As the title of this post might suggest I finally got a chance to see Wicked at the theatre the week before last. It’s been on my “before 30” list for the last few years, ever since I first read the book so as soon as it announced it was going to be coming to the Bristol Hippodrome (where it’s on until 21st March if you fancy seeing it) I knew I had to go! Thankfully my best friend is far more organised than I and sorted out tickets for myself and a couple of other friends. I was blown away by just how good the show was, I mean, I had high hopes to start with but this exceeded expectation- if you’ve ever been wondering if you should go or not, then trust me, you should!

Best friend and I decided we’d dress up a little for our theatre trip, although with no grand plans beforehand bar a cheap and cheerful Wetherspoons dinner (won’t lie, I love it!) I didn’t want to go too OOT! This dress, made a little more casual with some flat boots was just the ticket, I last wore the dress for the Christmas before last so it was long overdue an airing.
I’m really getting in to statement jewellery again, having been very lazy with it for far too long. These pieces that lolaandgrace kindly sent me are just stunning, and I’ve been wearing them for work, rest and play. Hands down my favourite jewellery brand available on the high street I’ve been lucky enough to build up quite a collection over the last year or so.
What’s the last thing you went to see at the theatre? I think the last time I went was to see Peter Pan at another Bristol theatre, the Old Vic. I wish tickets weren’t so expensive, I’d see a show every week if money allowed!
You look great, love your dress! 🙂

I love the theatre. I went to see To Kill A Mocking Bird in Bath last month, also went to Dirty Dancing on Bristol last year, both were amazing. I would definitely go more often if it wasn’t so expensive. The dress is lovely, I love the stud detail on it.
Did you think it was better than the book or not as good. Because usually, I prefer the book but I read the book a good 8 years before I saw the musical and I MUCH preferred the musical- missed out all that weird philosophy club stuff and Fiyero dying and all that. Glad you enjoyed it! That dress and shoes look SO good together- really really amazing look! And maybe it’s because I am used to seeing your pictures on my phone but they look really crisp on the computer!x
You look stunning here, I really love that dress! I love going to the theatre but only seem to go when there is an Agatha Christie thing on, I think I need to expand my repertoire, haha!

I LOVE this dress on you. The detailing is just SO gorgeous and it;s a really nice touch to a simple style x
Laura that dress is gorgeous x
This is a beautiful look on your Laura – love the embellishment on that dress. I can’t remember the last time I went to the theatre but we did go to the SF Symphony last week, if that counts! x
