- BWW Feature: We Unpack The COVID-19 Vaccine Trial Numbers, Theatre Style! - At a time when returning to packed theatres wasn't safe, I enjoyed using my scientific brain to pull together this article to explain just how many people the COVID-19 vaccine effort had involved in theatre terms.
- BWW Interview: Sara Bareilles Chats WAITRESS at London's Adelphi Theatre - I'm a huge fan of Sara's work, including Waitress, so getting to speak with her about joining the West End cast and why certain songs in the show evolved was a real pinch-me moment.
- BWW Feature: The Renaissance of the Religious Musical - One of the many hats I wear is I also go to church, I noticed quite a lot of shows were being revived that were based on biblical tales and I had a great time unpicking some of the reasons why, and roping in the thoughts of some of the best talent in the west end.
