It is difficult to type because my hands are red raw after attempting to give the Russian Ice Stars the applause they deserved following tonight’s Cinderella on Ice performance at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn. Telling the story of Cinderella the stars gave outstanding performances from beginning to end with much more than ice skating skills to entertain the audience. To fulfill […]

Gorgeous Llandudno hotel, an award win and perfect blue sky – what more could we ask for?
24 Dec 2013
If you went to Llandudno on a cold, winter Friday night in the hope of winning an award then where else would you stay than an award winning hotel where the ceremony was being held. The best way to reduce the risk of ruining my hair do or overworking the heels walking from one venue to another was to book […]
I know it’s the time of year when there’s plenty of repeats on the television but this isn’t a repeat blog – I promise! But you may have heard me say the annual pantomime at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury is the best yet – yes I said the same last year. But this year the producer’s of Sleeping Beauty – […]
By Rhea Alton The last time I went into the former Swan Inn in Frankwell I was armed with a pool cue and ready to make my mark on the Sunday league. Admittedly that was quite a while ago and I spent much of my visit concentrating on the pool table but I was still completely unprepared for what awaited […]
Milkshake (and ice-cream) Live…..
23 Feb 2013
Finally taking the big step into the theatre world with a toddler in tow was a move I had wanted to make for a while – and my hand was forced when Theatre Severn announced Milkshake Live was heading to the stage, and every mum I knew in a five mile radius seemed to already have a ticket!! I have […]
I said it last year but I’ve said it again today “That was the best panto I’ve ever seen”
08 Dec 2012
Last year I said Shropshire lad Paul Hendy’s production of Aladdin at Theatre Severn was the best I’d seen but today I was lucky enough to be able to say it again after watching his company Evolution Productions’ version of Jack and the Beanstalk at the same venue. Dame Trott (played by Brad Fitt and also director of the show) […]
Oiled, wrapped and cooked = inches lost!
10 Oct 2012
Today I took an hour out of my day to be lathered in oil and wrapped in “cling film” before lying on a heated bed and covered in a warm duvet. Relaxing music on, lights dimmed and sleep. Perfect lunch hour – much better than an hour of hard-core exercise in the gym. Intrigued? Well that hour was spent having […]
Shropshire’s West End……
05 Sep 2012
It is common knowledge among my friends that I am a fan of the musical genre….many birthdays have been spent in the big smoke with friends and family taking in another musical masterpiece and heading home raving about what we had seen. But now there is no need for me to travel to London to satisfy my need to watch […]
Oswestry Show… wonderful but very wet!
04 Aug 2012
From the moment I can remember the first Saturday of August has always been spent at Oswestry Show and 30 years on that day is spent exactly the same way. As a young girl I remember proudly going to see daddy on “the stand”. Now my two boys proudly run up to grandad on the stand begging for permission to climb […]
Persuading a cheeky 18-month-old boy to sit still for longer than five minutes is a challenge in itself, so I approached Theatre Severn with a certain amount of trepidation to watch a stage show with my son for the first time. The Wheels On The Bus is aimed at children of all ages and is a classic “sing along” affair, […]
