Welcome 2014! - an overlook of 2013.



Welcome viewers to 2014, I know that I am 26 days late to wish you this. But this week I am starting my first theatre trip of 2014, so I thought I would do a quick blog of my theatre land of 2013.

I did go and see Dickens Abridged a 2nd time with my mate before it closed, and before the new year, but as it was a week after I saw it the last time, I choose not to review it by blog, though this time I got to see Kit Orton perform, and was on fit form after having time off for his bad throat!

So with that last viewing of 2013, I was lucky to have gone to see 19 shows! Just the thought of that is just mad, and I am so thankful for all those opportunities. Highlights, I suppose would be that I finally saw Les Miserable on stage, and with that met all the cast, I was so excited and it really is an amazing show! then there is the fact that because of all these trips I know have 6 West End Stars following myself and twitter, and actually befriended one on Facebook, chuffed to say the least is an understatement. I also still love the fact that Jon Robyn's still recognises me, when he see's him! I'm already planning on seeing him on the 16th February for a concert that he is performing solo! But I also hope I get to see him perform in a musical at some point this year! But along with those highlights the shows I was able to see this year, were all amazing! its scary to think that at the end of this year, I most likely will not be able to display them on my bed.

I can also state that a highlight this year will be myself making sure that I keep up my blogs on this site. ok yes some of them have been quite late after I have seen the show, but they always will be on here when I get round to doing it. It has really helped me express my love for theatre, and the fact that I have over 2,000 views is more than I could have asked for!

With 2013 over and 2014 here, what does this year have in store for myself? Well on Tuesday I will be venturing to my favourite city London, and for the first time I will be entering the National Theatre to go and see there production of "The Light Princess" the reviews say that its amazing and I haven't heard anything negative about it so far, so before it closes on the 2nd February I had to find someone, and purchase tickets! Looking forward to see what the National has created now would be nice to see a musical having seen two plays that they have created! (Curious, and WarHorse) I have also purchased tickets to go and see Harry Hill's "I Can't Sing, The X Factor Musical" at the London Palladium in March during its previews! Looking forward to finally seeing Simon Lipkin performing with a muppet again! :)

That is the 2 theatre tickets I have purchased so far, but I am hoping this year, and my want to see view list is:
Book of Mormon
WarHorse
We Will Rock You (to see Oliver again!)
Les Miserable - please!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Urinetown
WestEnd Eurovsion once again!
 
Those are priority, but I'm sure there should be new ones appearing that I would love to go and see and get tickets and no doubt you will be reading it for your pleasure to assist you in what you would like to see.
 
I leave you now with my programme collection through the beginning and end of 2013, and you can dramatically see the difference!
