Mickey Jo
If I'm being completely honest with you, I currently have mixed feelings about 2025 in British theatre because there are many high profile openings happening this year that I don't have complete faith in. So as we look to the year ahead, what I thought I would do today is tell you both about those things. I am genuinely excited about the things I've already seen that have the Mickey Jo Theatre stamp of approval and also those productions which I am cautiously optimistic about in the hopes that it can help you decide what to see in 2025. Oh my God. Hey. Welcome back to my theater themed YouTube channel. Or hello to you if you are listening on podcast platforms. My name is Nicky Jo and I am a professional theater critic and content creator. Here on social media I increasingly travel around the world seeing theatre internationally, but the majority of the shows that I see are right here in the UK and that is where we are going to be directing our focus in today's video as we look ahead to all of the currently announced shows for 2025 and I let you know how I feel about many of them. Now this is always a very requested video. People always want to know which shows I am recommending in 2025 and there are many that I can genuinely tell you I know are great. There are others that I'm really excited about and there are a handful that may be good and I hope they are going to be good, but I don't want to lead anyone astray. We are going to be implementing a traffic light system where everything gets one of three different badges. Either cautiously optimistic, genuinely excited or the Mickey Jo Theatre Seal of Approval. The coveted Seal of Approval said absolutely no one. It is possible there is something brilliant that has completely slipped my mind while I was putting this video together. If there is a production which you are excited for or which gets announced subsequently after I sit down and make this video, which is bound to happen, isn't it? Feel free to share that one in the comments section down below as well as your thoughts about all of the shows that I am covering in today's video. As always, if you want to stay up to date with all of these shows, if you want to find out what I think of these as and when they do open, stay tuned here on YouTube or on podcast platforms where I will be sharing my reviews. Make sure you're subscribed or following me with the notifications turned on so you don't miss that coverage. In the meantime, let's dive right in and let's talk about some of the most Exciting British Theatre in 2025. Now we're going to be doing this chronologically and we're going to begin with January, including a newly opened musical. In fact it officially opened last night, which is also when I shared my full YouTube review, which you can go and watch or listen to now if you would like to. I am talking about Titanique at the Criterion Theatre. This is an off Broadway cult hit and they have just opened in the West End with an all star West End cast. It spoofs the plot of the 1997 James Cameron Titanic film and it does so using the music of Celine Dion. It's hysterical, it's queer. It's a riotous time at the theatre and it is playing ongoingly in 2025. Go and find out what I thought about it and book yourself a ticket if you would like to see. That carries the Mickey Jo Theatre seal of approval. Now the West End's next big musical opening is happening next week. I have not seen this production yet despite the fact that it did play a regional tryout last Chichester Festival Theatre. I am talking about the new production of Lionel Bart's Oliver brought lovingly back to the West End by Sir Cameron McIntosh in a new staging directed by Sir Matthew Bourne with again a stellar cast. I'm particularly excited to see Simon Lipkin playing Fagin in this production. I will be seeing this on its press night next Tuesday. Stay tuned. There will be a review here and everywhere where you enjoy my reviews as soon as I can get it onto the Internet. Look for that next Wednesday the Years which was at the Almeida. Everyone loved this. I staggeringly little about it but you bet I'm going to be trying to catch it while it's in the West End. If you want to go and see the most buzzy award winning plays, I dare say this one is going to be a little bit of a contender at this year's Oliviers. This is beginning its strictly limited 12 week run at the Harold Pinter Theatre from the 24th of January. It sold out at the Almeida. I think this might be a hot ticket with the play crowd. Make sure to go and check this one out because I'm very excited about it. The other one is Kyoto. I'm going to be reviewing this at the tail end of next week I believe so stay tun for my thoughts on that one. It began performances at at Soho Place yesterday. It's having a 16 week season there. It's a new political thriller set during the UN's landmark climate change conference in Kyoto in 1997 incredibly timely right now, of course, finally, for something completely different which I can wholeheartedly endorse. One Man Musical is returning once again to London for a slightly more extended run this time. So this was one of my favorite shows at last year's Edinburgh Festival, Fring and it's basically a parody of the life of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. It's basically his bio musical, but as told by musical comedians Flo and Joan. Chances are if you enjoy my channel and my commentary on all things Angela Dwebber here, you will probably have a lot of fun at this as well. I think if he went to see it, he'd have a lot of fun. I still don't know officially if he is aware of this. The show is currently scheduled to play at the Underbelly Boulevard from the 16th of January through the beginning of March. Now let's look ahead into February where most of the excitement is coming from plays, including the next production at the Bridge Theater. Sadly, the immersive revival of Guys and Dolls has now closed, but it makes way for another Shakespeare. And they have a good reputation with Shakespeare, which is why I am very excited about Richard II starring Jonathan Bailey. And why would I not be? I've only ever seen Richard II before once I saw David Tennant doing it, which are big, big Shakespearean boots to fill as it were. But the bridges reputation with Shakespeare it is. I've seen Jonathan Bailey doing Shakespeare before. I saw him doing Othello at the National Theatre. I'm very excited about this. I think this has an awful lot of promise. Now speaking of Shakespeare, over at the RSC they have recently been announcing their first few pieces of programming with new artistic directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey and he is going to be appearing on stage in one of them. This is the most exciting part of their newly announced seasons for me, which is a production of Edward ii. This is not Shakespeare, this is Christopher Marlowe. And it contends that Edward II II insisted on ruling with his male lover by his side. Edward II will be played by artistic director Daniel Evans, who I have loved on stage before, mostly in the realm of musical theatre. I am very excited about this one. You can catch it at the Swan Theatre in Stratford upon Avon between 21 February and 5 April. And those aren't even the oldest plays I am going to be talking to you about because Elektra is being brought to the stage in a new production which is starring Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero star Brie Larson at the Duke of York's Theatre. This is Sophocles in a new translation by Anne Carson, directed by Daniel Fish, who brought to us the bold new interpretation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma, the one that has been dubbed Sexy Oklahoma. I dare say those same principles applied to Greek tragedy rather than classic Golden Age musical theater may be more palatable to many theater goers. I am very intrigued about this one. Heading over to the Barbican for one of the most prestigious openings of the spring. Anton Chekhov's the Seagull, starring screen legend Cate Blanchett in a role I think she will be pretty fantastic in. This is conceived and directed by Thomas Ostermaier. That is a big name in a new translation by him and Duncan McMillan. That is the name that sold me on this production. Cate Blanchett is joined by an impressive supporting cast, including Emma Corrin. This is really going to be something to see, I think, heading into March now. And congratulations to you if you managed to get tickets to the West End return of A Streetcar Named Desire. The production, which came originally from the Almeida Theatre, subsequently transferred to the Phoenix Theatre and will now be playing once again at the Noel Coward Theatre. Directed by Rebecca Frecknell. Tennessee Williams classic starring Paul Mescal, Patsy Faran and Anjana Vasan. I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's a definitive production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Patsy Ferran does not give you the traditional expected Blanche dubois, but it is, like all of Rebecca Frecknell's work, creatively fascinating and offers a real perspective on the piece's brutality and power dynamics. There is another West End return commencing in the same, which needs little introduction. My neighbor Totoro. This huge stage success for the RSC and the Barbican, which has already played two really brilliant runs in London, will now be transferring into the West End proper at the Gillian Lynn Theater. I think it's a delight for theater goers of all ages. You can take whole families, you can take young children, but you can go as an adult and still find an awful lot to enjoy about it. It's so creatively satisfying. It's so beautiful. It's really affecting. It's just brilliant. If you love the film, it goes without saying this will be an incredibly special theatrical experience. But if you don't know the film, it's also just independently very strong. Now, one of my most anticipated new musical openings of the year is actually taking place not in London, but at the Theatre Royal in Bath. This is a show called Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It features an original score from Stephen Luttwak who composed the Tony Award winning musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder and it's directed by John Doy. That is the headline news here and a big part of why I think it's been able to attract a stellar cast including the return of Scarlet Strand to the British stage. That is exciting news. Next up, back to the West End for another play that I'm excited about because of the reputation of its playwright. This is the new work from Ryan Calais Cameron Retrograde which is transferring to the Apollo Theatre after a sold out run at the Kiln. And the premise is really fascinating to me as well because it follows the story of a young Sidney Poitier, of course, the iconic actor Sidney Poitier as he is considering whether not to sign a career defining Hollywood contract a decade before he would go on to become the first black man to win an Oscar. Ryan Kelly Cameron's celebrated work for black boys who have considered Suicide when the Hue Gets Too Heavy ran for multiple seasons in the West End. I saw it, I loved it. It was brilliant. I think he's a hugely exciting voice. Now here is another one that has earned my cautious optimism. It's running between 5 March and 5 April at the Soho Theater. It is transferring from the Edinburgh fringe. It got five star reviews. It is called Weather Girl and it's sold out its run there. It's written by Brian Watkins. It stars Julia McDermott as a Californian weather girl who is literally, as the play progresses, escaping a Californian wildfire. Obviously it is incredibly timely right now, painfully timely right now. Now running at the same time from 6 March to 5 April, up in Edinburgh is a stage adaptation of Wild Rose. The film starred Jessie Buckley. I still have not seen it, but it follows the story of an aspiring country singer who longs to make it from Glasgow to Nashville. The details about this that excite me is starring Dawn Seyvright. I think she is a fantastic talent. I think she is such an exciting performer. She's going to be great in this and it sounds like it's a really meaty role for her as well. It is jointly being adapted by the film's writer as well as John Tiffany who has a stellar stage reputation. And it's going to be utilizing music from country legends like Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood and Wynonna Judd and many more, as well as the film's award winning song, GL Glasgow Carrying On One of the biggest announcements this year for London theatre was that Stephen Sondheim's final musical, written by him with David Ives, Here We Are will be receiving its UK and European premiere at the National Theater from April with a star studded cast. I've already made an entire video talking about this lineup and how exciting it is. And Here We Are is considerably different to many of his shows. It is an abstract, I would call it an abstract David. I've's play with some Sondheim music and returning to it with that awareness, I am hoping to feel a little differently about it. I'm hoping to meet it on its own terms rather than, you know, having this expectation that it's something entirely different. I would caution you to be aware of that going in. I think you're more likely to be able to enjoy it if you know that in advance. Another New York to London musical transfer that again I'm cautiously optimistic about is the Great Gatsby, which will be opening at the London Coliseum. It originally starred Jeremy Jordan and even Blizzarda on Broadway and I am very intrigued. We should be hearing casting pretty soon about this one. I'm intrigued about who they could get to try and match that kind of star power that can also deliver this audacious material, these big, big songs and fill the London Coliseum. That's a big ask. It's very crowd pleasing. It's got big songs, it's got big emotions. They drive a car on stage, it's got great dance numbers, there's fireworks. Is it the most thorough and detailed adaptation of the Great Gatsby that there is? Not necessarily, but it's a very satisfying, easy watch. There are several more on this list for April I know very little about. One of them is Manhunt at the Royal Court. This actually begins performances right at the end of March on the 28th of March and continues through the 3rd of May. And it is interesting to me because it is written and directed by Robert Icke. It documents True events from 2010 when Raoul Moat was released from prison. This is a Royal Court commission produced by Sonja Friedman. All of these very exciting details. This already smells like a West End transfer waiting to happen, but truly it's just the fact that this is Robert Ike's work that has me intrigued by it. Here's another one for you. Only a very brief run. 29 April through 10 May, Tambo and Bones will be returning to the Theatre Royal Stratford East. I didn't see it back in 2023. It was hugely talked about. Many of my friends who are reviewers had great things to say about this production, so I'm hoping to be able to catch it for myself. This around. It spans 500 years of history and it talks about race through the pretense of a minstrel show. I am hugely intrigued. April 2025 is also when Mischief Theaters, the comedy about spies, will be taking over the Null Coward Theater in the West End. And it's been a while since we have had a full new Mischief Theater Stage production in London, the last one having been Magic Goes Wrong, which was staged just before and after the pandemic. It features the return of many of the original Mischief members. They showcased a scene from this on the Royal Variety Performance recently. You can probably look that up here on the Internet. I am hugely excited about this. I think a lot of people are going to be very excited about this. They've become a really big part of the British theatre scene and that's really lovely to see. We are looking to regional productions, the first of which is in Leicester at the curve, running between 10 April and 10 May. Muriel's wedding is finally coming to the UK. This is an Australian musical based on the film of the same name. And when I tell you I have been obsessed with what little of this music, I have been able to hear you say, how's the weather? I say, never been better. I think it's so charming. I am so ready to fall in love with this show. I am very excited to see it. I think this is going to be quirky and kooky and fun. If you know the film, you know a little bit of what to expect. A little further north of that production, A Knight's Tale will be opening in Manchester. The musical adaptation of A Knight's Tale. I don't know how many of you are aware of this film, British film, but I loved this film. My family loved this film. I've already made a video on here talking about this news when it got announced how exciting this was. It's going to be Jukebox. I think it may bear something of a similarity to and Juliet and the way it utilizes its music potentially. I am intrigued about how they're going to bring medieval jousting to the stage. I'm intrigued about what casting is going to look like. There are still many question marks around this production for me, but it's A Knight's Tale on stage. I have to be excited at almost exactly the same time. The musical adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Coraline will be receiving its UK premiere at Leeds Playhouse before going on to Tour two other Midlands and northern venues including Birmingham, including Manchester and the aforementioned Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh. Truthfully, I do not know Coraline whatsoever. I have not seen the film. I know hold your shock, but everyone around me was so excited when this got announced that I was like, okay, this must be something to be excited about then. In May, a recent new musical returns to the West End Just for One Day, which premiered at the Old Vic that is going to be transferring to the Shaftesbury Theatre with casting for the West End production to be confirmed. But it tells the story of the famous Live Aid concert using, as of course it would, the music that you would associate with Live Aid and all of those incredible artists who participated. If Live Aid is nostalgic for you, as it is for like my parents generation, then I dare say you're probably going to really enjoy this. Now, speaking of classic music, my favourite Broadway play of the last year, one of my favourite Broadway plays of all time, Stereophonic by David Ajmee, is transferring to the West End. This has just been announced. I made an entire video talking about it very recently on YouTube and it's going to be playing at the Duke of York's theatre from May 2025, with three of the original Broadway company members returning to reprise their roles. I am so excited about Stereophonic. It is a play that you' utilizes music, original music, which has been composed by Will Butler of Arcade Fire. Because it's about this Fleetwood Mac esque British American fusion group. The play is so, so brilliant. I think it's a masterpiece. I cannot wait to see it again and in London. I'm thrilled. Then from something I have complete and utter faith in to something I am just so. I mean, I don't know what to think. I do not know what to think because the Frog Frogs is coming to Southwark Playhouse. Stephen Sondheim's the Frogs, not admittedly one of his more popular musicals. It's not your Sweeney Todd's, it's not your Follies, it's not your little night Musics. It's not even really A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. This is one of the least produced Sondheim musicals brought to you by the same people who brought anyone can whistle to the same venue. That's not even the craziest detail about this because one of the cast members who has been announced whilst with the announcement of the production is Kevin McHale, who you may know from television's Glee. I'm fascinated by this. I hope against hope that it's queer and campy and creative and bizarre and brilliant. I liked a lot of the energy that went into Anyone Can Whistle. I liked a lot of the people in it. But inherently there was just so much in the text that I found ultimately too challenging for the whole thing to be satisfying. I am cautiously optimistic because I can't hate three Sondheims in a row. It'll kill me. I really need. I need good songs. One time, please. Now, this one is very hot off the presses. This has just been announced. A new production of Mrs. Warren's profession from George Bernard Shaw will be opening at the Garrick Theater in May 2025. Directed by Dominic Cook, who recently brought us the revival of hello Dolly and featuring that production's leading lady, Imelda Staunton, alongside her real life daughter, Bessie Carter, they will be performing together for the first time. That alone is worth buying a ticket. I mean, truly, anything that Imelda Staunton does, Dame Imelda Staunton does. She has the theatrical capital now where she really only does the work that she believes in. And her and Dominic Cook seem to bring together these brilliant performances. I think anything Imelda does on stage at this point, you ought to be buying tickets then. In June, we're heading back to the National Theatre for a brief return of the musical London Road, this as part of the end of Rufus Norris tenure as the venue's artistic director, and this having been one of his biggest successes at the venue. I saw this when it was at the Olivier. What It Is is a verbatim musical which musicalizes recordings of interviews with residents of a street where there was something of a national event because of a string of murdered prostitutes. It's fascinating to listen to. It's a really gripping watch. I'm excited for it to come back to the National Theatre. If you're one of those people who has been missing this repeatedly, it took me a while to catch it. Make sure you don't miss it again. Go and check it out at the National Theater. Then, one of the year's biggest, most commercial musical openings, Disney's Hercules, will be coming to Theatre Royal Drury Lane. I'm already seeing the marketing everywhere, which is a great sign for Disney, and I am cautiously optimistic. And I will tell you why. Because I saw Hercules on stage for the very first time at Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey back in 2023, and I believe it made my worst shows of the year list. Last year, I saw a new production in Hamburg that bore many similarities, but also went in some very new directions with a new director at the helm in Casey Nicolor and that neither made my best nor worst of the year roundups. I am hoping that with the London production it can continue to grow and develop further, get even better and I can really throw my weight behind this production. I believe in Disney. I think Hercules has all of the ingredients to be a great stage musical. The material is there, there. Another one I don't necessarily know what to think about is Evita. This is surely going to be one of the most talked about productions of the year. It's a Jamie Lloyd revival of an Angela Webber musical with a strong female lead with the, you know, they're chasing this star casting. It is rumored to be Ariana Debose. I don't know if she is yet fully contractually confirmed. Obviously I loved Sunset Boulevard and I thought that worked, but I thought it worked for reasons very specific to that show's setting and and material. Evita I enjoyed at Regent's park, but not with as much euphoria. So I am intrigued, I am curious, I am hoping it's successful. We're going to find out together and you know, I'll be talking about it plenty here on YouTube. Now that covers the first half of the year. As you would expect, more has been announced for those six months. As we look towards the back half of the year from July onwards, there are many shows that will be very exciting that we don't know about yet. For now. Now, these are the ones I am watching in July. It is Sing street at the Lyric Hammersmith. I don't know much about this, but my friends from America are very excited about it. This was set to go to Broadway. There was a film, I believe. I think this is a stage adaptation of the film. Its Broadway run, like many, was preempted by the pandemic. It never ended up happening. So instead it is coming to the uk. I think it's going to be a new production, that is to say, new creators, natives and certainly new casting, but the same producers. But the enthusiasm that everyone else has for Sing street when this was announced has made me excited for it. So I will. I will definitely be catching the Sing street and Lyric Hammersmith do great work that too often flies under the radar. Make sure you're checking out Lyric Hammersmith when you're checking out brilliant London theatre in August. An exciting non replica first as the musical Be More Chill still has its first new production in the uk. This has just today been announced for the old joint stock. I have something of a History with Be More Chill. It played a big part in my kind of early years on YouTube because I was a social media ambassador for the show when it was at the other Palace. It then came back mid Pandemic at the Shaftesbury Theatre. And it's very much tailored for a younger audience, but I think there's a lot of brilliant satirical, sarcastic material in that show and songs like Michael in the Bathroom are exceptional. And I like to see shows like this reconceived in innovative, creative ways, especially somewhere like the old Joint Stock, which, if you don't know, is this very intimate, like above a pub theatre space. It's very small. It's going to necessitate a completely different approach to the production than one it's ever had before, and that's exciting. Finally, then, in September and November, director Andy Fickman is hard at work work bringing two other teen musicals to the stage. One of them is 13 going on 30, which I actually saw as a workshop starring Lucy Jones and Jamie Moscato and Grace Moat. I have a lot of nostalgia for the film. There were elements of the adaptation of the screenplay that I wanted to be more theatricalized. Some of the songs are still in my head. 13, 13, 13 going on 30, 30, 30. And it's another one like the Devil Wears Prada, where if you love the film, you're going to be very excited to see it on stage and you're probably going to enjoy it on stage. I am cautiously optimistic that it's a fun and enjoyable production. I think Andy Fickman probably is the perfect person to be helming this, just like he did for that workshop. Then in November, Freaky Friday coming to the uk. Now, this has had an interesting history because it was produced regionally in the US at a handful of different theaters. It was then filmed for the Disney Channel as a musical. Of course, it's based on on the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis film where the mother and daughter swap bodies and live in each other's worlds, which is such a brilliant premise. It's a great film, but again, Andy Figman and Paul Taylor Mills, probably the right people to be bringing this to the stage after the success they've had with Heather's, which I dare say is what has earned them this opportunity. I am intrigued to see it now. Two shows I would like you to keep an eye out for that. I would have loved to include in this, but officially they have not yet been announced. One of them is shucked now, director Jack O'Brien revealed in an interview last year that Shucked was going to be coming to London, as was previously announced, but at an unexpected venue because he said they were going to be doing it as part of this year's season at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, one of my favourite theatres in the world and I see the vision for this. I think Shucked would really work well there. I have also heard they have now finished casting. I'm excited to hear who it is. I'm excited to see Shucked again on stage and even outdoors rather than indoors. I feel I can still give this my Mickey Jo Theatre seal of approval. There is also another piece of national theatre programming that has not officially been given dates that is inter alia brought to the stage by many of the brilliant creatives who brought Prima Facie and it seems to share a lot of similarities. It's going to star Rosamund Pike. I think of all the shows that national announced in their most recent season. Announcement, announcement. This is the one that's going to be the biggest. Make sure you keep your ears to the ground for that one. I know I will be. And for those of you who are theatre going regionally and don't get to visit London as often as you would like, do not worry. There are many exciting tours going around this year that I would also love to feature, including Mary Poppins which is on tour around the uk. I love Mary Poppins, possibly my favorite Disney stage musical. I think it's just enchanting. I cannot wait to go and see it. Hamilton is fantastic on tour. The way way that they deliver the full production just as as fully as it is in the West End I think is miraculous. And the newly announced tour cast, with Billy Nevis taking over as Aaron Burr, I'm so excited about him and many of the other names joining, I think very exciting. There is also a new tour of Matilda starting later this year. We don't talk about Matilda much because it's just continuing to run successfully in the West End, but one of my favorite West End shows. I think Matilda is so smart, it is so brilliant. So if you've never seen Matilda before, take young people, go without young people. It stands up, it can be enjoyed by young audiences, but it's also really smart and sophisticated. You can enjoy it as an adult theater goer. Go and see Matilda at a theater near you. There is also Aunt Juliet which is a fun and camp and just a gorgeous like school disco of a musical. I haven't seen this on tour yet, but I've heard great things about it from my fiance Aaron, who caught it at the Wolverhampton Grand. Then there is Calamity Jane and a production I have seen on stage before but with entirely new casting because Carrie Hope Fletcher is going to be taking over the titular role in a new tour which is beginning this month I believe at the Warside Theatre in Aylesbury, then heading to Manchester and then around the uk. It's an actor musician production. If you like Calamity Jane you will like this show. It's a little more old fashioned on the musical side side, but it's fun and it's lively and I like the way that it's staged and I think Carrie will do a great job as Calamity Jane. And then finally Kinky Boots is once again touring now. Kinky Boots is such a winning show with British audiences. We love this kind of a story. The material is really fun and household name Johannes Radabe from Strictly Come Dancing who is now this celebrated beloved performer is going to be playing Lola which is great cast if he can sing it. This is the thing. Kind of juries out on this one still as far as I'm aware, unless someone else knows differently, I'll be very intrigued for when this tour starts and getting to go and see it and finding out how well Johannes fits into every aspect of this role. He is joined by Dan Partridge but also more brilliant names. Oh my gosh. Courtney Bowman is going to be fantastic in this. Scott Page is in this as well. It's an exciting comedy past. I am intrigued to see another new take on Kinky Boots. We've seen a few recently and those I think before I entirely lose my voice. This has taken a very long time to film. Are all of my British theater recommendations in 2025? Like I said as I finish recording this there is bound to be something else brilliant that is newly announced. Feel free to comment down below with any that I have not said as well as commenting with your thoughts about the ones which I have. Let me know which ones you already have tickets to and maybe the show that you are most looking forward to this year. Thank you for listening. I hope that that has been helpful and I look forward to bringing you my thoughts about all of these shows and more in 2025. Make sure you're following me or subscribed with notifications turned on so you don't miss my review coverage throughout the year of all of these shows in the UK and beyond. I hope that everyone is staying safe and that you have a stagey day for 10 more seconds. I'm Mickey Jo theater. Oh, my God. Hey, thanks for watching. Have a stagey day. Subscribe.
