Good morning
It's midnight on Friday and I've just finished. The
normal schedule of sending out a weekly
newsletter has been interrupted slightly with auditions
and last minute Sky News calls. The website hits doubled this
week as those who were on holiday visited to see what to do with
the kids. Horton Hears A Who would be my choice of film it was a
lot of fun. For theatre entertainment, you can't go far
wrong with Half-A-Sixpence, it was great to perform in and
is being enjoyed by audiences across the UK.
But there is SOOOO much more going on, and the links below will
take you direct to something you can put in your diary or click
and buy in an instant.
Have a fantastic weekend, it looks like Spring may have arrived,
at last.

Zorro The Musical, at King's Theatre, Glasgow

The Legend of Diego de la Vega, aka Zorro, is back on the
streets of California once more, in a swashbuckling (ish)
showdown of music, dancing and pyrotechnics. The Kings'
matinee performance of Isabel Allende's Zorro musical was
sadly cut short by a technical malfunction, but I valiantly
returned to complete my viewing of Zorro's latest outing.
