MJ The Musical at Prince Edward Theatre
MJ The Musical is approaching its 1st birthday in the West End and with a new MJ on the block a return visit was in order to see a new actor take on this role. The show is a jukebox musical which is set on the eve of Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour. The […]
Bat Out of Hell at The Churchill Theatre
Bat Out of Hell is possibly one of the most random musicals I have seen. Often with jukebox musicals the story is tenuous in order to try and weave together the songs but this show takes that to a new level. Bat Out of Hell is a loose retelling of Peter Pan. It tells of […]
Wicked at The Apollo Victoria
Wicked is a West End staple and one that I have seen a few times over the years but I always enjoy returning to any West End staple to see different people in the roles and to remind myself just why they are such long running shows. Wicked tells of two unlikely friends, Elphaba a […]
Mrs Doubtfire at Shaftesbury Theatre
With Mrs Doubtfire closing in April I knew I had to get along and see it or risk missing it and suffering huge FOMO so I finally got myself along to the Shaftesbury Theatre. Mrs Doubtfire is based on the 1993 film starring Robin Williams of the same name and it tells of Daniel Hilllard, […]
Titanique at The Criterion Theatre
Would my latest visit to the Criterion see me boarding the ship of dreams or sinking faster than a boat that’s hit an iceberg. I had no idea what to expect but as a Celine Dion fan (I mean who isn’t) I had high expectations of Titanique however this show blew these expectations out of […]

The Color Purple by Sedos
When I heard that The Color Purple was going to be part of Sedos’ season I was excited for so many reasons. Firstly this is a show that I had heard so much about but never had the chance to see. Additionally this is a show that requires an all black cast, something that is […]
Wicked – Part 1
The Wicked film is something I have been waiting for ever since I heard the Broadway cast recording back in 2003. When the show transferred to the West End in 2006 it quickly became my favourite musical at the time and 20 years later I was thrilled that the show has made its way to […]
[Title of Show] at Southwark Playhouse
[Title of Show] is a journey through musical theatre in the most meta way possible. Within the show Jeff and Hunter decide that they want to write a musical to enter it into a festival. Of course the writers of [Title Of Show] are also called Jeff Bowen (Music and Lyrics) and Hunter Bell (Book) […]
