and Colin. These beauties brighten my days.
It’s 2 years since I did a
#Top100Musicals
poll here on Twitter!! Can’t believe it. Time for an update? I think so. Let’s do this. List in order your top ten STAGE musicals (NOT FILMS) and I’ll rank them all to create a new top 100.
Ok. For those who have been waiting - here is the COMPLETE list of all 417 shows as voted for by you all. It’s taken me ages and there’s probably a much easier/better way to present this but that’s all my limited technology skills can manage. Enjoy.

Dear Mr Mackintosh, Sir Cameron, please can we have a revival of The Witches of Eastwick. There are lots of people waiting patiently. You can do it!

On my train home. 4 BRILLIANT shows in 2 days. The BEST choices. My feet are throbbing after no tubes on Wed and hotel nowhere near theatres but happy and full! Bye bye London.
My first visit to
@NewWolsey
and there’s a lovely message in my seat welcoming me, by name. So far I’m loving my visit. A special Kinky Boots cocktail preshow. Great seat. Very friendly team.

Yes John. I taught for 35 years. I loved it but it was FULL ON. People still have no idea how much work teachers and school staff do above and beyond. The government don’t care one bit about schools and teachers. Thank you and well done to your wife and all teachers. We owe them!
To EVERY single person involved in bringing theatre to life THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. You are amazing! What better life than bringing total JOY to others. Keep breathing. Xxxxxxx

On my way home after London theatre trip. Reflecting. Operation Mincemeat was my favourite show this time. Definitely hoping to see it again with a better seat. Brilliantly funny. Fabulous score. Wonderful team.
This show is magical - like a Disney parade!

I had the biggest smile on my face throughout and my heart leapt with the sheer joy of
