I spent over ten years transforming a black box into a winter wonderland. Have you ever wondered how much work goes into staging a musical or pantomime? As an audience member you remember the glittering scenery, incredible costumes, toe-tapping songs and hilarious moments that make you laugh so hard you cry. It’s what makes theatre so special. Why you return to your favourite musicals. Attend your Christmas pantomime annually with your family and friends. With the visual WOW factor, ticket sales would be lower, right? When you next think about how your brand looks, think about if it’s got the WOW factor. It doesn’t need to be glittery and jazzy.

As part of my PhD research, I'm exploring how musical theatre fans engage with their fandom in different spaces. I’m looking for participants who have attended events like MusicalCon, BroadwayCon, the V&A Reimagining Musicals exhibition, the Museum of Broadway, West End Live, or similar events. If you’ve been to any of these or other musical theatre-related events, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take part in my study. The survey consists of 32 questions and should take about 10 minutes to complete. The first three questions are about you, while the rest focus on your experiences at these events. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you can answer as much or as little as you’re comfortable with—you’re also free to skip any questions. Here’s the link to the survey: https://lnkd.in/en-7ZMUr Thank you so much for your time and help!

I saw The Wiz last week with friends. We clapped, laughed, and smiled nearly the whole time watching the musical. In addition to the outstanding singing, dancing, performing and set design, there were a few life lessons worth sharing: 1)   Nobody can make it out here alone. We can do incredible things in community. 2)   You are braver, stronger, and wiser than you think. You already have everything you need to succeed. 3)   Ease on down the road. Take the next step, and the next one. Keep going. #lifecoaching #careercoaching #groupcoaching #peersupport #LessonsfromTheWiz
