Heading to local theatres straight from the West End, Waitress is a show that is taking the UK by storm, one slice of pie at a time. Based on the film of the same name, this musical has been adapted by the legendary Sara Bareilles into a sweet show that covers serious topics such as domestic abuse and adultery, but is packed full of comedy, drama, and superb singing. 

As part of its tour it has now opened up at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton and Max and I couldn't wait to see the show. It was one of the last shows that I had seen pre-lockdown and the songs were still in my head to this day. 

Footloose is an iconic 80's film that truly gets toes tapping and people dancing. It's a film that doesn't take itself too seriously whilst entertaining the masses at the same time. Based loosely on a true story, Footloose is set in a place where dancing and fun is banned, and where one young man is on a mission to overturn that ban and allow the community to dance again. 

It's now also a show that is currently touring the UK and has a cast that brings this iconic story to life in a way that had every audience member on their feet. In a time when theatre's are still closing due to Covid, Footloose reminds you that everyone deserves a song and dance. Currently gracing the stage of the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, Max and I headed along to kick off our Sunday shoes and join the fun.
