Day 3: He’s a victim of his own genius

Onto the third day of six, and luckily I only have to work during the afternoon – so a bit of time to recover from the previous two nights before heading into town again to procure a ticket and work for a bit. I was still feeling quite jubilant from the previous two shows, and […]

Day 2: Bewitching, beguiling

So it was my first day combining work with challenge week… It’s just as tiring being part-time as it was on my previous full-time weeks! It was a pretty full-on day at work, so knowing I had the show to look forward to in the evening made things a lot better. Especially as I ended […]

Day 1: Bow to the inevitable

Sunny Challenge 4.0 got off to an early start, thanks to the fact that I had to travel back across the country to return to London – so straightaway I’m pretty exhausted. Perhaps doing the show six nights in a row is going to be a physical challenge after all? It’s hard to believe that […]

Sunny Challenge 4.0

It’s taken a while, but I am now finally heading into my first challenge week with the 2015-16 class of Sunny Afternoon! Circumstances haven’t been on my side so far this year – either having money but not the time, or the other way round. Luckily a week freed itself up for the days leading […]

Cast member of the month: Megan Leigh Mason

Suddenly we only have two months left with a Sunny West End! And so our penultimate Cast Member of the Month at @SunnyAftFans HQ, taking over from the glorious Charlie, is leading lady Megan Leigh Mason. Megan trained at Rose Bruford College (several other Sunny cast are also alumni), and has had a few stage […]

Life after Sunny Afternoon… Part 3

It’s been a while since parts 1 & 2 of this series, and there have been developments, so it seems like a good time to have a look at where our Sunny alumni are now… At the end of July I got the news that you know I’ve been waiting for: Adam’s back in the […]

Meet Ryan O’Donnell

Last month, @SunnyAftFans named alternate Ray Davies (Ryan O’Donnell) as Understudy of the Month. Since that announcement, we’ve learnt that he will be taking on the leading role in Sunny Afternoon’s forthcoming UK tour! This weekend he also led the first full ‘Cover Kinks‘ matinée performance at the Harold Pinter. So, as is now customary […]

The show must go on: Cover Kinks

Sunny history was made yesterday when, for the first time, an entire cover band of Kinks assembled for a matinée performance! Thanks to the World Cup 66 Live event clashing with a scheduled show, rather than cancel or postpone the decision was taken that the show must go on – and why not? Our brilliant […]

Meet Oliver Hoare

Throughout July, we at @SunnyAftFans HQ have celebrated Oliver Hoare as our Cast Member of the Month, following on from the beautiful Niamh. This seems to have been quite a popular choice; reviewers & regular theatregoers alike always seem to rave about our Dave! He’s great entertainment value, and is equally adept at bringing out […]

Sunny Afternoon touring cast

And to celebrate, SFP have also added several new dates to the already busy schedule: Venue Cymru, Llandudno (14 February – 18 February) Bord Gais Energy Theatre, Dublin (21 March – 25 March) […]
