VLOG: the MusicalCon 2023 day 1 vlog

The positive vibes from your videos are amazing! After the day I had I really need it :) If I may add from my xp; to anyone who's ever been a victim of bullying / hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)

It was so great to see you briefly at musical con, we didn’t get a chance to chat as I had my own stand (printicole) but hopefully we can next year?! So lovely to see the bits I never managed to see haha xx

Would love to go to musical con one year! Loving the choc Olivier award! 😅that singing quiz they did looks like so much fun! Would like to try!

[@XheyJJx]

We went last year and this year and were pleased to see they had implemented changes based on feedback from last year. We loved that they had a cinema area. A nice place to take a break away from the mayhem. We ate our lunch whilst watching hairspray!

I had a very stagey weekend last weekend, Went to 3 Musicals ( Jesus Christ Superstar , Sunset Boulevard and BTTF the Musical, Went to both days of Musical Con and then went to the Musical Theatre Rave on Sunday Night. Highlights of Musical Con are Meeting You all, doing Jodie Steele’s Workshop and then Meeting/ Getting a photo with her at Stage Door Experience ( I would like to add that she is one of the Kindest and Sweetest people i have ever met). The Heathers Farewell was also a highlight especially since the first time I heard Erin sing I say No was at Musical Con last year, I cosplayed as JD on Saturday and Jack Kelly on Sunday)

Omg Mickey i’m so jealous! Hope you had so much fun 🎶

[@meleblen1781]

Thank you!!! This is incredible

I went to this last year in 2022 and I absolutely enjoyed it. It was by far the BEST event I've been to. I enjoyed the whole thing. On the last day, I was gutted that I didn't meet Tom Francis there but eventually, I did in the end on the DLR station waiting for a train to go home and that was the best last day ever. He was really lovely and sweet. I hope Musical Con returns next year but I'm hoping it will land on my dad's birthday instead of my mum's. It felt like my second home.

Any advice for someone who wants to attend MusicalCon who is wheelchair bound? Or someone who might have experience with that?

[@musicalconwestend]

Hi Sarah. Musical Con itself and the ExCeL London more generally are both 100% accessible for wheelchair users. There is also a level access viewing platform for the MainStage. We hope to see you in 2024!

[@saraheden-bird3879]

@@musicalconwestend does that require prebooking?

What was the artist Instagram? He spoke so fast I couldn’t get it the gentleman who was a Dancer with the derby hat 😂

Thanks from the NJ USA love your video’s!!

[@emhu2594]

Sophie evans over the rainbow blew me away. Miss saigon was also great, i was not familiar with that at all. Was not impressed with so much focus on instagram photo ops and buying expensive knickknacks
