Bugsy Malone The Musical at The Rep

You have until 14th August 2022 to catch this superbly enjoyable Bugsy Malone The Musical at Birmingham The Rep. We loved this bad boy musical, especially with the lively music, the great energy levels from a talented cast of 9 to 15 year olds and the excitement which ran throughout the show.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Restaurant Review

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co is a restaurant that was first opened in California based on the film Forrest Gump and has since expanded to multiple locations worldwide including London!  It is located near Piccadilly Circus tube station, which is very convenient and easy to find!  If you happen to be out in the West End, why not visit this awesome place that is filled lots of Forrest Gump film props.

Shrek The Musical Boardway

If you have not watched Shrek before, read this to understand it better: Shrek is a grouchy, terrifying green ogre who loves the solitude in his swamp, finds his life interrupted when many fairytale characters are exiled into his swamp by order of the fairytale-hating Lord Farquaad. Shrek tells them that he will go ask Farquaad to send them back. Farquaad tortures the Gingerbread Man into giving the location of the remaining fairytale creatures until his guards rush in with something he has been searching for: the Magic Mirror. He asks The Mirror if his kingdom is the fairest of them all but is told that he is not even a king. To be a king he must marry a princess and is given three options, in a parody of The Dating Game: Cinderella, Snow White, and Princess Fiona, from which he chooses Fiona, who is locked in a castle tower guarded by lava and a dragon. Shrek fights a fearsome dragon, rescues the princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren’t only found in fairy tales.

Room on the Broom Theatre

Last Thursday, the lovely people from Town Hall & Symphony Hall kindly offered my family tickets to watch Room on the Broom Theatre. We had a fantastic time and I would recommend this show to anyone with children who is over 4 years old. The recommend age is 3+ years old.

The Gruffalo Book and Live on Stage!

The first time that I came across The Gruffalo magnetic book was my son’s 3rd birthday present from my friend, AP.  It looked so interesting and I heard a lot of good reviews from friends that it is a classic book for the whole family!  We loved it so much that we followed up and bought the paperback and hardback editions!!  I’m really glad that I did which will be explained soon!
