Suddenly there’s something in between you and the sky... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You are here, at the start of a moment and I know this is not the end of your adventures. You might have to wait two years until you’re treading the aisles again but we all know you’ll be back up there in a heartbeat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the meantime, I guess you have to stay grounded... but you’re doing it with me so there’s actually no downside to this situation! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you get bored there’s always products to model and shows to see and holidays to take. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #comefromaway #meandthesky #virginatlanticcabincrew #cabincrew #virginatlantic #cloudsurfer #mybigsister #loveyou #flightattendant #youarehere #weallcomefromaway https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVAjmmHfyq/?igshid=1fe8gdm6zkwys

Lockdown has been such a great excuse to get back to nature, to take long walks and appreciate the natural world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s also been a great excuse to learn how to use Procreate and my new set of A5 prints are the result! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I had the idea to create a flower series showcasing all different plants and flowers that relate to lots of different musicals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first three feature lyrics from Bandstand, Calamity Jane and Les Miserables. Which one is your favourite?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Follow the link in my bio to buy yours now! You can purchase the whole set or just choose one. And they’re currently being marketed at a special introductory price so make sure you grab yours before June 15th. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #flowerseries #poppy #daffodil #iris #bandstandmusical #calamityjane #lesmiserables #a5prints #shopsmall #musicaltheatre #musicalmerchandise #supportsmallbusiness #lesmis #theatrelove #theatregifts #buyitnow #supporttheatre #procreate #mydigitalart #digitalartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOY03IHrw9/?igshid=13uylbmgmd4ef

With so much going on in the world right now I felt it was time for these prints to make their way out of the darkness and into the spotlight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to help the LGBTQ+ community celebrate Pride this year since they can’t hold parades or marches, and this quote from Everybody’s Talking About Jamie felt very fitting in the current situation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is so much uncertainty surrounding the pandemic; people are worried about their livelihoods, they’re separated from loved ones, they’re feeling trapped or anxious in their own homes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then there’s the protests that have sparked a global revolution. So many people are risking their safety to go out onto the streets, demanding justice and an end to racism. Not only are they possibly exposing themselves to the virus but they risk facing continued demonstrations of police brutality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And during all of this, Pride simply sparkles with hope, indicating that we can affect change through raising our voices. It’s a demonstration of acceptance and love. It embraces those who are brave enough to say that they are different and it remembers those who were persecuted for those differences. It is the glitter in a grey and unforgiving world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But just like glitter, pride is pretty hard to get out of just about everything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pride #pride2020 #etaj #jamiemusical #jamienew #prittipasha #lgbtq #lgbtqcommunity #musicaltheatre #musicalmerchandise #etsyseller #supportsmallbusiness #theatrelove #loveisloveisloveislove #glitterinthegrey #mydigitalart #digitalartist #procreate #westendtheatre #blacklivesmatter #everybodystalkingaboutjamie https://www.instagram.com/p/CBN5yUWHdkc/?igshid=h4wxs4lxvpli

“For the army we fight is a dangerous foe, with the men and the arms that we never can match.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether they fight with bayonets or riot gear, we shall meet them, voices ringing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe we cannot match their force. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe we refuse to match their brutality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But they cannot match our unrivalled need to see justice done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Barricade Day, then and now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “The color of the world is changing day by day...”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blacklivesmatter #barricadeday #lesmis #lesmiserables #victorhugo #shopsmall #patchcollection #musicaltheatre #musicalmerchandise #supportsmallbusiness #etsyseller #patchgame #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #westendtheatre #patches #sewonpatches https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEIGMeHzqL/?igshid=9ztrtbyu0yy4

That feeling when you’re waiting for theatre to return (and for international orders to reopen) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well you don’t have to wait any longer!! For international orders that is. Theatres are still closed unfortunately. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But wherever you are in the world you can now celebrate your love of theatre by purchasing patches from my shop! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You might not be able to see your favourite shows right now but you can continue to support them!

“Come home with me.” - Orpheus looking at this patch, probably. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Unlike Orpheus, you don’t have to sing a song to convince this patch to come home with you. You just have to visit the link in my bio and purchase one! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shopsmall #patchcollection #musicaltheatre #musicalmerchandise #etsyseller #supportsmallbusiness #patchgame #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #patches #sewonpatches #broadway #hadestown #orpheusandeurydice #buyitnow #supporttheatre #springwillcomeagain #orpheus #livingitupontop #comehomewithme #waydownhadestown #theatreandthreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CAauCswnir4/?igshid=okb4rsudkkrq

Why do we build the wall my children, my children? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Turns out we build the wall so I can use it as a backdrop for my photoshoots ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you want to do the same then just search theatreandthreads on Etsy (or follow the link in my bio), grab your Hadestown patch and tag me in your pictures! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shopsmall #patchcollection #musicaltheatre #musicalmerchandise #etsyseller #supportsmallbusiness #patchgame #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #sewonpatches #patches #broadway #hadestown #orpheusandeurydice #buyitnow #supporttheatre #springwillcomeagain #orpheus #livingitupontop #whywebuildthewall #onlyintermission https://www.instagram.com/p/CAS0SAYnq1b/?igshid=1wust0bkfdsw3

Now let the poet bless this round: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been working on a patch, I just finished it, Now it’s done, And when I sell it, Spring will come again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #patches #sewonpatches #broadway #buyitnow #supporttheatre #patchgame #supportsmallbusiness #etsyseller #musicalmerchandise #musicaltheatre #patchcollection #shopsmall #springwillcomeagain #hadestown #orpheus #orpheusandeurydice #livingitupontop https://www.instagram.com/p/CAP_lzqnh8E/?igshid=svl84w948s4y

If it’s true... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If it’s true what they say then I’d be on my way over to Etsy right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Surprise! I thought I’d order a new patch! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m beyond happy with how this came out and I was so thrilled when the cast of @hadestown started using #springwillcomeagain as their message of hope during this pandemic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hadestown, although I still haven’t seen it, is such a special show for me and this patch now carries a double meaning which I hope will resonate, not just with the Hadestown fans, but theatre goers everywhere. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Spring will come again and when it does we’ll be living it up on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So go on little songbirds, go and get your patches! What are you waiting for? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shopsmall #patchcollection #musicaltheatre #hadestown #springwillcomeagain #heylittlesongbird #embroideredpatches #musicaltheatrepatches #musicalmerchandise #etsyseller #supportsmallbusiness #patchgame #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #patches #sewonpatches #broadway #buyitnow #supporttheatre #musicaltheatregifts #broadwaybaby https://www.instagram.com/p/CANuIswHp0O/?igshid=18mc03mm9mqt4

Just hear me out - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Musical! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lockdown has inspired so many strange and creative projects in all of us and this was just another crazy idea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While it’s not strictly theatre related, it’s a bit of an insight into me as a person. I love Captain Jack Sparrow, I love stories that are full of high adventure and fantasy, I love dressing up, I love Disney, I love to read and draw and sing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love to be inspired by the things I love most. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like many of you, for the last few months I’ve been social distancing and some days I wake up and feel a bit numb. I just go through the motions but I don’t take any enjoyment out of the things I’m doing. Sometimes it’s hard to know what you even feel like doing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when something excites you, when it gets under your skin and makes you smile - just do it! Be silly. Dress up. Have a disco in your airing cupboard or build a blanket fort in your bathtub. Find ways to make yourself laugh. And then post photos of it on the internet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #meetyourmaker #justlockdownthings #captainjacksparrow #piratesofthecaribbean #etsyseller #lockdownlooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CANSulNna_o/?igshid=1uey5wn3zm3dq

Ever since I watched @bandstandbwayI knew I wanted to create something inspired by its heart and its message ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Therefore it seemed fitting to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day by sharing my tribute to the troops. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope this message resonates with more than just soldiers and heroes and veterans however. In the current crisis, our homes have become our sanctuaries and we shouldn’t take them for granted. Before you know it, it’ll be just like it was before and, having seen the kindness and unity this pandemic has brought about, perhaps that won’t necessarily be such a good thing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take today to remember and celebrate a time when we’d have given anything to be safe in our homes and think about all those who never made it back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s to welcoming victory home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bandstandbway #bandstandmusical #WelcomeHome #VEDay #WeWillRememberThem #75Years #veday75 #poppies #flandersfields #musicaltheatre #welcomehomemyhero #theatrelove #digitalart #procreate #mydigitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7QGCyHAdY/?igshid=oet46t5p27ue

So I’m sure we all know how to break in a glove by now but how do you break in a patch? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Don’t worry, this method doesn’t require any shaving cream!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First thing you gotta do is buy one! You can’t break in a patch without owning one. Luckily I know a pretty good place to shop for patches... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hint: hit the link in my bio! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Secondly you need to wear it, or display it, somewhere noticeable. Show off your patch to all your friends and neighbours! (That might be quite hard right now but maybe you could stick it in a window for people to look at as they pass by.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lastly you need to talk about it - and the place where you bought it from! If you spread the word and other people visit the shop and buy patches, I can put new patches into production and then you guys get cool, new musical merchandise! It’s a win win situation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I know it might sound like a pretty hard way but it’s the right way so remember: buy, display, share, repeat. Got it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #DearEvanHansen #WavingThroughAWindow #BreakInAGlove #BreakInAPatch # #YouWillBeFound #shopsmall #patchcollection #musicaltheatre #musicalmerchandise #etsyseller #supportsmallbusiness #patchgame #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #westendtheatre #patches #sewonpatches #theatregifts #broadway #buyitnow #supporttheatre #dearevanhansen #sincerelyme #forrestexpertise #forforever #musicaltheatregifts #broadwaybaby #thankyou https://www.instagram.com/p/B_plfucnsqt/?igshid=4kevdl5wcf4l

Celebrating #EarthDay the only way I know how - stepping into the sun in the hopes of getting burned. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sorry Evan... not quite what you advised but at times like this it’s just nice to get outside instead of waving through the window at Mother Nature! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #EarthDay #MotherNature #WavingThroughAWindow #DearEvanHansen #StayHome #YouWillBeFound https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SvjnlHzo8/?igshid=gfilmqoaqzgj

And finally it’s here. So let your friends obsess over your forest expertise when they see this amazing Polaroid patch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the best part is, it’s included in the shop wide sale that’s taking place right now!

Remember when I saw #JamieTour and I met @theshanerichie and he called me sweetheart and I was so happy because he’s Alfie Moon! I love Alfie Moon! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then to make my night even better I met @laytonwilliams and he laughed at me and we took photos and it was such a good stage door experience. Maybe even one of my best. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With the spread of coronavirus however, experiences like this will have to take a backseat for the next few months. A lot of performers who are still doing shows at this time are limiting their presence at stage door. Most are stopping it all together because our health has to remain the priority. And while this is upsetting and disappointing, it’s the right thing to do to maximise safety and prevent the spread as best we can. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the meantime, we all need to reminiscence about our favourite stage door experiences and share some positive, happy memories. So comment down below and tell me all about your favourite show; about meeting your favourite performer; about your favourite stage door experience and let’s start looking forward to a time when we can all enjoy the theatre again once we’ve beaten this virus! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shopsmall #musicaltheatre #supportsmallbusiness #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #westendtheatre #2020theatre #everybodystalkingaboutjamie #andyoudontevenknowit #dragqueen #slayallday #prosfromtheshows #sewonpatches #broadway #supporttheatre #stagedoor #stagedoormemories #jamienew #locochanelle https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rwau1Hb1F/?igshid=8sx9rom4r04t

Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why he even brings the thunder [Why he even brings the thunder] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hi, I’m Megan and that’s Lisa and we’ll be auditioning for the roles of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whenever I listen to Hamilton I end up laughing at Madison and Jefferson. They’re so petty in their triumph; backing each other, thinking they can outsmart Hamilton with their wit and their words when really, they don’t stand a chance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes I think Lisa and I can be like that. It doesn’t matter if the odds are stacked against us; we will always have each other’s backs and occasionally, if we manage to do something pretty awesome, we’ll probably gloat about it together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And let’s face it, I nearly always have a cold so Madison is the perfect role right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Back at school, Hamilton was our first real musical obsession. It was the show we knew we had to see together and we were lucky enough to fulfil that dream. Every day we would compare who had learned the most lyrics, which song we currently had stuck in our heads, who could rap Guns and Ships the fastest (Lisa) and who had cried over the least depressing song (Megan) I always cry over Yorktown? Apparently I just get really emotional when they win things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We even accidentally indoctrinated some of our friends into the Cult of Hamilton because we played it so often during study sessions! I would normally take this opportunity to apologise for being so annoying but I’ll never be sorry for our love of theatre and the fact we’re kind of ridiculously amazing. If anyone fancies a rap battle then hit us up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shopsmall #musicaltheatre #supportsmallbusiness #musicaltheatrepatches #theatrelove #westendtheatre #2020theatre #patchgame #broadway #meetyourmaker #broadwaybaby #hamilton #wholiveswhodieswhptellsyourstory #linmanuelmiranda #theroleyouwereborntoplay #castusinamusical https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mZyZCnmKg/?igshid=1mka98mgtv4nc
