Cameron Clark - Theatre reviews

 Visited- Wednesday 9th February 2022 (Mattinee show) Venue - Adelphi Theatre, London Similar to Prince of Egypt, Back to the Future The musical premiered in February 2020 in Manchester, just before the pandemic. Moving to the Adelphi Theatre in 2021 as its new home, this brand new musical had so much hype from lovers of theatre, and back to the future fans.

To talk about your emotions Having the strength to do things on your own. This website sums it up perfectly - https://au.reachout.com/articles/9-things-we-can-learn-from-harry-potter After visiting the studios in October and meeting new Harry Potter Fans, it made me realise just how much the franchise is loved by millions. When the show debuted in 2016, I stayed away from spoilers, and didn’t read the play script until after the show, so I went in completely blank. This was my most anticipated show on the west end for over 5 years, and we finally managed to get tickets. Plot The story follows on from the last scene in the Deathly Hal...
