Thespie is a spectacular home to access theatre, becoming the most trusted way to bring magic into your homes. It’s a vital tool to support theatre as it recovers from the global crisis, allowing many artists to bring some of their impeccable talent to audiences in an affordable way.

One of the shows to surface was Together Again. You're probably no stranger to the stellar talent of this trio, who met on the show Heathers back in 2018. Sophie Isaacs, Jodie Steele and T’Shan Williams exhibit their incredible talent in this 50-minute show; bringing their humble friendship and killer vocals. The concert is jam packed with ten songs, introductions and insightful conversation, bringing individuality and an insight into their musical careers. Together Again perfectly encapsulates friendship and sisterhood with an electric mix of pop and musical theatre. If you want to feel empowered in a short space of time, Together Again really showcases this. 

There is something about having these three incredible women in your living room that is so comforting in the challenging times. Although there isn’t a lot of space for full blown choreographic numbers here, it’s relaxed and welcoming. It has an appealing factor for musical fans, although some popular pop songs are included too.

Together Again provides us with two solos from each of the West End stars, as well as beautifully arranged group songs. T’Shan Williams has a smooth and sublime voice that gives you goosebumps, especially in her emotive rendition of ‘I Hate the Bus’ from Caroline, Or Change; a song I will definitely be listening to more of in the future! Sophie Issacs manifests a superb rendition of ‘I See Stars’ from Mean Girls - you can see why Steele and Williams call her their pocket rocket, she’s fierce! Jodie Steele’s show-stopping performance is definitely her rendition of ‘When I Look At You’ from a lesser-known musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel. This song allows Steele to demonstrate the depths of her vocal ability and she really draws you in with this performance. 

Of course, Together Again needed to close with their rendition of ‘Candy Store’. This song was made for their blend of personality and gorgeous vocals. It comes effortlessly to this trio and is a fantastic nod to the musical which seeded their friendship, as well as perfect for those loyal Heathers fans to enjoy too! It was the ideal way to end their concert. 

Together Again is a comforting hug for all to enjoy! It is a fantastic intimate show that is available to watch live in over 100 countries and is available to purchase in various currencies.
