Come on then everyone, who got something theatre-related under the tree from Santa? Whether it be tickets, memorabilia or vouchers, who got lucky this Christmas?  |

Bought my parents tickets to see The Play That Goes Wrong at The Lowry and also got them the cast recording of Georgy Girl, The Seekers Musical, which is currently touring Australia (my dad is the ultimate Seekers groupie!).

I didn't get any stagey gifts this year, but I got lots of money from my parents and Grandma (which I was very grateful for!) so I'll be purchasing the Playbill calendar which I buy every year, and the rest will probably go towards the train in and out of London!  Edit: Oh, I tell a lie, my best friend took me to see In The Heights for xmas a few weeks ago, which was brilliant! So generous of her! |

I'm the same, I didn't get any specific stagey gifts, but I did get quite a bit of money which will no doubt go toward some stagey doings... and clothes.  |

Dreamgirls tix. I also got a long wished-for, recently published book by Robert Wagner entitled "I Loved Her In The Movies" about the legendary film actresses he's worked with. At £21.49 from Amazon I was expecting a gorgeous coffee table tome, complete with glossy photos. What I opened was a diddly, thin hardback, consisting of 230 pages, complete with occasional grainy photocopied snaps on rough, crappy paper. Mr Tibidabo said that my face on unwrapping the present showed only a tenth of the incredulity of his on opening the Amazon box! How reserved was I?! I also managed to swallow the naughty words that sprang to mind.....after all, it WAS Christmas! Still, I'll keep an open mind - it might be a good read.....albeit a somewhat short one!  |

I'm not one for memorabilia but my mum surprised me with an antique silver brooch in the shape of a ballet dancer. It was such a unique and different gift and I'm absolutely thrilled with it.
