West Side Story is coming to The New Alexandra Theatre
It is probably the best musical of all, and certainly one that changed the nature of them, bringing the musical kicking and screaming into the 20th Century. And now it has embarked on a nationwide tour, and will be hitting Birmingham next week. Yes, it could only be the Jerome Robbins and Leonard Bernstein masterpiece, ‘West Side Story’, the show that transferred the doomed romance of Romeo and Juliet to the brutal gangs of New York. This new production of “WEST SIDE STORY” features the entire original Jerome Robbins choreography, and has already played to sell-out audiences around the world. It will now be coming to Birmingham’s New Alexandra Theatre…

Brits 2014 – Kate Moss, Katy Perry and Beyonce sparkle
Wednesday saw the most important night in the British Music Calender, with the presentation of the BRIT awards. I can’t say I was that impressed with the actual ceremony, for a night that is supposed to be a celebration of all that is great about the British music industry, it sure was dominated by overseas acts in the performances, from Lorde to Beyonce by way of Bruno Mars and Katy Perry. That said, there were some true fashion moments that night. In fact, the Kate Moss appearance may well rate as the coolest Brits fashion moment ever (or at least a tie with Geri Halliwell and the Union Jack tea…

Style Icons – Miley Cyrus
It is quite a feat to be named both best and worst dressed star of the year, but in 2013 Miley Cyrus has certainly polarised opinion. The days of Hannah Montana have long since disappeared, as have the boho period and the glamorous Hollywood look that was far too old for a girl barely out of her teens. This has been the year that Miley Cyrus was the name on everyone’s lips, and she made sure her wardrobe would also be a talking point, for both the right and wrong reasons. Aside from the now infamous ‘twerking’ outfit, which made Miley look nude and encased in a giant condom, I…

Get the best looks from the Q Awards with Boohoo
Last night saw the Q Awards, with some of the biggest names in music gathering to support the great and good as they collected hard earned awards. Robbie Williams, Jake Bugg and one of my 90s faves, Suede, were all at the event, but as with any awards ceremony, what I was really interested in was the fashion on show. Girl of the moment Ellie Goulding was on hand in a beautiful Temperley London dress. Although I profess boredom with the sheer skirts, I like this one, which is a litte like a cocktails style with an 80s style netting. Maybe it was the fact it had a little skirt…

Beyonce sets the V festival alight
She has been the talk of Twitter all this week thanks to a rather cute pixie haircut. Was it a wig? Had she really got rid of the mane like extensions? Well, yesterday the truth was revealed in all its glory when the incomparable Beyonce took to the stage at the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex. She was, of course, brilliant, and, for fashion lovers, she also proved a visual treat, with a series of costume changes throughout her show. The hairstyle was no longer a pixie cut (which reminded me of when she played Etta James in the film Cadillac Records), instead it turned out to be a rather…
