG theatres, but they’re…

9th June 2019

Ballet Central summer showcase

Quite by accident I spotted an ad for the Ballet Central summer show at Chipping Norton theatre. Each year the graduating students from Central Ballet School do a summer tour around the UK as part of the Ballet Central touring company, so I decided it was worth checking out.

Matthew Bourne's Cinderella - What about dance

After years of ballet lessons and going to see the ballet, it has been some time since I’ve been to big ballet production. I’d managed to buy tickets for the last night of Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella at the Birmingham Hippodrome and Saturday was our time to go. I quite often go to the theatre on…

best dance ads of the last fewe years - What about dance

While most people attempt to dance at some point in their lives, even if it’s just a shuffle round their handbags in a club, or a bit of a dad dance, there’s not enough dance on television in my opinion.  This has been increasing in recent years (especially if you’ve got more than Freeview on…
