A very exciting announcement was made yesterday when StageCon was launched. What is StageCon? Well, it is like Comic Con but filled with Stagey related events, performances and meet and greets with stars from the London stage!

Venue: LONDON Shoreditch Town Hall

This is in partnership with WhatsOnStage and the idea is taken from BroadwayCon in New York.
On Friday morning something truly fantastic happened and the Young Frankenstein London Cast Recording was available on iTunes and I therefore bought it straight away. It had felt like a long wait when this was all first mentioned months ago and we were told it would be out in July, but throughout July and no sign of the recording it looked as though it would just randomly appear one day. Which is exactly what ended up happening!
When I found out that a huge Spice Girls exhibition was going to be happening when I was already going to be in London I jumped at the chance to get tickets. Why not a nice throwback to the 90s and how different everything was back then, but also to actually remember just how huge The Spice Girls really were and the legacy they left behind with the rise of Girl Power!
Located right in the middle of plenty of West End’s theatres, this cafe is a must visit for all musical theatre fans. Constant show tunes being played, reasonably priced coffee and other hot drinks all with Stagey names as well as stagey cups! See the Bat out of Hell the Musical cup in the photos! I just so happened to be sitting at the Wicked table, I seriously couldn’t have time it any better!

Brand new releases from Lego so with being in London I queued to get in the Lego shop and decided to buy a few. I had started by trying to see if I could work out who Dumbledore was . . . But after a few minutes I decided to just go full on pot luck and picked four different packets.
It happened!
After seeing Orlando Bloom on stage in Killer Joe, what an experience. I managed to get to meet him at the stage door as well!
My teenage dream certainly came true! My Legolas and Will Turner!!!
From this day forward the 31st July shall forever be known as Orlando Bloom. That is because I am heading to London to see him for the very first time, making all of my teenage dreams come true! He is in the play Killer Joe in the West End and I am seriously so excited about this, as you will probably already know he was my biggest teenage crush, I have seen all of his films (and TV appearances) and my love for Lord of the Rings is what started it all!
I received an email about this play yesterday and I am now frantically wondering if I can manage to get a trip to London to see it. Running from 2nd October 2018 until 1st December 2018. With two truly incredible actors leading it! I have always wanted to see Jonathan Pryce on stage and I am hoping this will be the show I get to see him in.
Trying to decide which seats to buy before you head to the Theatre can be a pretty difficult task, especially if you have never been to that theatre before. SeatPlan can certainly help you out with that! Updated with photos and reviews from people who attend different theatres for different shows and posting them to help others out.
