Six at the Vaudeville Theatre
I have reviewed Six numerous times from their start at the Edinburgh Fringe through to its West End transfer and I was lucky enough to invited back on Media night to check out their most recent cast. For those that haven’t seen Six, the show tells of the Six wives of Henry 8th. The wives […]
Phantom of The Opera at Her Majesties Theatre
It had been over 20 years since I last saw Phantom of The Opera (I know I don’t look that old!!) so I was thrilled to be invited along to see the current cast. Phantom of the Opera is the iconic musical that tells of the Opera Ghost who has been living under the Paris […]
Carrie The Musical by Sedos
When the mention of the novel or film by the name of Carrie the first thought is blood, not musical theatre so you may be surprised to learn that there is indeed musical based on the Stephen King novel. It tells the story of outcast Carrie who is bullied at school for being different, largely […]
Huge Stick of Musical Rock by Centre Stage
If you have been reading my blog a while you will know that I love a rock musical so when Centre Stage invited me to their compilation show with a rock concert vibe I was incredibly keen. Centre Stage’s Huge Stick of Musical rock takes 16 different rock musicals, 27 songs, a band of 6 […]

Evita, by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, tells the story of Eva Duarte, born illegitimately in a small town but determined to get out of there and make it to the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Once she makes it there she advances her career as an actress and meets Colonel Juan Peron and […]
Moulin Rouge at The Piccadilly Theatre
Moulin Rouge is possibly my favourite film of all time and since I heard about its release on Broadway I became low key obsessed with the cast recording. Fast forward a few years and when it was announced that it was finally coming to the West End I knew I had to go. Unfortunately Covid […]
American Idiot By Sedos
American Idiot is a musical which stems from the Greenday album of the same name, but it is far from a jukebox musical. The rock opera concept album set out to tell a story. We meet Johnny, Tunny and Will in a post 9/11 USA, all disillusioned with their future. Johnny and Tunny set off […]
Cats by Centre Stage
Cats can be a marmite show and the 2019 movie did little to help these polarised opinions. Cats, based on the book of poems by TS Eliot, and for those that love it say that it shows a group of cats who gather once a year at the jellicle ball to see who can cross […]
Cabaret at Playhouse Theatre
Cabaret seems to be the hot ticket in London this season so I took myself along during previews to see what the fuss is about. Cabaret is set in Berlin during the Nazi’s rise to power. We meet Ciffod Bradshaw (Omari Douglas) who has just arrived in Berlin with ambitions to be a writer. On […]
Les Miserables at Sondheim Theatre
Les Miserables is one of these shows that seems to have been around forever, and whilst I have a vague recollection of seeing it many moons ago I had been telling myself for many years that I needed to take a return trip to the barricades. The new cast and updated version gave me the […]
