Good People review
David Lindsay-Abaire’s Tony Award winning play, Good People, is a sad insight into the life of those living on the breadline, compared with the lives of those who “made good.” I am usually one for escapist theatre, but having read a deluge of news articles recently about just how many people...
Let The Right One In review
If “vampires” could be considered a genre, it would undoubtedly be one of my favourites. With a teenage love of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and a slight True Blood addiction as well as penchant for spooky novels, I was very excited that a new scary and somewhat blood thirsty show was arriving in...
Once review
There is no shame in admitting that I have seen Once not once, not twice but thrice! On third viewing I have decided it is officially my favourite musical on the West End. Once has it ALL; heart, soul, beauty, comedy and perfect, perfect music. I am really not one to gush, but this show is...
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels review
"It was a ball, it was a thrill! You had the grace, you had the skill!" Lyrics from Dirty Rotten Scoundrel's finale number that I couldn't have said better myself! This new arrival on the west end is a classy musical romp that will have you tapping your feet and smiling from beginning to...
I Can't Sing! review
I Can't Sing The X Factor Musical encapsulates modern day sentiment in a weird and wonderful piece of cultural candy floss. Or maybe a better analogy would be popping candy; a surprise and delightfully strange indulgence. Yep, I Can't Sing! is a lot like popping candy, it's a kind of low brow,...
Fatal Attraction review
With the film having coined the now notorious notion of the Bunny Boiler, I was very excited to see an onstage adaptation of James Dearden’s Fatal Attraction; who doesn’t love a bit of psycho b*ch of an evening! I was especially eager to see this production for three varying reasons, one, I was...
Blithe Spirit review
Hoping along to the Gielgud Theatre is always a rather glamorous affair; the architecture is beautiful and it has one of my favourite theatre bars in the West End (I am a sucker for a good mezzanine and a sparkly chandelier!) Therefore not only was I rather excited to be sitting in the lush Stalls...
The Weir review
Conor McPherson's 1997 Olivier Award-Winning play, The Weir, has made a triumphant West End transfer from the Donmar Warehouse to the Wyndhams Theatre. And what better time of year to welcome a dark, chilling story than the gloomy months of winter. I would say that The Weir, directed by...
Mamma Mia! review
Mamma Mia! Here we go again… That’s right, another day another ABBA hit blasting out from the stages of 8+ countries. Mamma Mia! took to the London stage 15 years ago and has since played to over 50 million people across the world. However on my second visit to the show, now running at the...
Stephen Ward review
As a big Andrew Lloyd Webber fan, I was thrilled to hear a new show by the man himself was coming my way! Further to that, on learning that the hotly anticipated musical was to be based on the biggest sex scandal of the 1960’s, I was frankly gleeful; sex, drugs and 60’s swinging sounds like my...
