If you do one thing in Leeds over the festive period – go see ‘Aladdin’ it’s crazy! By Tiffany Belle Harper #review
From the 24th November right through until January 7th brings Leeds the ‘must see’ panto for Christmas and the coming new year! ‘Aladdin’ with a twist! It’s a musical where the actors are also the band. Probably one of the quirkiest shows I’ve had the pleasure of visiting to date. A plethora of Motown, Disco and Rock vibes lyrically tell the story of the boy with a magical lamp – where the bustling pace bubbles over into a cheekily camp and very fast witted belly laughing experience. Do click on the images to see the full sized action!
The standard of passion together with instrumental and vocal ability is a must to witness first hand. The actors run around the theatre engaging with the audience. Huge boulders fly from the ceiling!

The costumes are colourfully bohemian, together with a good layering of ostentatious and glittering stage make-up!
City Variety Music Halls is set within the hub of Leeds city centre on a side alley named Swan Street. There’s plenty of pubs, restaurants and bars in the area. Something for everyone!

City Varieties Music Hall remains unspoiled by comparison to the often formal and crammed venues of today. The seats are really comfy with plenty of leg room. The vicinity is well ventilated. The staff are just lovely. It’s a home from home experience. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and thank you ever so much for making us feel so welcome and for the shout outs!

All you need to do now is book your tickets here! City Varieties Music Hall

Begging the Question by Sherwyn Jellico #review by Tiffany Belle Harper #bookreview (OCD and Depression in Poetry)
Begging the Question: Commentating depression and OCD in a frank and ‘deeply’ creative way. An artistic, viewpoint in book form by writer and poet Sherwyn Jellico who also illustrated and edited his first book, ‘Begging the Question.’
Begging the Question is available now on Kindle. Here’s my review via Amazon.
[A deep and somewhat tangled look at the complexity of the human mind. Coupled (or tripled, even) with a sense of frustration that ignites with a genius and controversial take on many digressions the brain and subconscious will take throughout various stages during our lives. I believe ‘we’ all experience segments of this thought provoking journal of mind and expansive expression. While many may be in denial, Sherwyn Jellico nails the conditions he describes with an openness together with a ‘quirky’ and definitely off-beat gift of words.
‘Begging the Question’ an educational insight into the ‘prime’ awkwardness created by today’s expectations within ‘aged’ establishments that deem those not of ‘mainstream’ unworthy or obscure. Fascinating read. One of those manuscripts you can open on any page and find a new journey within wit and obvious sorrow. Begging the Question doesn’t tackle resolve but more a revelation that I find refreshing. We sometimes need to share and not to preach. To listen and absorb. I have found this educational, particularly for my well-being groups that I host where I try to approach with alternative methods. One of which being, ‘to listen – to learn – to grow.’]
You can download ‘Begging the Question by Sherwyn Jellico via Amazon HERE. It’s currently £3.00 a copy. This post is not an advertisement or endorsement. I purchased the book as it’s useful for the work I do as an Alternative Therapist. I love all things unconventional, stepping out the box if it comes from passion and truth.
