Had a little happy cry tonight. I got to see in concert in London at , which is a heartfelt and beautifully scored new musical written by Leonora Brooks who is one of our Readie tribe. Not only that, but the show featured two other Readies Hannah Day and Aniella Charalambous, and to hear the three of them sing Leonora’s music on that stage had my heart filled with pride and joy for them all 🙂 What a wonderful thing to experience, and so lovely to see yet another READ alum in the audience, Megan Van Zyl too 💜 Big love to you all - I’ll look forward to catching the show again in Edinburgh!

Please do post any shows you are in or involved with to the page or to the alumni group - I want to come and see as many of you as possible whenever and whatever you’re up to, and keep our beautiful community alive!
