On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me … seven brothers courting

Whether your taste in musical theatre is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Matilda or Les Mis, musicals have a wonderful way of taking us out of ourselves, the combination of singing, dancing and acting, whatever the story line, transports us to other worlds, not just physically but emotionally.

Or perhaps you would like the gift of the Seven Dwarfs and Snow White. To many of us, the Christmas season is not complete without a pantomime. Joy. Escapism, just occasionally, in whatever way works for you, is perhaps a necessary part of modern life.

Follow me for the next verse, tomorrow.
