Curly Hair, Who Cares

You've seen Page to Screen, you've seen Screen to Screen, now it's time for Stage to Stage! Specifically, Be More Chill, the musical sensation nobody is talking about. Be More Chill: Broadway to West End My standard bathroom selfie So, if you remember my series on New York , you'll remember that I went to see Be More Chill on Broadway, and I loved it. While in London to get tattooed, I decided to take a detour out of Victoria Station, and decided to head to The Other Palace theatre to see if I could bag a cheeky last minute ticket for their production of Be More Chill. It happened to be literally the second preview when I went, and I manage to grab an excellent seat for the low low price of £35 (I don't even want to think about how much I paid for my adequate Broadway seat). I really wanted to see it in the West End, but had resigned myself to saying that I saw it on Broadway and nothing could live up to that. I was very wrong about that. I LOVED this pro...

OK well honestly this post isn't just about Greggs, but rather the rise of veganism in the UK and people's over the top reactions. Curly Hair, What's in There? : Greggs The controversial pastry So if you live in the world, you'll know that this week Greggs launched their new pastry: the vegan steak bake. It's made of quorn and vegan gravy, with a butter and egg free pastry. Sounds delicious, and I can confirm that it is (I just ate one). Earlier in the year they also introduced a vegan sausage roll, which flew off of trays and sold out of Greggs stores across the country, and for good reason: they taste so good. In all honesty I don't know if I ever had a real steak bake before going veggie so I can't really compare, but I can say that it's got a great flavour and is a great alternative.  The real reason I'm writing this, however, is because the General Public is up in arms, and I can't understand why. People are asking why vegan...

Let’s talk about Disney! I saw Frozen 2 the other day and loved it so I want to discuss. Spoilers, obviously. Curly Hair, What's in There? Frozen 2 Poster for the movie Frozen 2 follows the events of the first movie with Elsa as queen of the happy kingdom of Arendelle, Anna and Kristoff content as ever and Olaf just being Olaf. It starts with a flashback to Anna and Elsa as children playing 'enchanted forest' with the ice powers, and their parents tell them a story about a real enchanted forest and the spirits of the four elements and their mother sings a lullaby which, when you think about it, foreshadows the whole movie. We then skip forward to present day where Elsa is hearing a voice calling her and although she doesn’t want change she’s drawn to it. So, when the kingdom starts to ruin she decides she needs to follow the voice and save the kingdom, by travelling to the enchanted forest. Here she discovers histories and secrets of Arendelle she’d never befo...

We've all noticed the recent trend in this phrase, and the outrage it's caused on the internet. Personally, I think it's a step forward in youth culture, and here's why. If you want to know the reasons; if you're a boomer, or if you're exasperated with a boomer, read this. Curly Hair, What's in There? : Ok Boomer I'm a part of that in between generation: born in 1998, I'm just too young to be a millennial, and a little old for Gen Z. We're not really sure where we belong but we share the same experiences as both generations. I like this tweet to sum it up: if you were born before 1996 you are a millennial if you were born after 2005 you are gen z if you were born in between then you are an honorary member of the black eyed peas — elise morgan (@crocfanpage) July 3, 2019 We're kind of stuck in the middle of the two groups, but we also have the same current mindset: boomers suck. In the past we've tried to explain things to ...

You all know how much I love musicals. Like, a lot. One of my favourite musicals of all time is Falsettos, and I was lucky enough to get to see the London production this week. This is my review (prepare for a lot of excitement). Curly Hair, What's in There? : Falsettos For those that don't know: Falsettos is a composite of stories written in 1979-1990 by William Finn and James Lapine. It starts in 1979 and follows Marvin, a gay man who leaves his wife Trina and their son Jason, for his lover Whizzer. It explores these complex relationships, partly through Marvin's psychiatrist, Mendel, who goes on to fall in love with Trina. Act two skips to 1981, and deals with the organisation of Jason's bar mitzvah, as well as the AIDS crisis, and introduces the 'lesbians from next door'. It's an incredible show as it's hilarious but also heartbreaking and sweet as anything. Now that the plot is done, let me go into detail of what I loved (all of it). ...

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the last few weeks I've shared all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is a seven part series, a post for each day, plus I'll add the last day to this since it was kinda dull. Sunday was amazing and here's why: Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Seven) Sunday was possibly my second favourite day (after broadway of course) since this was the day we went to the Central Park Zoo. I love a zoo and this one was particularly fun. Pretty much the whole day was the zoo. Rather than describe it all, I’m just gonna show you all these cool pics : a terrible picture of a snow monkey i like penguins  And some more animals which I can't entirely remember what they all are: RED PANDA IS CUTE Here's some shockingly bad pics ...

I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Saturday was great fun. Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six) Saturday was another fairly chill day. we went to the New York Public Library first thing, to see the original Winnie the Pooh toys, which were so cute and amazing to see. If you didn’t know, I adore Winnie the Pooh. It was a big, pretty building, in which the A.A. Milne box was the highlight. This was in the children’s library though, and I don’t think children are going to appreciate these as much as adults are. Although, they are trying to keep the stories alive over the generations so maybe they do care. Anyway, that was super cool and I would 10/10 recom...
