Theatre review: Little Red Riding Hood at The Customs House, South Shields britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/little…

Poolside reading in the Med. Fascinating insight into the admirable ⁦Barbra Streisand⁩ herself as well as a detailed chronicle of American show business from Broadway to Hollywood over 60 years. And she’s helpfully compiled ⁦Spotify⁩ playlist to illuminate the book!

Visited recently whilst in Krakow. Nothing can prepare you for the sheer evil and unfathomable scale of the slaughter. Currently re-reading The Escape Artist Jonathan Freedland which goes some way to explaining why the Nazis felt unchallenged & empowered to enact the final solution

A proper treat in the company of two of the UK’s finest singers. A remarkable tale of one the North East’s most prolific songwriters. His comic songs were beloved by artists like Bobby Thompson and his ballads by Matt Munro 🎶🎭

Brilliant and emotional show last night! A fitting way for supporters of The Customs House to celebrate the achievements of Ray Spencer MBE and to look forward to the next chapter. And of course Ray will be back as Dame Bella in Mother Goose later this year!

After 30 years at the helm ⁦Ray Spencer MBE⁩ is retiring from his day job ⁦The Customs House⁩ But he’s stepping away in his usual understated, no fuss way! 🕺🎶

40th anniversary screening of Chariots of Fire ⁦The Fire Station⁩ with ⁦David Puttnam⁩ Nigel Havers, Alison Curbishley and Steve Cram What a treat! 🎥

Great to see so many young people in the audience ⁦Sunderland Empire⁩ for the new musical Bonnie and Clyde. Terrific score and rip-roaring performances from the charismatic leads.
