Culture Calendar Don’t Book It Because I Loved It Theatre Guide – Volume Three

Don’t Book It Because I Loved It Digital Theatre Guide

Culture Calendar’s 32-page Don’t Book It Because I Loved It! Theatre Guide was created with the GEN X community in mind, and based on years of experiencing theatre and live entertainment, listening to audiences and understanding how differently people can respond to the same show.

Is the show right for you — or just highly recommended?

You’ve seen the reviews. You’ve heard everyone talking about it. Perhaps it’s based on a film you loved, features music you grew up with, or brings back memories of a time you remember fondly.

But does that mean you’ll love the theatre show?

When tickets, travel and your time all cost money, choosing the wrong show can leave you wondering why you booked it in the first place.

What are you really looking for in a theatre show?

Will the story appeal to me?
Will the music resonate with me?  
Is the nostalgia enough to make a good theatre experience?
Is this show worth the ticket price and the journey?
Has my theatre choice changed over the years? 
How do I choose between shows when everyone seems to recommend them?

The answers are inside the guide.

Culture Calendar’s Theatre Guide was created from years of experiencing theatre and live entertainment, listening to audiences and understanding how differently people can respond to the same show.

It doesn’t tell you which shows you should love.  Instead, it helps you think about why a show might — or might not — be right for you, taking into account the things that make entertainment personal: memories, music, story, nostalgia, expectations and the experience itself.

Because a five-star review doesn’t know what you love.  And someone else’s favourite show isn’t automatically yours.

This isn’t a press release telling you what you might want to hear. 

It comes from years of experiencing theatre and live entertainment from an audience-led perspective – seeing shows, listening to audiences, and understanding that what works for one person may not work for another, and why.

So, before you press “Book Now”…

Don’t Book It Because I Loved It Theatre Guide gives you the questions to consider before spending your money, time and energy on a theatre experience.

Whether you’re drawn to a familiar film, a favourite soundtrack, a classic musical or something completely new, the aim is simple:

Don’t book it because I loved it.   Book it because you think you’ll love it.
