The Jonathan Larson Project – Southwark Playhouse
The Jonathan Larson project offers a rarely seen glimpse into the late composers lesser known work in a slick, intimate staging at Southwark Playhouse Borough. Immediately we felt in familiar territory – a piano centre stage, exposed brickwork, a projection screen, and musically, from the get go this was also the case. Southwark Playhouse is […]
Heathers – The Arts at Marble Arch
Hold onto your scrunchies but Heathers is back in London and this time it is at a new venue, the Arts at Marble Arch. I’ve followed Heathers’ UK journey since its workshop at the Other Palace in 2017 and seen it move to the main stage there, in the West End and on tour so […]
Shanay Holmes at Cadogan Hall
Shanay Holmes is a musical theatre actress whose name recognition has been growing, from playing Nancy in Oliver! and Cindy Breakspeare in Get Up Stand Up, both in the West End, through to her work as a producer including co-founding West End Musical Productions. Despite her increasing name recognition, this concert is Holmes’ first solo […]
Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium
If you are wondering what all the buzz in Theatreland is about right now, look no further than Jesus Christ Superstar. Fir the third consecutive summer, an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical has returned to the West End, with this acclaimed Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre production now taking centre stage. Originally conceived as a 1970 […]
Operation Mincemeat 2026 Cast
I’ve followed Operation Mincemeat since its Riverside Studio run, prior to its move to the West End and every revisit has only strengthened my admiration for it. For those who are yet to see the show it is based on a real-life operation that took place in 1943 in which they needed to convince Hitler […]
Catch Me If You Can By Geoids
Despite a Broadway run in 2011, Catch Me If You Can has never received a West End production or UK tour. Having only recently become available to amateur companies, I was excited to see Geoids bring this rarely performed musical to a London stage. The show follows a con man, Frank Abagnale and his time […]
Redcliffe at Southwark Playhouse (Borough)
Southwark Playhouse is know for being a hotbed for developing new British musical theatre and their current production of Redcliffe looks set to continue this trajectory. The new musical by Jordan Luke Gage is set in the town of Redcliffe, Bristol in 1752/1753 during a time where homosexuality was punishable by death and is based […]
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice is a show which many musical theatre fans have been begging for a West End transfer for since it opened in 2019 on Broadway and this week they finally got their wish. Based on the 1988 film of the same name the show tells of Lydia Deetz who has just lost her mother and […]
Annie at New Wimbledon Theatre
NYC has arrived in Wimbledon this week with Annie taking centre stage. Few musicals have embedded themselves into popular culture quite like Annie with songs and catchphrases instantly recognisable even to those who rarely step inside a theatre. Judging from the audience last night the show remains as popular now as it was when it […]
Company by Sedos
This week I was invited to Bobby’s 35th Birthday party by Sedos, otherwise known as their production of Company. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim it is therefore a musical that are on most musical lovers must see list! The show follows Bobby who is surrounded by a tight knit group of married friends.
