 Showstoppers is a celebration in song and dance of the very best of musical theatre. Hosted by Colin Bunyan and Alex Hall from BBC Tees and directed by Alison Dale, it's an unmissable evening for everyone who loves those glorious songs from the shows:

June 6th 2010 at 7.15pm at Middlesbrough Theatre, The Avenue, Linthorpe, Middlesbrough.

Tel 01642 815181. All tickets £10. Proceeds to the Holistic Cancer Care Centre, James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough.



I’m not even going to begin to grovel about how long it is since I updated last but here we are it’s March (I’ll live to regret that reference to the month if the next time I update refers to Christmas Lights).  It’s a glorious day and my eye is taken by the early spring sunshine  shimmering on the torn Asda bag festooning the Clematis.

So what’s  been happening? Well, the second grandchild (predicted to be female by eager radiographer) turned out to have rather more bodily bits than expected. Harry William was born to Holly and Andrew on August 6th 2009.  Looking forward to his 4th birthday is elder grandson, Joe William, (do you see what we did there? Grandad Bill was a hero to all our family so both Nick and Holly chose to include his name. His first name; his middle name was Morpeth, like in the North eastern town.  Never heard of anyone else with that name. Nana Milly had delusions of grandeur). We are all well and happy.

Songs from the Shows continues to attract thousands of musical theatre loving fans. Sundays from 5pm on BBC Tees. Email me (alex@alex-hall.co.uk or alex.hall@bbc.co.uk) if you would like a dedication. If you want a request for a specific song, please give me as much notice as you possibly can.

The wonderful ShowStoppers will be in rehearsal soon. A glittering cast is being assembled and I’m on a Big Diet to get into a Posh Frock.

Show Roundup!
Very much looking forward to Stockton Stage Society’s The Wizard of Oz directed by Roy Thompson. It’s on at Arc next week, Monday 8th March to Sat 13th with a matinee on the Saturday at 2pm. It’s a wonderful opportunity to introduce small children to the theatre. I took Joe for the first time when he was almost 3 and wasn’t sure whether he would sit through but he never moved and really looks forward to going now. 

On the show yesterday Roy told me about the wonderful technical effects and computer generated imagery that he is using. It sounds amazing!

Be sure to let me know if you’re doing a show, if you’re really keen, you can come on the show and talk about it. Looking forward to hearing about Teesside Musical Theatre’s forthcoming production of ‘Footloose’ (early April) as well as  Darlington Operatic’s  next show, 'Jesus Christ Superstar' (late April).  And don’t forget to book your tickets for SHOWSTOPPERS!!!!!!!!
