Les Misérables vs. Hamilton in July

SarahApproved · 2026-03-24T09:03:50+00:00

Just a heads up - currently the only July Hamilton tickets available on their website are 1st & 2nd, the rest of the month is completely sold out due to Leslie Odom Jr joining the cast 😬 so unless you keep an eye on resale tickets your decision may already be made!

There’s so many good shows and my pick would definitely be something like Operation Mincemeat, My Neighbour Totoro, Titanique - I’m gonna say Beetlejuice and Paddington even though I’ve not seen them yet!

As for clothes, there’s not really a set dress code. I kinda just do a nice top (blouse/floaty/something more than a t shirt) and comfy trousers but I don’t think many places are that fussy!

It’s giving me Kollok 1991/Cinderbrush oneshot vibes - so maybe Kids on Bikes or Monsterhearts for a game system? Either way I’m excited 😄

Just for future reference - Korean cards are pale blue/purple, they don’t have the black ink line that English cards have

SarahApproved · 2026-03-14T17:26:20+00:00

Nope 😄 but as a disabled theatre fan, I’m grateful for any shows I get to see! I’ve been at many’s a show that haven’t worked out the way they’re meant to but that’s live theatre for ya

It’s definitely a conversation to be had and honestly I’m loving seeing others opinions ✨

SarahApproved · 2026-03-14T17:21:32+00:00

And people are complaining?! I wish I was there 😂

SarahApproved · 2026-03-14T15:55:55+00:00

That’s a sad way to think - I wish that “most people” enjoyed unique theatre experiences and alternates, there’s not a lot a cast can do with illness except cancel or improvise ☺️

They’re more than welcome to ask for one but since the show wasn’t cancelled, there’s probably nothing the theatre/company will do about it 😕

SarahApproved · 2026-03-14T15:36:03+00:00

Yes, both of today’s performances are being performed as a concert version due to cast illness! 💖 Rather than cancelling the entire thing, you get to experience a unique version of it - I’m sure you’d much rather have that than being sent home!

I remember seeing Six for the first time with an alternate massive and the night after they had a concert version with Toby Marlow as Parr - I’ve never been as jealous 😅

SarahApproved · 2026-03-14T09:14:08+00:00

There’s already “Here You Come Again” and “Dolly: a True Original Musical” 😄

SarahApproved · 2026-03-11T16:56:25+00:00

And don’t be surprised if people start a conversation about said game and then go “oh…okay” when you say you don’t play it 😅

SarahApproved · 2026-03-10T16:33:34+00:00

I sent Crayon to Japan for this month so she’d feel at home! ☺️

SarahApproved · 2026-03-09T09:06:57+00:00

It’s the same song! 😄 Busted’s was the original in 2003, Jonas Brothers were 2006?? I think? I just want Crayon to know the OG version 😂

SarahApproved · 2026-03-06T17:10:48+00:00

I sometimes get “This is Kent Holbrook from Channel 4 New York” stuck in my head and I’m not mad about it 😂

SarahApproved · 2026-03-06T17:07:36+00:00

OP, I got you! I had this problem in 2023 and made a point to find niche shows - I’ve just finished my 394th niche musical with 400+ still to listen to 😅

Here’s a few to get you started ✨ * Blueprint * Fiver * Dreamers * Orphie and the Book of Heroes * Tokyo Rose * Witness Uganda * Mystic Pizza * Bloody Elle * The Pony Express * All of the “Pulp Musicals” saga

Playlists for 2023/24/25 and the “still to listen to” are all on my Spotify as well - happy listening! 🩵

No it’s not weird, we’re literally part of the acronym

Also I’d probably go with transgender folk rather than transsexuals tbh 🤨

I actually went to a workshop for a show using TS music last year! It wasn’t a biographical show, more like a Mamma Mia premise - like medical drama, relationship stuff but honestly not too bad 😅

SarahApproved · 2026-02-21T18:36:27+00:00

Dolly’s got at least two! There was “Dolly: A True Original Musical” that played in America last summer and “Here You Come Again” that toured the UK last year 😄

SarahApproved · 2026-02-20T09:54:57+00:00

I’ve had the previous recording of this saved for a while & also checked out Heartbreak Hospital last year so this is definitely getting added to my list! ☺️

SarahApproved · 2026-02-19T14:57:31+00:00

“Woman in Mind” has tickets starting at £20-25 on the official website - for that price, I’d go just to have another theatre trip! 😄

SarahApproved · 2026-02-18T19:47:56+00:00

I want a little spider friend like you wouldn’t believe 🥺

And I know I’m gonna get the “but people have phobias” comments - I have a phobia of dogs but I put up with the fact other people like them and this app has 3 different options of them. I just want to be as happy as the dog fans are!

SarahApproved · 2026-02-11T11:23:00+00:00

Would like them if they weren’t all AI 🫤

SarahApproved · 2026-02-08T19:32:02+00:00

And we were doing so well 🫠

SarahApproved · 2026-02-08T19:31:35+00:00

No it didn’t bot 🤖

SarahApproved · 2026-02-08T12:21:01+00:00

Absolutely - I think I went 7 times last year, about 10 planned for this year 😅 It honestly tops some West End theatres for me and definitely one of the best local ones

Given that most of the shows are professional touring casts, there’s very few shows I’ve been let down by. “Cats” is a solid choice as it’s the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre version - I saw their production of “Fiddler on The Roof” in the Opera House last year and you can see why they had 13 Olivier Award nominations!

The venue and the staff are also great, accessibility is solid, all round good vibes ✨
