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. […]
Next To Normal by Sedos
Next to Normal is a musical that has only very recently become available to amateurs here in the UK and Sedos snapped up the rights to this award winning show after an incredibly successful run at the Donmar Warehouse in 2023 and a West End transfer in 2024. Since its limited run in the West […]
Dreamgirls by Sedos
Dreamgirls is a musical which opened on Broadway in the early 80’s but didn’t come to UK shores until the film in 2006 and the West End production some ten years later in 2016. It tells of a female singing trio called the ‘Dreams’ and follows their rise to success, their friendships and fall outs […]
Assassins by Sedos
Despite Assassins being written by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman over 30 years ago this remains one of Sondheim’s most relevant works. The show portrays historical figures all of whom have something in common- they tried to kill a President. Assassins looks at the individuals from a variety of angles, from the real people, the […]
The Crucible by Sedos
The Crucible is an iconic play, written in 1953 by Arthur Miller. It is set in Salem during the witch trials and examines how rumours of witchcraft escalate from preacher Parris finding his daughter and niece, Abigal dancing in the forest through to the imprisonment and death of those that find themselves front and centre […]
Hedda Gabler by Sedos
Hedda Gabler is a play by Henrik Ibsen that is much discussed in theatrical circles but up until seeing Sedos’ production I had yet to experience it for myself. Sedos’ production used the Patrick Marber’s version which was first presented in 2016 at the National Theatre, some 125 years after its original performance. The show […]
Hairspray by Sedos
The Nicest Kids In Town have hit the Bridewell stage for Sedos’ production of Hairspray. I am a huge fan of Hairspray having seen several professional and amateur productions of it as well as having directed an amateur production of it myself. I’m always therefore keen to see Hairspray and see what a new cast […]
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 […]
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 […]
[BLANK] by Sedos
What a treat to review SEDOS and their play [BLANK] Amateur productions can often be hit or miss, but [BLANK], with its simple black box stage and the ever-present ensemble, was a triumph of acting, guiding the audience on a moving journey of community and growth. Written by Alice Birch and composed of 100 individual […]
