Saw Mamma Mia on stage for the first time this week and
1. Very impressed with how faithfully they stuck to it when they made the film
2. Key themes shone even brighter on stage

I did do some contemporary opera work, thanks to my DYCP 🤩
Unexpected but pleasing side effect of panto this year is my fresh appreciation for Wonderwall and Stay Another Day

I wrote about "the juggle" in an old blog post, and there's definitely a few balls in the air right now. If you're up to date on my book-ish show, here's a change of topic:
