The first show I saw live I think was Wicked, but the first musical I ever saw was RENT on DVD and that’s where my love for theatre started.

I’m currently binge watching “Tiny House Nation.” I’m absolutely obsessed with tiny houses and one day I REALLY want to build one of my own!

Spotify is probably my favourite app purely because I love having music on, in one way or another, music always makes everything better!

[spiderdudeposts]

So this time last night I was watching @dehwestend for last time I could make to see it before it leaves the West End next month (along with the Broadway show) and I gotta say, knowing that, I cried extra hard, like I think I cried at pretty much every song, I adore that musical so much, like I know it'll probably come back in the future but not for a while so I just had to see it one final time and when I was already coming to the UK for Birmingham Pride (which I'm currently at right now), I knew this was the perfect time, this musical has such meaning to me, as I said before I went through a time where I felt like if I disappeared, would anyone really notice, luckily I don't think that anymore because I have such amazing people in my life to remind me of my importance but anyway as usual @samtutty and the rest the cast did an amazing performance and I will love this musical always 👕 👕 👕 #dehlondon #dearevanhansen #dearevanhansen #dehwestend #samtutty #evanhansen #youwillbefound #connormurphy #dehbroadway #dearevanhansenmusical #dearevanhansenbroadway #noelcowardtheatre #westendlondon #westend #theatrekid #theatregoer #musicalfan #musicaltheatre #musicaltheater #musical #musicaltheatrenerd (at Noël Coward Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci5rxr9j5fE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
