"I hate musicals" ............ is something I've said on the breakfast show in the past........... doubt crept in after the release of Mamma Mia at the cinema. Paul and me only went along because all my friends kept on and on about how 'feel-good' it was plus there were stories of  
some going to see it dozens of times - and I'll admit I did love it!   
How would I rate a 'proper" musical though - you know - on stage - in a theatre. Well, I  finally got the chance to find out last week when Les Miserables rolled into Norwich at the Theatre Royal. Rob hasn't made a secret of the fact that's it's his favourite musical -in fact ,he has been known to burst into a few bars of a song from Les Mis when in the studio! - to be honest I felt knew most of the songs anyway!  What a show! If you've got tickets and you've not seen it before - you are in for a treat - loved the scenery - the atmosphere - the story - oh yes - and the songs. If you've any suggestions of other must see musicals - let me know.

It was a hectic couple of days at the Royal Norfolk Showground this weekend for the EDP Wedding Show - it was - in the words of Nessa from Gavin and Stacey - 'immense"  Got chatting to loads of people about Heart - the breakfast show - wanting to become a Heart Angel - Race for life etc. I was there to introduce the first of the daily fashion shows. It was great to have a show where women of all sizes were shown wearing wedding dresses  -  not just 6ft beanpoles - let's have more please!  The thing that brought a smile to every woman's face in the audience was the sight of 3 men on the catwalk  wearing kilts - what is about them that brings out the giggles? Are they funny or sexy?............. you decide............ love to know what you think!
