With the 40th anniversary of Live Aid a few weeks ago it became clear just how much of a part of living memory the Live Aid concert was to many and Just For One Day realised this. The production premiered back in 2024 at The Old Vic and transferred to the West End, opening in May this year. The show

It is prom season….or at least it is if you are a Centre Stage audience member. Centre Stage have put together their version of the proms, The Proms Remixed, with a cast of 25 and arguably more importantly for a proms show an orchestra of 31.

The Great Gatsby has to be one of the most polarising shows out at the moment – from 1 star through to 5 star reviews so I couldn’t help myself but to see what I would make of it and where I would land. For those of you (like me) who haven’t read the book or even seen the film,
