I am a repeat offender when it comes to returning to Rocky Horror Show and have reviewed the show 5 times alone on this website for various tours and productions, even before starting this website I had travelled across the country to see this show and it is possibly the musical I have seen the most times!

After converting to the Jamie Lloyd hype train after Sunset Boulevard I was incredibly excited to see his most recent directorial outing, his reinvention of another Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Evita.

I have no shame in admitting it…I am a Starlight Express stan. Having given 5 stars to the production last year had to check out the new cast to see if they could keep my infatuation with the show going!

This story covers a multitude of themes from discovering your sexuality, spiritual beliefs, the significance of family and the overwhelm of grief.
