Since it arrived in the West End, I've been intrigued
to see Motown, but being yet another jukebox musical, it was never quite at the
top of my list.

Possibilities – Theatre N16
Possibilities is a short play by Jamal Chong examining the concept that there are an infinite number of routes and directions
our lives could take, or perhaps even multiple versions of ourselves all
playing out different possibilities simultaneously. More specifically, it takes
a relationship between a young couple, played by Jamal Chong and Kate Gwynn,
and presents scene after scene of endless possibilities for their relationship,
from friendship, to a casual hook-up, through breakups, affairs and marriage.

Miss Saigon Event - Singing Masterclass with Michael Xavier
A few weeks ago I was invited over to the Umbrella
Rooms for a Singing Masterclass with Michael Xavier, in celebration of the
upcoming release of Miss Saigon: The 25th Anniversary Performance on
Blu-Ray & DVD on 24th October.
The critically-acclaimed and hugely successful revival
of Miss Saigon which landed in the West End in May 2014 was filmed in front of
a live audience on its 25th anniversary performance at the Prince Edward
Theatre. Having seen the stunning production myself back in
2014, I was very excited to be joining this Miss Saigon-themed masterclass.

Upon the news of her
grandmother’s death, Jen is forced to travel to the coast to sort out Lily’s
affairs. Leaving her moping husband behind, Jen and her twelve-year-old
daughter, Marianne, spend a couple of weeks at Lily’s house, a place that Jen
hasn’t been since she cut off all ties from her grandmother years before. As
Jen delves into piles of paperwork and Lily’s belongings, she begins to strip
through layers and layers of truth, each time uncovering yet another mystery or
secret to disentangle.

The Sunday Brunch Post, Episode XVII
These monthly posts seem to be coming around more and more quickly, and I always panic when I see them next on my schedule, frantically racking my brains for anything remotely interesting I might have done with my life over the past four weeks. Thankfully, September was a pretty busy and eventful one, so I can actually feel like these posts have a purpose for once! Plus, now that it's autumn I'm sure there will be lots of festive fun to rely on for the next few.

In the Heights – 1st Birthday & Interview with Gabriela Garcia
Following a short stint at Southwark Playhouse,
In the Heights opened at King’s Cross Theatre on 3rd October last
year. Although I had already seen it twice, I couldn’t turn down the
opportunity to see it a third time, when invited to go along on Friday for an
evening of celebrations for the show’s first birthday.
