Well now the dust (or glitter) has settled a small reflection on my last directorial outing- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. The shows reception was unexpected but the wonderful message of acceptance shone though! It’s a special show and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to be part of it!

Supersonic Man is a new British Musical at Southwa

Supersonic Man is a new British Musical at Southwark Playhouse

It’s a book that shows lots of promise, with interesting characters that tackles a challenging topic and one that deserves to be highlighted in theatre, yet it is also a show that needs to work on its music if it is determined to remain a musical.

Stiletto at @charingcrossthr is a show that tries to deal with numerous huge themes resulting in a show that fails to deal with any of them in any depth. Full ⭐️⭐️ review on my website.

I headed to @sedoslondon production of Violet at @bridewelltheatre .

This was a wonderful chance to see a relatively unknown musical in an intimate venue which is perfect for this show and yet another shining example of how wonderful amateur theatre can be when done right!!!

@hadestownuk is a show with a mythical combination, a mesmerising book, soaring melodies, a huge amount of creative flair and a cast that you will not want to miss. Wait for nobody to get yourself to the Lyric Theatre.

Full review of new cast on my website!
