Dangerous Liaisons by Sedos
As a long-time fan of SEDOS, I was excited to be able to attend the first night of their first full dance production and intrigued to see how Dangerous Liaisons could possibly be adapted for this medium. Rest assured, my expectations were exceeded on both counts as the evening unfolded into a masterclass of dramatic […]
Soho Cinders by Sedos

How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying by Sedos
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is one of those musicals that I feel I really ought to have seen and thanks to Sedos I finally got the chance to do so. It is a musical which tells of J. Pierrepoint Finch who is following an instruction manual to climb the corporate ladder. […]
Next Thing You Know by Sedos
Next Thing You Know was not only a musical I had never seen before but a show that wasn’t even on my radar. It is by Joshua Salzman and Ryan Cunningham. It tells of 4 young people in New York who are trying to figure out life, with everything from relationships and work thrown into […]

The reality is that for many groups nowadays, there is an almost invisible line between so called professional performance (ironically […]
The Drowsy Chaperone by SEDOS
The Drowsy Chaperone The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical which harks back to the golden era of musicals, except with a twist. It is told from the point of view of a modern day narrator, a man in a chair who uses his favourite show as a means of escapism. Of course this show is […]
Candide by SEDOS
Candide When SEDOS asked me along to review their current production of Candide I didn’t hesitate. Candide is a musical that I knew very little about but heard its name a lot so I was keen to finally see it. The show tells of our simple hero, Candide, who is taught by philosopher Dr Pangloss, […]
Reefer Madness by SEDOS
Reefer Madness Reefer Madness by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney, is a musical I have never come across before so when invited by SEDOS to review the show I jumped at the chance. The show tells of the downward spiral of Jimmy Harper, who under the influence of Jack Stone, becomes addicted to marijuana whilst […]
