To honour World Theatre Day, I’m going fully method to prepare for our Musicals Special on Tuesday 7th April. 🎭

I’m listening to Liza Minnelli’s fabulous new autobiography on Audible plus emersing myself in her wonderful music. For me, the legendary Liza with a Z is the GOAT of Musical Theatre… ❤️

So tell me, what is your favourite musical theatre show, song and performer? Let’s inspire each other! 🎶🌟
