Dave Bushe
Nominated for being a one-man reviewing machine.
Dave joined us in 2022, and inside just a few weeks we had already realised he was fairly the theatre addict. In truth he has confirmed to be a little bit of a one-man reviewing machine. In 2022 he squeezed in a fairly frankly loopy 70 opinions, and it’s already trying like that will likely be drawfed in 2023.
In addition to reviewing, Dave’s additionally been an excellent assist in engaged on our web site and a few interviews, which frees up extra time for us to edit all these rattling opinions.
Lily Middleton
Nominated for combating the nook of Musical Theatre.
As effectively as contributing a unbelievable 27 opinions this yr, Lily actually is certainly one of our musical specialists. For sure individuals who will stay anonymous inside ET (you already know who you’re), musical theatre is a swear phrase. But Lily stands her floor and places up with all of the abuse she receives everytime she will get just a little too enthusiastic about her subsequent musical outing and going out of her solution to stick up for them. She even braved the Excel Centre and hundreds of different musical followers to examine our Musical Con for us in October!
In addition to this, Lily is now our Head of Recruitment, taking over the enjoyable position of onboarding all our new recruits. So should you occur to need to apply to be a reviewer with us (you are able to do so right here), you’ll quickly be listening to from Lily.
Marianna Meloni
Nominated for making Edinburgh occur yr after yr.
Marianna brings some Italian aptitude to ET. Ok, she could not have been round in London to do any opinions this yr, however when it got here to Edinburgh, she was proper there once more. It was resulting from Marianna we began doing our Edinburgh protection just a few years again and he or she has returned yearly since. Spending three weeks there balancing work and enjoyable, someway discovering the time to evaluate 26 reveals. We might share some tales of the bizarre and wild emails she was sending us by the top of the month when the insanity began to creep in, however as a substitute we’ll simply say that with out her we wouldn’t have managed to get others as much as Edinburgh this yr, which result in us publishing an unbelievable 84 opinions, our greatest ever Fringe protection.
Mary Pollard
Nominated for her modifying prowess and for braving the more severe present of the yr.
First issues first. Without Mary’s increcible contribution this yr in modifying round 80% of all our 543 opinions (our greatest yr ever), we aren’t certain how we might have survived. Yet someway inbetween all her modifying duties, she additionally managed to evaluate 58 reveals, lots of which have been spent supporting Theatre for Young Audiences.
But past all that, Mary deserves her nomination merely for braving what was very clearly the more severe theatre expertise of the yr, The Queen of Ocean, all three and a half hours of it!
Mike Carter
Nominated for persistently making us smile together with his opinions.
Mike’s been with ET for some time now, and we’re so glad he stays. He persistently produces some fantastic and enjoyable opinions in addition to doing his finest to encourage us all to go alongside to The Space, the place he could or could not have a slight vested curiosity.
Nathan Blue
Nominated for companies to maintaining the thriller alive.
We name Nathan our man of thriller, as a result of nobody truly is aware of who he actually is. But what we do know is that he can write a superb evaluate, so the 13 he has contributed this yr have all been treats. We’re unsure anybody else might slip the phrase “comfort wank” right into a evaluate so casually.
Zoe Pfaller
Nominated for entering into the actual spirit of the Rocky Horror Show.
When we have been invited to evaluate The Rocky Horror Show, Zoe was overjoyed to be the fortunate one set to go. We jokingly instructed her she might solely go if she dressed up for the event, and wow, she didn’t fail us on that entrance, with the crew at New Wimbledon Theatre even sending us a photograph to show she had gone full Rocky Horror for the night! It was an effort that we actually felt confirmed her dedication to the trigger.
