Meet Shibby – a reviewer in Scotland
Favourite show? The best show I have ever seen is Jersey Boys the range the gents all have is phenomenal. My all time favourite is Annie which I have seen live over 10 times.
Favourite theatre? I love traditional theatres but seeing Wicked in Victoria Theatre was the most amazing experience. As soon as you walk into the foyer you are immediately stepping into the land of Oz and it transports you ready for the performance.
What role you would like to play? Miss Hannigan in Annie has always been my dream role.
How I Began Reviewing? A Lady that used to work with my mum reviewed for FPP. I got asked to help out when she suggested me, as she had 2 shows scheduled on 1 night. I have LOVED reviewing for over a year since then and cannot wait for this current situation to be over to get back to the theatres.
About Me? I’m an ex officer in the Merchant Navy and switched shore side a year after my other half came out of the Army. I still work in shipping but based in my home city of Glasgow now. In the last 18 months I have gotten engaged, got married in secret and surprised our engagement party that it was actually a wedding reception. We also moved house and we are expecting our first child in the summer – a boy. I love all things Disney and I love anything live; sports, concerts and theatre shows to name but a few. I am a huge Newcastle United fan and try to get down to see them at least once a year.
