    Theatre Review: The Bodyguard at The Alexandra Theatre Birmingham

    Byemfletche December 5, 2023December 5, 2023

    It’s time to get all 90s nostalgic with The Bodyguard (The Musical) at the Alexandra Birmingham. Part glitzy pop concert, part chick-flick with an awesome Whitney back catalogue of power ballads, soulful melodies and upbeat pop

So what IS a Brummie?

Welcome to my World!

Alright bab?

I’m Emmalene, a forty-something born and bred Brummie. Married to Chris. AKA Mr Fletche, taker of photographs, driver abroad and long-suffering travel companion.

I’m a big advocate of eating, drinking and supporting local independent businesses.

But travel is my passion. Simple, easy travel. Here you’ll find how to cram all the sights into a weekend city break. Accidental hikes. Travel fails. Honest rambling travel diaries. Where to find craft beer, gin and street food.

We fit travel around full-time jobs, making the most of weekends, Bank Holidays and maximising those precious annual leave days!

Apart from travel, I love to read books, listen to music, drink gin and visit the theatre.

I always love to hear what you think so please like, comment or share!

Happy travelling…home and abroad!
