I had planned to go and see it while I was in New York in 2017 but didn't so then when it opened in the West End in 2019 I had also always planned on going to see it but somehow never managed to get around to it. While I was there I decided to stay an extra day so that I could finally go and see Dear Evan Hansen, a show I've loved since they released the first song back in 2016. I love London and I genuinely like exploring it so this wasn't too much of a hardship even if it meant that I did have to go all by myself. ![]() ![]() Naturally, all gigs take place in London and London alone ( I've been here with Il Volo before) so if I wanted to see Cornelia it meant a trip to London. I was seeing Cornelia Jakobs, she was the Swedish entrant in Eurovision this year and was my personal favourite of the year so when she announced a UK tour date I absolutely had to go. I'm just back from a solo trip to London. ![]()
