This is a list of musicals, plays, concerts and more that I’ve seen, with links to relevant blog posts. I attended these shows in person, except where noted otherwise. See my Stand-Up Comedy page for a list of comedians I’ve seen live.
Most of these shows were seen with AD (Audio Description), often including a touch tour as well. As a visually impaired person, this enables me to be fully immersed in the experience without missing anything, and has therefore encouraged me to attend shows I would never have gone to otherwise. The shows were described by VocalEyes or the venue’s own staff, or the AD was integrated into the production by the cast themselves. You can find out about upcoming AD shows on the VocalEyes and Official London Theatre access pages, while many venues and productions also have access pages on their own websites.
