My year in theatre 2025 - With 163 shows seen (not including concerts), I've seen a lifetime of theatre in just 12 months. Here's a blog post with some of the high and low lights devotedtotheatre.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-y... #theatre #londontheatre What was the best thing you saw this year?
*waves*! It was more than 163 if you include concerts. I've done a bit of reviewing for 1883 Magazine this year and some Offies assessments. Writing reviews is not an easy task. They take at least a couple of hours to write something decent, longer if the show was a bit meh.
Yes, this. So much this ⬇️

That's grifting and a half! I'm not sure how much more eye-rolling my eyes can take 😯
Happy birthday to my old Worcester SYT chum, Rufus @nationaltheatre.org.uk . I hope it's a good 'un!
It's horrifying. Apocalyptic even.
Blimey, it's a bit chilly today! 🥶🧊
I was disappointed to see you that C4 is running this too. I figured you might have something to say about it!
I imagine there has been an increase everywhere. It's utterly depressing and feels like a battle that will never be won.
And Cary Grant
Frank Sinatra
As we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Devoted and Disgruntled next year, we are looking back at stories that have come out of, shaped and contributed to D&D. What does D&D mean to you? Was there an interesting experience or change that happened because of a D&D event? Share these stories with us!
I was there for press night. It's really good!
If you're out for a Boxing Day walk and spot a memorial bench, be a sweetie and snap a photo of it for openbenches.org
THANKS GANG!

Best Christmas thread every year!
One of the musical theatre whatsapp groups I'm in is going crazy for this today! *Everyone* is posting their list and there's much debate about which list is better!

New bloggage: I've published my review of the play I saw tonight technokitten.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-...
TL:DR It's a 90 minute bonkers but brilliant roller coaster ride of the who, what, why and how of the French Revolutions at The New Diorama Theatre. Recommended.
Do you or someone you know use assistive technologies online?
Tools like screen readers, magnifiers, voice control, adaptive keyboards, or customisations (e.g., high contrast, etc)? If so, I’d love to hear from you—especially in you're in the UK.

And it's exactly how my day is going! There is a need for a long lie-in today after theatre last night followed by 3 hours singing Musical Theatre favourites at Overtures @ Louche.
“We need a brand name that has a faint whiff of the exotic, but also conveys a strong sense that we are people in the business of selling garage doors”
That is my hope!
I'm sad to read that @adalovelaceday.bsky.social Live is closing. So much so, I wrote a blog post about it. technokitten.blogspot.com/2024/11/so-l... FWIW, despite the multiple closures of DEI projects in STEM, the work is not done. Well done to @suw.bsky.social for all the hard work put into this.
It's that cutting up the beer tokens time again. Yes, Swedish Beers in Barcelona is tonight at Space Cowboy from 7pm. Not registered yet, do it now please! swedishbeersbcn2024.eventbrite.co.uk #MWC24 #swedishbeers I'm really excited to be seeing everyone later! Skål!
Cabrini. What a film! What a story. I did a short review over on Insta. TL:Dr go see the film. You need to know this story and know this extraordinary woman.
