Rocky Horror UK Tour - Bournemouth Pavilion Review

The Rocky Horror Show is a cult film, musical and all round piece of history that has fans spanning generations. It was a film that pushed the boundaries of gender and sexuality and it's a musical that has audience members dressing up, shouting and bringing props to every show. It's a film that I have a huge soft spot for, and a musical that I haven't seen in what feels like forever. So when I saw that it was on at the Bournemouth Pavilion, I knew that I would be heading down at my first opportunity. Luckily, an invite popped into my inbox, so it was the perfect excuse to say Dammit Janet, I'm on my way!


Tom Gates Live On Stage

Tom Gates is one of those kid's book series that has won over and inspired a generation of readers. I don't know one kid in Max's year that hasn't heard or read about Tom and his world. And with a book series that is so richly animated and created, it makes perfect sense for the stage to be a brilliant place to adapt Tom and his life. 

Tom Gates Live On Stage has just taken Southampton Mayflower by storm. A completely new show created by Birmingham Stage Company, this show follows Tom on a brand new adventure and Max was honestly sitting on the edge of his seat in anticipation throughout the whole show!


Some Like It Hip Hop Review - Mayflower Southampton

Any show that ZooNation seem to put on is one full of marvel and spectacle. I've been fortunate enough to see Sylvia, the powerful tale of suffrage last year and Into The Hoods a few years ago, so I knew that the show I was going to see was going to be special. I just didn't realise how fantastic it would be. How much it resonated with the whole audience and how enigmatic it would be from start to finish. Some Like It Hip Hop made me fall in love with the dance style that I have never been able to do (and don't worry, I've tried!) and left me smiling from ear to ear.


Motown the Musical Review - Mayflower Southampton

I love a good musical that tells the history of a person, group or even an era. Something that can transport you and make you feel like you are experiencing that part of history yourself. Motown the Musical is one of those shows that hits the spot. Full of rich musical history that charts from Diana Ross to the Jackson 5, this show pumps out hit after hit. It's taken to the Mayflower, Southampton stage and I popped along to immerse myself in some Motown music.
