THEATRE SHOWS I SAW IN 2023

-
I thought I would write a blog about the many theatre trips that I have been lucky to on over the past year which have been incredible and honestly I am so grateful to have found my love for it once again.

My first theatre trip of the year was to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory at Milton Keynes that I have to say was absolutely brilliant. Being someone who is hard of hearing it was wonderful to see this represented in the production by the fantastic Leonie Spilsbury who played Mrs Bucket in the show I attended. Kazmin Borrer was brilliant as Veruca Salt.

I know it's not a proper theatre show but up next was The Neighbours Celebration Tour at The Palladium - an experience I loved having never been to the venue but one I have always wanted to attend and mixing it with my love of the soaps was a brilliant trip to start 2023.
Followed by trip to The British Soap Awards back in June at The Lowry Theatre in Manchester which is also a brilliant evening minus the absolute chaos of a journey I had to experience due to the train strikes.

I had to shows in September one was the tour of 42nd Street again in Milton Keynes which was fantastic, I love getting to experience many different types of theatre and this one was unexpected by one I absolutely loved. The dancing and singing was better than I expected.

For my 30th, I went to the Lowry Theatre in Manchester to see Everybody's Talking About Jamie which no matter how many times I see the show always sees me leave with a massive smile on my face with the most wonderful touring casting. I went to the stage door after the performance and met the incredible Shobna Gulati who appeared in one of my favourite soaps, it was an honour as well as Rebecca McKinnis, Jessica Daugirda and Liv Ashman who were just the nicest as well as seeing Georgina Hagen after many reasons who is always the nicest!

My final trip of the year was to see 2:22 A Ghost Story once again at Milton Keynes which was superb. I didn't know what to expect as I went to the show for the casting of one of my inspirations, Louisa Lytton who was sensational as Jenny - I left that show feeling so good and wanting to go back as the jumpy moments made the show for me. The cast were absolutely brilliant and really enjoyed the cast worked together throughout.

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. Karaoke was co written with Vanessa Murray and Katie Buckland, and produced by Tim Prottey/Jones of First Time Flyers. Karaoke  has an upbeat instrumental setting the tone beautifully. The first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. The second verse sees the song take another turn of when you feel like things aren't working out but you are determined to learn from the lesson it's given you. The chorus features many catchy upbeat lyrics that I could myself singing along with despite not knowing the lyrics 100% typical Kellie. There is so much passion within the lyrics and the more you hear the lyrics the more appreciation I gain. Love the summer of '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

-

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
