What really happens behind the scenes on opening night? ✨👠
Come with me into a world where theatre is ritual, fashion is armour, and gifts tell the story of friendships that stretch across decades. This vlog is not just an opening night diary—it’s a love letter to tradition, glamour, and backstage chaos.
From my endless second-hand treasures, I reveal a Sonia Rykiel brooch from SELLPY, blazing with rhinestones like a chandelier over Paris. The true ritual, though, is gifting: for years I’ve given David, our legendary makeup artist and wig designer, framed vintage ads. This year is the last—David is ecstatic, and my heart aches. His retirement gift to me? Three outrageous socks and a rhinestone-encrusted mug brought back from his American adventure. Outrage, brilliance, delight!
The day is a swirl: sewing a wheelchair pocket, gluing soles, mending costumes, climbing into the attic for shoes. Even my socks betray me—Primark from Oxford, hole and all—only to be replaced by my new PHILADELPHIA CHEESE socks, a comedy of errors in hosiery.
There is beauty in detail: Lovisa, our production assistant, names buckets for opening night flowers, turning even backstage containers into curated moments. Magnus meets me outside with rare tea, Ulf surprises me with a vase shaped like a red fish, and Camilla Thulin, visionary costume designer, gifts me divine champagne.
When the curtain falls, the transformation is complete. I become pure spectacle: H&M rhinestone boots glitter, COS leather-look jeans shine, sheer Mugler whispers rebellion, black sequined jacket glimmers, and Sonia Rykiel anchors it all with rhinestone authority.
This isn’t just about theatre—it’s about how we mark time, celebrate each other, and build a history out of costumes, socks, mugs, and rhinestones. It’s about laughter, tenderness, and a little madness too.
💌 Stay, watch, and share the magic. If you’ve ever wondered what theatre truly feels like, behind the curtain and beyond the glitter, this is your invitation.
