Tickets to Book this Season

image from hullvibe.co.uk


Long time no see! My absence from the web has been mostly due to my university finals but I am done and I intend to blog way more regularly in the coming weeks so please keep checking back for new posts!
Student loans are coming in soon and I personally can't wait to snap up some tickets for theatre, film and music events in London. Here's my pick of the bunch.

  • The Polyphonic Spree in Camden, 3rd September
Hot off the press! The Polyphonic Spree will be performing at the Electric Ballroom in Camden at the beginning of September. If you haven't heard of the 20-strong band then you will probably have heard their songs (one used to be on the Sainsbury's advert!). It may seem a bit premature to be buying tickets but it's better to get them in advance than be disappointed, as I was when tickets to see Taylor Swift in Hyde Park sold out...sad times.
Get details here.


  • Joshua Radin supported by Cary Brothers at KOKO, 22nd April
If you're stuck for something to do on Wednesday and you're in London, get your butt to the amazing converted theatre that is KOKO for a night you won't forget. Joshua Radin's dulcet tones are a regular feature on the Scrubs soundtrack, or in fact on any of his best mate Zach Braff's movies. I saw him play at Manchester Academy about 6 years ago and he was phenomenal so don't miss it.
Tickets here.

  • The Play That Goes Wrong, Duchess Theatre, London
Winner of Best New Comedy at the Olivier Awards, this play is 'ridiculously funny' according to the Times and should be a real rib-tickler to cheer up your week. Loads of celebs have seen it so it must be good. Tickets start at just £20!
Get them here.

  • Bugsy Malone, Lyric Hammersmith, London
The jazzy songs of Bugsy have been some of my favourite to choreograph and work on in the past and now it's time for a West End revival! If you didn't know, this is a musical about gangsters played entirely by kids. It's a bit wacky but you just have to go with it, and this new production promises to be a treat.
More details here.

  • Cinderella, in cinemas now
I, shamefully, have yet to see this movie but I'm going this week! All my friends have assured me that this live-action version of the Disney classic is simply magical. Go with your friends and relive your childhood dreams of happily ever after.


  • The Age of Adaline, in cinemas from 8th May
Blake Lively is one of my idols and I am dying to see her new movie, which is about a woman who lives through the 20th century without ageing. I can't guarantee that it will be an amazing plot because I haven't seen it, but I can guarantee that the costumes showing all the different eras will be fabulous. See you there.
