Evie and Alfie: A Very British Love Story

My heart did not know what it was walking into when I sat down for the opening night of Evie and Alfie.

As a long-time fan of both Jimmy Hogg and Alex Dallas, I was prepared to laugh and experience their comedic genius, but what I wasn't expecting was the deep emotional impact of the story and the performances.

Watching Evie and Alfie play out their lives together, from first meeting to first date and all the other firsts in-between that happen when you're growing old together, the duo makes it easy to fall in love with the characters. And as you learn more about them, slip-ups, misdeeds and all, you love them both more for it.

The real winner though is the subtle nuances of both Hogg and Dallas's performances, which add another layer of genuine emotional connection and depth to an already stellar show.

I cannot recommend this show enough. It should be added to your "must-see" list!💛
