Ad – Believe In The Cher Show

AD/PR EVENT-As always, all views and opinions are my own.

Last night, Kevin, Quinn and I had the pleasure of being invited along by Aberdeen Performing Arts to the press evening of The Cher Show at His Majesty’s Theatre.

This epic new musical is in town for a five-night stint at His Majesty’s Theatre. The show tells the story of Cher’s meteoric rise to fame as she battles the various obstacles that were continually put in the way. This is a powerful musical that touches on the emotions as Cher makes her way through an incredible fifty year career.  

The brand new production is produced by Strictly’s Arlene Phillips and choreographed by Oti Mabuse.  

Three west end stars play Cher – Millie O’Connell as Babe, Danielle Steers as Lady and the Oliver Award nominated Debbie Kurup as the Diva as the story takes us through her younger years raised by a single mother to her leaving home at just sixteen to make her way in the unforgiving entertainment business. Her entire life and career is played out expertly in a glitter fest of her famous costumes.  

The show features her greatest hits, including Strong Enough, I Got You Babe and Believe. The last scenes had the entire audience dancing in the aisles! 

The Cher Show is at His Majesty’s Theatre, Aberdeen until Saturday 8th October. You can find good availability here at Aberdeen Performing Arts.

Ad – Dreamgirls

AD/PR EVENT-As always, all views and opinions are my own.

Last night, my mum and I had the pleasure of being invited along by Aberdeen Performing Arts to the press evening of Dreamgirls at His Majesty’s Theatre.

Direct from the West End, Dreamgirls was a musical I really couldn’t wait to see and the talent on stage blew me away!

The show is a musical rollercoaster as three singers and friends Effie, Lorrell and Deena take us on as they seek fame with their group, named the Dreamettes.

Caught up in the glamorous and competitive world of the entertainment industry in the 1960s, a ruthless music industry pushes their friendship and loyalties to the limit.

Effie White – played by Nicole Raquel Dennis, wowed the audience with her incredible voice, gave me goosebumps! Jimmy Early – played by Brandon Lee Sears, provided the show’s entertainment.

Dreamgirls is at His Majesty’s Theatre, Aberdeen until Saturday, September 10th. You can purchase tickets here.

Ad – Billionaire Boy Live on Stage

AD/PR EVENT-As always, all views and opinions are my own.

Last night, Kevin, Quinn and I had the pleasure of being invited along by Aberdeen Performing Arts to the press evening of David Walliams’ Billionaire Boy.

Quinn is a keen reader of David Walliams children’s books and we were excited to see one of his fiction tales live on stage. The Olivier Award nominated West End production of David Walliams’ Billionaire Boy was a hit!

Just like the novel, it tells the story of 12-year-old Joe Spud who, as the country’s richest boy, has everything he could ever wish for, except one thing – a friend.

In pursuit of a friend, Joe persuades his dad – the billionaire bum fresh inventor to allow him to leave his posh school and move to the local comprehensive. At his new school, Joe learns that money can’t solve everything!

It was a fun filled show, and we were all keen to see Raj – the shopkeeper who stars in all the novels with his humour and special offers.

The show is a perfect treat for the kids during the school holidays, especially for those who have enjoyed Walliams many novels.

It’s in town until Saturday, August 13th. You can purchase tickets here.
