13. Brassed Off, ADC again.
Some obvious production teething problems - but who cares when whole brass band on stage?

Interrupting a fortnight's holiday for 9, The Pirate Queen, at the Minack Theatre, at the very edge of Cornwall. The ADC has some way to go to match this view...
Photo from the top of the Minack Theatre, an open-air auditorium carved into the cliffs of western Cornwall. The stage overlooks directly onto the sea, with the faintest hint of sun poking through the clouds above

8. The Frogs, @swkplay.bsky.social.
If not the best of the year so far, certainly the best Sondheim show I've seen in some time

6 [title of show], Cambridge ADC.
Because after four hours at the beer festival, why wouldn't you go see an impromptu musical about writing a musical?

4. Tonight, back at the ADC for Amélie. Performances were great, but it turns out it definitely helps to have seen the film first to have any idea what's going on...

Nice to see Iain Duncan Smith has done so well for himself
Photo shows a promotional plate from the St Bernadus brewery attached to a wall at the Cambridge Blue pub. It features a ruddy-cheeked monk who looks suspiciously like a certain Quiet Man of British politics

2. Alan Menken, live at the London Palladium - I'm very much the lesser Disney fan in this relationship, but even I'll admit to knowing most of these songs...
Amazing way to round off an excellent anniversary weekend

It's been a long time, but being in the room when The Hold Steady do their thing is still every bit as good as it used to be #UnifiedScene
