Whoever thought it was a good idea to call a company’s customer service department “The Happiness Team” deserves prison time

Season 2 episode 1 of Smash is WILD. I have whiplash.

Who’s afraid of little old me…well you should be #thetraitors

Streaming Taylor Swift extra loud this morning. Queue consists of The Man, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.

Ooft. I can’t stand to scroll anymore but I also don’t want to get up and act like everything is normal when it does feel like the end of days is approaching.

Naaa fuck Smash coming to Broadway, who is going to bring the Bruno Mars musical from episode 3 to the stage?

I’m watching Smash for the first time!!!!!

I will miss Anna because she always looks like she’s off to ABBA Voyage #TheTraitors

Here we go ♥️🗡️💀

I have a really weird enquiry. I’m desperate to come back to New York but hotel prices are wild. Do I have any mutuals who would be willing to let a theatre loving, English girly crash with them (PAID! Just not at crazy Manhattan hotel rates)? I will give you London/UK theatre goss in return…

With respect, SHUT THE FUCK UP THAT IS SO EXCITING! Oh MY GOD I’m going to have to come back for that. Good job it’s not far and cheap to travel from London …

WHAAAAT what is Gracie cast in!!!!!!!!

(I actually didn’t and I would be a terrible and ungrateful friend if I didn’t acknowledge this and say a big THANK YOU, MEGAN♥️)

The difference between The Eras Tour and Hadestown OBC presale ticket sale? I got tickets for The Eras Tour

I’m lucky to live and work in London so I can also try for a return. I’m hopeful the OBC cast will extend their run. Would be a win win all round, surely?!

I got to the front of the queue and (like seemingly many others) got booted out and to the back. Just got the email saying no general sale either 😬 hopefully they keep doing rush on Today Tix …

This is obviously bad and scary but unfortunately “a deceptive and scheming devil, it has emerged” is going straight into my vernacular

Ahhh another year of being utterly mortified by my Spotify Wrapped while also knowing I will do absolutely fuck all to change it next year

I am so glad you said this because…the cop thing is a weird choice, right?!

I never ever want to forget the look of sheer bewilderment on my best friends face as she watched the trailer for the Robbie Williams Is Inexplicably A Monkey film for the first time

Ariana Grande has her boyfriend on film and soundtrack saying “I would do anything for you” which is a power move

In honour of Wicked part 1, here is a selection of my 2010 Facebook statuses (I was 13)

Just saw the Wicked movie. Cinema is SO BACK baby!!!!!!!!

I expect he did. He’d have been a fantastic and viable candidate. It’s not like the Old Vic is a consolation prize.

Lots of layers (instead of a big coat) and pack a tote bag in your smaller bag! You can tie layers round your waist and put the rest in the tote, including your smaller bag.

Bring back fishtail braids!

He was fab! We reunited years later - he was a friend with one of my musical theatre teachers at college. He said it was so lovely to see that journey come full circle for me.

A fun fact about me is that when I was in primary school our steel pan teacher found out I was obsessed with Wicked so would play the songs on piano for me while I sang.

Bonus fun fact is that I only recently found out that most people didn’t learn steel pans in primary school!
