Wicked on Broadway




When I was in New York, I was lucky enough to see Wicked on Broadway. I've seen Wicked twice in London, and I love it so much. However, Broadway was a whole different experience. It was so much better, the talent on Broadway really is the best in the world. The acting was sharper, the dancing was better, the singing was more passionate...I could go on. The theatre was huge, the atmosphere was just insane. I cried...a lot. I feel so sorry for the people beside me. There was a lot of tears, from For Good (that always makes me cry) to the Wizard and I and Defying Gravity. If you ever get a chance to see something on Broadway- 100% go to this. I need to go back and see it again.

Musicals

There is nothing I love more than a bit of musical theatre. If you flicked through my iTunes, you would mostly just see various musical playlists. Living in London, I go to the theatre quite a bit, and these are some of my favourites.


I've seen Les Miserables twice on the West End, most recently for my 17th birthday in August 2013. This time was particularly exciting, as Carrie Hope Fletcher was playing Eponine who went to my secondary school!

Favourite character- Enjorlas
Favourite song- On My Own/Turning/Do You Hear The People Sing?






Wicked I've also been lucky enough to see twice, the second time I was front row which was incredible. Also, Matt Willis was on as Fiyero (I adore Busted!)

Favourite character- Fiyero 
Favourite song- For Good/ Defying Gravity







I also saw the Sound of Music at the Open Air Theatre, having previously seen it at the Palladium. Sound of Music is an absolute classic!

Favourite character- Maria
Favourite song- My Favourite Things 












I know Ghost is a popular film, but having seen the musical I can't stand the film! The musical was absolutely incredible, and I sobbed and laughed simultaneously. I can't find my photos from this theatre visit sadly. 
Favourite character- Sam
Favourite song- Suspend My Disbelief/I Had A Life
