ALT A collage of photos representing @URNShowtime. Images include the purple Showtime logo, photos of Ella (with dark hair and glasses) at the Student Radio Awards, and Ella and PR Abi (with curly brown hair) in front of the URN logo and seeing Moulin Rouge.
The biggest thanks to *you* for listening from the very beginning. @ShowtimeURN has always had the best audience, as this message from our 100th show proves 💜
"Thank you for the Showtime. There could never, ever be another show like this."
Let me take you back 8 years, to 2015:
Justin Beiber is asking us “What do you mean?”, Star Wars: The Force Awakens barrel rolled into cinemas, Måns Zelmerlöw has just won Eurovision…
So whether you are into Cats, Carousel, Chicago, or Come From Away, we hope you’ve found something new to listen to and love! 💜 Thank you so much for listening, tap dancing, and voting for your URNivision favs, the show wouldn’t have existed without you
And, most importantly, none of it would have happened without @EllaWyd96: her effort, her dedication, and her passion continue to be an inspiration, and so from all of us listeners, a massive THANK YOU! 💜 in the words of Lord of the Rings: The Musical, The Road Goes On…
"I hope you're happy in the end. I hope you're happy, my friend..."
The first song *ever* played on @ShowtimeURN and the penultimate song played on the last live show. Who doesn't love a bit of #DefyingGravity?
Look, there is a time to played the forgotten classics and new up-and-coming tracks but, much like the end of a wedding disco, sometimes you need to play the Big Hitters!
