Saadiqah
Reader by day, theatre nerd by night and a full-time music obsessive in between
Hey, I’m Saadiqah! Carpool karaoke Tony winner (unofficial, but passionately earned), music lover, and full-time book addict. Whether it’s page-turning plots, epic albums, or show-stopping theatre moments, I live for stories in every form. Having spent my whole life loving musical theatre and dance, writing about it is pure joy. Catch me crying over curtain calls, obsessing over new albums and pretending my life is a musical montage (spoiler: it is)!
My hobbies & interests
Hopelessly devoted to rom-coms (both on the page and screen), I’m always knee-deep in a feel-good story or bingeing my latest TV obsession, old or new. I like dabbling into temporary hobbies like painting and baking with Olympic-level enthusiasm (results may vary) and when I’m not doing that, I’m curating the perfect soundtrack to my every mood. Yes, my playlists are emotionally labeled and yes, they’re that specific, think "rainy day main character" vibes.
My favourite ever stage show
The Lion King? A theatrical masterpiece. The artistry, the music, the costumes, truly out of this world. And don’t even get me started on Hamilton… I’ve basically memorised every lyric (thanks to rewatching it on Disney+ around 50 times). Call me obsessed and you’d be absolutely right!
My favourite ever concert
Certified Beyhive member, buzzing with pride! No one tops Queen B (vocals? flawless. visuals? iconic). Bonus shoutout to Coldplay for delivering a euphoric 10/10 experience, still recovering emotionally.
My watchlist
I have so many, especially with all these new ones coming out but at the top of my list currently is Moulin Rouge and MJ The Musical!
