Hi all, I wanted to drop you a few words about myself and my plans for 2017. My name is Michal, originally from Poznan, Poland but living in Edinburgh since 2012. I'm not an artist or a theatre professional, just a theatre lover (especially musical theatre). Since I like musicals so much, I decided to see as much things as I can in 2017. So far I got tickets for the following shows in Edinburgh Playhouse: - Wonderland (already saw it and liked it)
- Thoroughly Modern Millie (already saw it and liked it <but cringed at Mrs Meers>)
- Evita (seeing next week)
- The Commitments (March)
- La Cage Aux Folles (March)
- Sister Act (April)
- Funny Girl (April)
Last Sunday I saw Cynthia Erivo in London and loved every second of it. Apart from that I am planning to see Audra McDonald in April, Dreamgirls in May or June and loads of shows during Edinburgh Fringe.
I hope to enjoy this year as much as I can!

Nope, definitely better than even some of our Theatreboard natives too. Welcome, Michal! I hope you're very happy here.  |

I wouldn't have known what it was like back then, as I was 3 years old You should go now! It's really nice for a weekend city break. Thank you, although I'm more of a forum lurker, I do appreciate a place where people write about things I like (at least my poor partner who doesn't share my love to the theatre doesn't have to listen to me babbling). |

not sure what's happening in the summer...
November (London)

Wow, ali973 makes my plans look so bland! I wish I could see as much as you are, but living in Scotland gives me limited possibilities.
