REVIEW: Les Miserables UK Tour At Leeds Grand Theatre

Pippa Stacey — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 14:53:24 +0000

[AD – Press]. Thank you for having me, Leeds Grand Theatre – it was so good to be back. Keep scrolling for my chronic illness-friendly review! It’s always seemed like something of a crime that I call myself a theatre person and yet before last night, I’d never seen Les Miserables. It’s always been on […]

On Disability And Chronic Illness Inclusion In The Theatre Industry

Pippa Stacey — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 16:39:43 +0000

Back in 2017, before my work began revolving more around chronic illness and lifestyle, I started this blog to share my theatre reviews. As a former dancer, theatre became one of very few ways I could still engage with the performance industry after my health declined… but as somebody with a chronic illness, attending shows […]

Showstopper! The Improvised, Socially Distanced Online Musical – Q&A With Ali James

Pippa Stacey — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:17:33 +0000

This time last year, the words ‘social distancing’ would have had no place whatsoever in our vocabulary. Fast forward to July 2020, and the news that The Showstoppers would be performing a socially distanced improvised musical was enough to make my stagey heart sing for the first time in months. So many of us are […]

CRYSTAL – Cirque Du Soleil’s Breakthrough Ice Experience

Pippa Stacey — Sat, 07 Mar 2020 16:07:23 +0000

[AD – Press]. Complimentary tickets in exchange for review. Before we say anything else, it’s worth acknowledging that attending Cirque du Soleil’s latest production as press is something still almost incomprehensible to me. Having grown up with a love and appreciation for Cirque right at the core of my being, and finally being able […]

Dear Evan Hansen West End Review – Noel Coward Theatre

Pippa Stacey — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 17:39:48 +0000

Expectations: 5/5 Reality: 3.5/5 Chronic Illness-Friendly: 3/5 Dear Evan Hansen has been my most-anticipated Broadway to West End transfer since the Hamilton hysteria struck the UK. Similarly to Hamilton, I’d heard only glowing reviews of the show, so it felt like something of a miracle to be able to get hold of tickets within the […]

Pippa Stacey — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 16:49:16 +0000

To me, there seems no more fitting time of the year to enjoy theatre than during the festive season. Whether you’re a regular theatregoer or not, there’s just something that feels so special about bringing your loved ones together, getting dressed up and perhaps going for a bite to eat, and then heading off to […]
