Myself and Holly have just got back from an evening at the theatre, and what a way to end the day! ๐ญ
We went to see Beetlejuice: The Musical, which has just arrived in the UK, and wowโฆ what a show! If youโre a fan of the film, I think youโll absolutely love the musical. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐ฅณ
Musical theatre scratches a creative itch that nothing else quite reaches. Itโs so much more than a performance. Iโm completely fascinated by the costume design, the sets, the lighting, the choreographyโฆ the sheer number of moving parts is mind-blowing. ๐คฏ
Somehow, it all comes together so seamlessly that it feels effortless, even though you know an incredible amount of creativity is happening behind the scenes. Itโs even more impressive when you remember many of Londonโs theatres are wonderfully old buildings, each with their own quirks and limitations.
Tomorrow is the moment Iโve been looking forward to all yearโฆ the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Every single year it fills my creative cup, and this year feels even more special because Holly and I are hoping to bring a piece of art home with us.
I canโt wait to take you along. โค๏ธ
