'Tommy' at the Royal Academy of Music

Just wanted to draw your attention to the Royal Academy of Music's production of 'TOMMY' which is on tonight (24th), Sunday (26th)at 7:30pm and Saturday (25th) at 2:00pm, directed by Guy.

'TOMMY' is a great show with a fantastic soundtrack and would be a fabulous way to spend a couple of hours this weekend!

It was one of the first shows I did at uni, and one of Rachel's first professional shows as well (which, coincidentally, is where she and Guy met! Aww!) and really is brilliant. I have spoken to Guy who described it to me as: "fab cast, hi-tech "empty space" theatre and a fantastic band" and he would love to see as many people there as possible.

At the moment I'm not sure whether I will be able to make it (the joys of working night-shifts over the weekend) but I am going to try my hardest! So yes, anyone stuck for something to do who fancies something a little different - go and see 'TOMMY' on at the Royal Academy of Music. Go go go!

Rachel at West End Live '11!

I was lucky enough to be at West End Live on Saturday. It was a brilliant day, filled to the brim with incredible talent, great entertainment and the strangest weather conditions I think I have ever witnessed!
Still, in a day of absolutely wonderful performances, Rachel's faultless and rifftastic 'Defying Gravity' definitely stood out.
I was near the front with my friend Gavin who managed to get these great pictures with his fancy pants camera and I thought you may all like to see!

Congratulations Rachel on another fantastic performance!

West End Live

Two of our regular readers - Dan and Georgia - were lucky enough to be at West End Live on Saturday and see Rachel perform a stunning rendition of Defying Gravity.

As usual Dan managed to get there early and grab a place near the front to record the excellent video below. Amazing, thanks Dan!



Thanks also to Georgia for the picture at the top of the post and mini review below.

"What a day weather wise, we went from being burnt, to drenched and even hailed on! But all in all the event was fabulous as ever, hitting the 10000 mark for attendance and the new venue was brilliant!

Of course Rachel was there as ever, and we were treated to Defying Gravity - the first time i'd seen Rachel do this live. It was AMAZING! Everyone around us was screaming and cheering and consistently all people talked about all day was Wicked, and in particular Rachel. Her dress was amazing, her voice was amazing, well made up for the rain!"

Finally, thanks to CampMotha for sending us the link to this excellent interview with a stunning looking Rachel sheltering from the rain in Trafalgar Square.

West End Live 2011

West End Live returns this Saturday (18th of June) and continues for the whole weekend. This brilliant event is totally free and a fantastic showcase for the very best that the West End has to offer at the moment!

Rachel has tweeted recently about dress fittings for the event so I reckon it's pretty safe to assume she will be performing - the 'Wicked' slot is at 11:35am on Saturday morning but it'll be worth getting there early and catching the rest of the performances as well as securing yourself a good spot as it's always packed!

Also remember that this year the event is in TRAFALGAR SQUARE unlike the previous years in LEICESTER SQUARE!

And bring your cameras - we'd love to feature some of your pictures and videos afterwards!

Fan Art, Twitter & Tumblr

Thanks to Emma for sending us the amazing drawing she did of Rachel for our girls big 30 a couple of weeks ago. Sorry for the delay in posting Emma but I've been away and only got your email yesterday.
