Stick Man Live 2024! Stick Man Live has been a stalwart of the London Christmas theatre scene for more than a decade a decade and I’ve been a consistent visitor to rvmeview for my blog. Itt never gets old, I, and my children (more importantly), love it every year and have failed to see how Freckle Productions could have made it any better – it’s simply brilliant. However, this year it does come back with a bit of an extra […]
The Snowman – Sadlers Wells 2023! As far as Christmas traditions go, making Raymond Brigg’s “The Snowman“, a Sadlers Wells production staged at The Peacock Theatre in London, one of yours is always going to be a good idea! It’s simply magical and no matter how many times we see it, we never tire.

Thankfully they invited me back and yesterday my musical theatre partner in crime (long time gal pal Anna) and […]

I remember going with friends when the big two were tiny and they said they could totally imagine they’d still be seeing this show even when the kids were grown up and didn’t want to go anymore. To be fair, I can’t imagine anyone growing out of it so I suspect […]
Operation Ouch Live At The Lyric! We were in London yesterday for some festive fun and were very kindly invited to see the new Operation Ouch Live show on at the Lyric near Covent Garden. This is a show the big kids devour on TV, especially Jimmy! It’s filled to the brim with biology, experiments and facts about the incredible things our body can do so it’s no wonder – I have a friend who tells him gory stories of […]
Sadlers Wells The Snowman At The Peacock Theatre, London! A regular fixture on our calendar has been to see Sadlers Wells The Snowman by the Birmingham Repertory Theatre at the Peacock Theatre in London – we missed last year in the 2020 hiatus and though a slower pace of life and festive build up was actually quite worthwhile I found, there were certain things that we really did feel wistful about – Raymond Briggs’ story of The Snowman in ballet […]
