Another great piece Tracey. As you know I have my ticket for Champion and by sheer coincidence met the daughter, Caroline, of the chap who with Johnny Walker helped organise Ali's visit. He's standing on Ali's left in the Guardian photograph. Caroline had many photos of the visit and the sweetest is of Ali holding Caroline in one arm and his own daughter in the other.
And I saw The Bench at the Customs House - a simple sweet tale of modern times well told that I enjoyed. It's worth catching if you can.
Given that NUFC have a cup final next month, and possibly another (if they can pull it off) before the end of the season, I don't think anyone will be laying off anything football related in Newcastle anytime soon - whether you're into football or not!
I've seen plenty of theatre in St James' Park over the decades, Mel - some comedy, plenty of tragedy even on occasion irony and one evening back in 1969 was epic 😉
Yes, probably - I'm thinking of venturing further south in April to York's Theatre Royal and North by Northwest. It seems like Emma Rice is offering a very different interpretation of the Hitchcock classic.

Oh, that's amazing!
And yes, I will probably go see The Bench (but I do think Live maybe needs to lay off the football plays for a while after this...!)

Lol, true!

Oh, yes, I am hoping to see that too!
