Abigail Collins

After expelling herself from The Royal Ballet School, pint-sized comedy powerhouse Abigail Collins has become well known on the cabaret circuit for her mix of comedy, circus and ability to push the envelope well past its sticking point.

Whether dancing Swan Lake on traffic cones as her Russian diva Katinka, or hooping up a storm as Angel Rodriguez, Brooklyn's answer to Beyoncé, Abigail's work is skillful, sexy and very, very silly. The physique of an athlete and the mouth of Joan Rivers.

Dear friends,

Susie here. In my last post I told you all about Dracula's castle. Since then, I've been exploring a lovely town called Brasov, located in the heart of Romania. Its old German name is Kronstadt, which means crown city, a name reflected in the city's coat of arms.

The historic centre is surrounded by medieval fortifications to this day. There are some wonderful promenade areas, especially around the former city council building, which is currently the local history museum. Here's a picture of me and my friend  in right in front of it.

You can just about see me in this picture

Closeby you can see the Black Church, which some claim is the largest Gothic style church in Southeastern Europe. Guess how old it is.

You'll need a magnifying glass to see me in this one

The building dates from 1477 and acquired its current name after being blackened by smoke from the 1689 great fire. I even went inside and sneaked a peek at the impressive 4,000 pipe organ, which is played at weekly and Christmas concerts.

 

Finally, a close up!

As impressive as the Black church is, my favourite place in Brasov was the local theatre. It reminds me a little of home.

They have lots of plays on, even some Christmas ones, but guess what? They don't have a Christmas panto tradition here, instead people usually go to Christmas carol concerts during the winter holidays.

Stealing the spotlight

The weather was rather chilly, and just as I was leaving Brasov, it started snowing. That made me feel very Christmasy indeed.

So here I am, on my way to Bucharest, Romania's capital city. I'll be sure to send you some pictures when I get there. In the meantime, treat yourself to a mince pie, I know I sure miss them.

Your friend,

Susie

It's a jump to the left and then a step to the right

Here's the first in a series of blog posts from Susie, the Sleeping Beauty doll that we sent around the world last month. She's visiting our friends and fans across the globe to spread the word about our rock 'n' roll panto, which opens on December 13. You can book tickets here if you haven't already.

Dear friends,

Susie here. It was early on a foggy Friday morning when I set off from London and I was ever so excited. I'd never been on a plane before.

As I had got as far as London, I decided I still wasn't sleepy yet and I kept going. I wanted to visit an old friend of mine, the Count. You know, count Dracula.

Here I am with a portrait of Vlad Tepes, the historical character most often associated with Dracula
