Fidler on the Roof
What a delight to revisit the @bordgaisenergytheatre for another mesmerizing musical production! This week, we had the pleasure of experiencing the timeless classic @fiddlerontheroofuk, a poignant tale of tradition, family, and resilience set in 1905's Anatevka. The Jewish milkman Tevye @matthewwoodyatt, a devoted father of five daughters, faces challenges to his values from both his family and the evolving world around him. Will he find a way to balance his heritage and his

Our Long Weekend in Prague 🇨🇿
Our long-awaited weekend escape to Prague finally arrived — and honestly, it couldn’t have come at a better time after the eventful week we’d both had. Once I got home, finished packing, and dealt with a few last-minute IT issues, it was time to grab the bus to the airport. While waiting on Westmoreland Street for our connecting Aircoach, Niamh nearly missed the bus over a donut. A donut. 🍩 (You can’t take her anywhere.) At the airport we breezed through security, and althou

Benson Boone
Perfect Friday Feeling 🎶✨ After a long week, it was the best way to start my holidays — heading to the @3arena to see Benson Boone (@bensonboone)! We were lucky enough to snag standing tickets in the presale. Elliot James Reay (@elliotjamesreay) opened the night with his amazing set — we caught most of it (just missed the start thanks to buses and traffic). He’s an English singer whose sound beautifully bridges 1950s rock ‘n’ roll with a modern twist. Before Benson came on,

One Republic
After quite a hectic Thursday, we finally arrived to @3arenadublin for @onerepublic, a band which we both have liked over the years and many of their songs.. I’ve been a fan of @ryantedder song writing talents and the various songs he has wrote with other artists and for tv shows over the years.. Once the door opened, we made use of the 3 Plus Lounge to relax before the opening act @ellahendersonofficial came on to get the crowd excited and dancing before @onerepublic came on

Here and Now
Sunday Funday! Heading back to the @bordgaisenergytheatre for another show, @thestepsmusical. We initially had tickets for the cancelled show later in the week, but now we're stoked to see this jukebox musical based on @officialsteps' hits. Set in the seaside superstore Better Best Bargains, where music and dance reign supreme on Friday nights, the story follows Caz as she uncovers secrets and betrayal that threaten her friends' summer of love. Can love conquer all? This mus

Busted vs McFly
Busted vs McFly – A Fun-Filled Monday Night at the 3Arena Finally, the Monday night in October we’d been waiting months for since snagging presale tickets — Busted Vs McFly! We’d seen McFly live a few years back (they were brilliant!), but sadly couldn’t use our tickets for Busted at the time because one of us was unwell. So this “VS” show felt like we were making up for lost time — and the excitement was real. The weather wasn’t going to dampen our spirits as we made our way

Norway
Halloween Adventure in Norway 🇳🇴 🎃 👻 Our long-awaited Halloween trip finally came about — this time, to Norway, another destination ticked off our bucket list! With a later-than-usual flight ✈️ and the clocks going back an hour ⏰, our sleep pattern was a little off. After some rest and last-minute packing, we ordered a taxi to the airport. However, due to road closures for the marathon, we had to walk a short distance to meet our driver — who thankfully got us to the ai

Calamity Jane

When we became aware that this Doris Day classic musical was coming to Dublin, we got tickets for the front row during presale for opening night.

Rocky Horror Show
Another Tuesday night meaning another trip to the theatre @bordgaisenergytheatre When we heard Jason Donovan @jdonofficial was gonna Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show and were able to get member rate tickets, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to witness this musical again especially with Jason in the lead role. The last time we experienced this phenomenon was over 13 years ago in the same venue for the 40th anniversary of the musical.The opening of the show with
