As a musical lover, you want to see as many shows as possible and, some you want to see over and over again. Feeling that joy when you are in the theatre is the best feeling ever. I saw some of my favourite shows during my four-day solo trip to London.
š«§ Wicked š«§
My adventure started where it ended during the cast change of Wicked in March. I fell in love with this musical a year ago and was eager to see it with the new cast, in which Glinda was played by Lucy St. Louis and Elphaba by Alexia Khadim. In this performance, the role of Elphaba was played by the amazing Amy Webb.
I sat in the front row, which has a fantastic view. Wicked releases 24 first-row seats every Wednesday for the following week. It's a great experience because of the interaction you have with the cast, and it's like being in the show.

š«š· Les MisĆ©rables š«š·
Those who are familiar with me know that I am a fan of Lucie Jones. I had never gotten the opportunity to witness her performance in Les MisƩrables before, nor had I attended the show at all. For the full experience, I booked a first-row seat. Witnessing the expressive performances of Jean Valjean and Javert, the leading roles, from such a close vantage point was truly a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Les MisƩrables is one of the West End's longest-running musicals and an absolute must-see, even if you are not a fan of musicals. The cast is incredibly talented, and their vocals are exceptionally powerful.
š” One piece of advice: bring a box of tissues.
āļø Frozen āļø
Recently, I had the pleasure of seeing the talented Samantha Barks perform in Frozen the Musical. It was not the first time I saw this magical show and I think I fell in love with it. No matter how many times you have seen it, it always remains as special and magical as the first time.
The vocals, ensemble and cast were amazing! The show has incredible special effects together with the decor is it a magical show to watch.
