It was a great night at the Royal Festival Hall yesterday where Hollywood and British Cinema came together to celebrate the best of the year’s movies.

What a couple of years it’s been for breakout musical star Tobias Turley. After winning Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream in 2023, Tobias then completed a successful run in the West End playing Sky in the worldwide smash hit.

Every day there is new information and footage being released as the claim and counter claim continue in the fallout between these two Hollywood players. With the Me-Too movement rightly adjusting the male biased power dynamic existing behind the scenes of tinsel town, this at first glance seemed just another sad case of a woman…
“LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DIDN’T DO, ITS ABOUT WHAT WE DID DO” When getting the tickets for this production I was really intrigued. First, because I have never seen a one man show and second because of the plot and its promise of being a poignant original comedy. To tell you the truth…
