Coming up in 2018…

Well, we’re all still here… The big red button hasn’t been pushed yet and theatre is better than ever! I’m starting as I hope to go on, and making sure I have the odd night off here & there – as much as I like being busy and seeing as much as possible, there were […]

End of 2017 report

With Sunny Afternoon officially off the radar (I’d kept Wimbledon in mind, but timing & prices sealed it), 2017 was set to revolve almost entirely around the Globe. There was also the tiny thing of my solo trip to New York to think about early on… Despite a slow, measured start, I upped the pace […]

Mind the Blog ‘on tour’ 2017

I have to admit, my line about Mind the Blog going ‘on tour’ more this year was basically a reference to my secret New York trip that I’d been planning for a few months prior to writing the post about my plans for 2017. But, in the end, it has turned out to be a […]

Life after Sunny Afternoon… Part 4

As we begin the final ever Sunny week, I thought it would be good to give you a bit of an update on what people are up to – it’s been quite some time since part 3! And I spent a fair amount of that time following Adam’s show at the Globe and on its […]

Meet Tom Whitelock & Kay Milbourne

So this month at @SunnyAftFans we have been celebrating Tom Whitelock & Kay Milbourne as Cast Member & Understudy of the Month! Kay may ‘only’ cover one role, but she’s made no less of an impact as part of our beloved Team B. The only problem is we don’t get to see her that often! […]

“They make my heart go giddy-up!”

That photo pretty much sums up how I feel right now. Last night I achieved the ridiculous, and saw Sunny Afternoon at the Harold Pinter Theatre for the 200th time. Considering there have been only 530 days between its first preview and yesterday, that’s an effort that most would call unachievable & (frankly) insane. And […]

End of Team B week

So, this has been Team B week! Though for we Afternooners, pretty much every week is Team B week. Did I mention before that we love them? If you’ve been following all of our platforms, I hope you’ve enjoyed meeting our heroes and learning more about them. If you’ve only just seen this now… Well, […]

Team B week

I may have mentioned before that Sunny Afternoon’s understudies (known to us as Team B) are proper heroes of mine. So far I’ve written ‘The show must go on’ blog posts parts 1, 2 & 3. A long overdue 4th instalment should be with you fairly soon too… They even featured on my Sunny Advent […]

Sunny Advent

In place of an actual advent calendar this year, I decided it would be fun to look through my memories of Sunny Afternoon so far and pick out some highlights to create a virtual advent calendar! Yes, my picture is terrible (I only had Paint to my disposal, OK?) but you get the idea. So […]

Day 3: Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning

I’m still smiling after last night! It was a pretty spectacular evening, for several reasons. The company I had was great, the show was fab and I really enjoyed yesterday’s challenge. Despite the fact that the cast have seen me over 100 times, they’re still generous with their time when I need it – got […]
