My dream has come true and I’m off to the Oliver’s, but 5mins before leaving I realised all (both) my handbags are packed away as we’re moving and so now I gotta show up on this carpet with a fucking TOTE BAG. Ffs why am I like this.

Sending love to the whole Big Life cast, band and crew for their last show tonight. An incredible team who worked tirelessly to bring such joy to audiences. Be good to yourselves!

Look at this cast!

Random one: if you have a baby and you’re done with zoom zoom zoom we’re going to the moon and fancy joining a singing group/choir where the parents sing stuff they like and the babies just vibe hit me up!

Really hope #theatretwitter can spread this far and wide. Here are the firsts for sedos (a 117 year old amateur dramatics society in London):

Theatre question: is there a database/list anywhere with upcoming relaxed performances?

Oh see now this is an APPOINTMENT appointment! 🤩

BEYONCÉ YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS😭😭😭😭😭

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such strong Black presence in the audience at a major opera production as I saw at English National Opera for BLUE.

Great to see!

I wish this wasn’t such a surprise. So rarely do Black & Global Majority folk see stories of such direct relevance in our opera houses.
