    Theatre Review: Chicago

    Byemfletche January 25, 2022April 26, 2022

    (AD Event Invite*) It’s not my first time watching Chicago on stage. In fact, I sat in this very same theatre 20 years ago, watching John Altman (aka Nasty Nick Cotton) give it the ol’ razzle dazzle as Billy Flynn. I dust off my black spandex bodystocking and head to The Alex Birmingham for Press Night…

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!
