Miss Saigon | Closing Night | Prince Edward Theatre

I first saw this revival production of Miss Saigon back in May 2014, not long after it had opened and I fell in love with the show. Straight away it was up there as one of my favourite shows so when it was announced last year that the show would be closing I was devastated and rushed online to book tickets for the final evening performance on the 27th February. Since I originally saw it there have been a couple of new cast members in the principal roles (I hadn't seen Chris Peluso as Chris or Marsha Songcome as Gigi) so I was excited to see how the show had changed and equally I knew that all the cast would be giving the performance of a lifetime to provide this extraordinary show with the goodbye it deserved.

Wicked | Closing Night | The Lowry Theatre

On Saturday night I was super excited to head up to Salford to see the final night of the Wicked UK Tour. I've seen Wicked twice before- once in London many years ago and last year when the tour came to Birmingham- so I'm a big fan of the show and know if practically inside out. However last time I saw the tour, I saw almost a completely different principal cast (alternate Glinda Carina Gillespie and Nikki Davis-Jones as Elphaba) but Emily Tierney aa Glinda and Ashleigh Gray as Elphaba blew me away. Having never been to The Lowry theatre before, booking seats was a bit of a guessing game. I chose row C in the Grand Circle which were actually really great seats as we had a view of the whole stage, no restricted view at all.
