For the first time in my 17 years @thestage.bsky.social I’ve overseen The Stage 100. A massive undertaking but a rewarding one, celebrating as it does so much talent! We now have a category for children’s theatre & and an expanded section for independent creatives. Congrats to all on it!

Had the best time seeing Starlight Express - our third outing and my daughter’s current favourite! The added bonus was a meet & greet with the two stars. So magical (for me & her!) #theatre #musicals #starlightexpress

Tomorrow is the gala performance of The Devil Wears Prada. I was so honoured to be asked to host the launch of this show a few weeks back and interview the one & only Elton John on stage. Something I’ll remember forever! #theatresky #eltonjohn #prada
