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 Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a musical that has been in development for a while but at each stage met with joy from those who have been lucky enough to see it. I was in that category in 2019 at Southwark Playhouse and adored it then so I was keen to seen if […]
Amaze at The Criterion Theatre
Jamie Allan is only the 3rd illusionist to have a extended solo West End season, following in the steps of Paul Daniels and Derren Brown. I was therefore looking forward to discovering a new (to me) magician and seeing what he brought to the West End in his show, Amaze. The show is rooted in […]
Why Am I So Single? at The Garrick Theatre
Why Am I So Single is the latest musical from writers of Six, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss to hit the West End. This show, whilst retaining Marlow and Moss’ humour that we have become familiar with in Six, is miles away from the Tudor Court and is set right up to date with the […]
Guys & Dolls at Bridge Theatre
As it has been nearly 18 months since I last attended the Bridge Theatre for Guys & Dolls I was thrilled to return to check out the new cast including Gina Beck as Sarah. This production of Guys & Dolls is a wonderful production which merges the classic story with a fresh take that sees […]
Stranger Things The First Shadow
Stranger Things The First Shadow takes the audience into the Duffer Brothers famous sci-fi world and leads them to Hawkins in the 50’s, 4 decades before the TV show is set. Fans of the TV show will meet familiar characters and see origin stories played out on stage in front of you, whilst retaining the […]
Hello Dolly at The London Palladium
Hello Dolly is back in London nearly 60 years after its debut on the West End and the revival itself opened after a postponement as a result of the Covid pandemic. The musical tells of Dolly Levi, a widow, who makes her living through matchmaking, amongst other things. Whilst she has been employed to find […]
Something Rotten in Concert At Theatre Royal Drury Lane
Something Rotten has final hit the UK shores, at least in concert form. It feels like a long time coming for a show that is centred around Shakespeare and his birth place and I was thrilled to see if the show lived up to the hype. The show tells of the Bottom Brothers Nick and […]
