Hamilton- NEWS

Image
Hamilton will be touring the UK! This has felt like a long time coming! It's no secret how popular this musical is, so I think it is great that more people will ne able to get to experience this show more locally to them! It will start it's tour at Manchester Palace Theatre from November 11th 2023 and play there for 15 weeks! Following that it will be at Edinburgh Festival Theatre from February 28th 2024, further dates to be announced... I'm hoping the Sunderland Empire will be announced next! I know my younger brother and my boyfriend would both love to see it! Fun fact, Hamilton was actually my first West End show back in 2019!

Pretty Woman the musical is going on a UK/Ireland tour! We are getting a UK tour! We some some very exciting news! Pretty Woman will be touring the UK and Ireland! I, for one am very much looking forward to this as I am obsessed with the songs 'Anywhere But Here' and 'I Can't Go Back!  I love the film! 90s rom-com films are some of my faves!  It kicks off its tour in Birmingham at The Alexandra theatre from 17/10/2023 and continues touring various cities around the UK and Ireland until the back end of 2024. I will definitely be catching this when it graces the Sunderland Empire stage from the 28/05/2024!

My Fair Lady

 My Fair Lady- 02/02/2023 - Sunderland Empire My Fair Lady was my first show of 2023! It was such a 'loverly' one to start on!  I went into it knowing a few songs and had not seen the film for years... now on reflection, I really preferred the stage production to the film!  The cast were phenomenal, with Charlotte Kennedy portraying Eliza Doolittle amazingly! She really brought both the beautiful vocals and the comedy to the character! Henry Higgins demeanour was also hilarious!  However, a standout feature of the show for me had to be those amazing set designs and set changes!  Be prepared though as it is a long show, especially that first act so just be prepared to sit for a long time!  Be sure to catch it at the rest of its tour venues!
