Weekly Vlog #458 | High School Musical Press Launch, The Gruffalo & Toy Story 5 Family Day Out

Come along with us for Weekly Vlog #458, where we share everything we got up to during the week of 29th June – 5th July 2026. This week's vlog begins at the official High School Musical press launch at The Lowry, where Lawrence and I got an exclusive first look at the upcoming UK production, including cast interviews, live performances, costume and set reveals, and a chance to hear from the creative team behind the show. We also enjoyed a shopping trip into Manchester, including lunch at Pesto, a visit to The Entertainer, Primark and Krispy Kreme, where we found some great Super Mario and Disney bargains. On Friday, I took Alice and Leo to The Gruffalo at The Lowry for a fantastic family theatre trip. We finish the week with a family cinema trip to see Toy Story 5, followed by a meal in Manchester before heading home. 📖 Read Our Family Weekly Update If you'd like to read more about our week in detail, including the High School Musical press launch, our Trafford Centre shopping trip, The Gruffalo at The Lowry and our family trip to see Toy Story 5, you can read this week's Family Weekly Update on my blog: 👉 https://www.sarahmonaghan.com/post/fa... 📖 Read more: 🎭 High School Musical Press Launch https://www.allabouttheatreuk.com/pos... 🐭 The Gruffalo Review https://www.allabouttheatreuk.com/pos...
