Stiletto at Charing Cross Theatre
Lulled into thinking I was off to see a musical about shoes I headed to see new musical Stiletto at Charing Cross Theatre. The word stiletto actually originates from Italian and refers to a small dagger with a slender blade…much for fitting for the show. Stiletto is set in 18th Century Venice where boys are […]
Violet by Sedos
Violet is a musical that doesn’t come along often. I last saw this show in 2019 at the Charing Cross Theatre so I was excited to see a new take on it with Sedos. The musical tells of Violet, a disfigured girl who travels from Spruce Pine, North Carolina to Tulsa Oklahoma in order to […]
Hadestown 2025 Cast at the Lyric Theatre
Hadestown opened in London’s West End just over a year ago and since then we have not only seen the original West End cast but also the original Broadway cast appear for a limited run and, like the seasons, it is time for a change and the 2025 cast to take the stage. I made […]
Lee Mead in Concert
Lee Mead first appeared on my TV set 18 years ago, although it feels like only yesterday, with him going onto win ‘Any Dream Will Do’ and appear as Joseph on the West End. Fast forward to today and Lee has become one of the West Ends leading men so when I saw that he […]

Cruel Intentions at New Wimbledon Theatre
When the London run of Cruel Intentions finished I was disappointed that I wouldn’t have a chance to return but when the tour was announced I was thrilled that not only would I get my chance again but that others from across the country would as well. The musical is based on the 1999 film […]
Sweeney Todd by Cygnet Players
Sweeney Todd is, in my opinion, up there with Stephen Sondheim’s greatest work and mounting this production is no walk in the park for an amateur production. It tells of ‘The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,’ who has returned to London after being sent away by Judge Turpin. Todd returns to find that his child, […]
Here You Come Again at New Wimbledon Theatre

Here You Come Again tells of Kevin, a 40 year old who has moved back into his parents attic following a breakup. As […]
The Devil Wears Prada at The Dominion Theatre
The Devil Wears Prada is based on the 2006 film which tells of Andy Sachs, a recent journalism graduate who, despite her disinterest in fashion, gets a job working for Miranda Priestly, editor in chief of Runway magazine. She soon begins to change in order to get ahead but just how far will she go […]
