After seeing the UK Tour of a new musical Son of a Preacher Man using the songs of the legend that is Dusty Springfield, I was lucky enough to meet the leading ladies from the show both truly incredible (full review to follow). They were absolutely lovely!

Another incredible meet after seeing La Cage Aux Folles was Adrian Zmed who was just brilliant from start to finish in the show. He had quite a big crowd of people waiting at the stage door for him and was absolutely fantastic signing and taking photos.
He did also mention that the show is trying to find a Theatre in the West End so watch out for that!
After seeing the amazing La Cage Aux Folles we had to pop round to the stage door to show our appreciation for an incredible show and amazing performance from John Partridge. What a lovely man, who took the time to sign autographs and take selfies/photos with anyone who asked him.
Might still be best known for his role in Eastenders as Christian, I would really recommend catching him on stage if you have the chance! Very impressed with his acting and vocal range!
I really was blown away by his performance and so pleased I got the chance to meet him, as I saw him in Chicago last year and didn’t get the chance to head to the stage door.
