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...

The Duck House review
The Duck House is the latest resident at the ever changing Vaudeville Theatre. I have to say I was looking forward to the show as I am a big fan of Mock the Week and Have I Got News For you and it just so happens the show has been penned by Dan Patterson and Colin Swash (respective writers of the...

Henry V review
The final production in the inaugural season by the Michael Grandage Company may well prove to be the most popular, thanks in the main to the casting of Hollywood favourite Jude Law as Henry V. In many ways Grandage has left the heaviest text of his season to the very end, although some careful...

Twelve Angry Men review
There has been a flurry of new plays opening in the West End in the past few weeks, presumably to establish themselves in time for the festive holidays. I would say that Twelve Angry Men is the best of the bunch. It is a true hard hitting drama that will achieve what many productions fail to...

Jeeves and Wooster review
This show is whimsical farce if ever I were to indulge in one! There really isn’t anything not to like about the Goodale Brothers’ Jeeves and Wooster in The Perfect Nonsense, unless of course you are devoid of all humour and joy. Based on P.G Wodehouse’s well known tales of good old Jeeves...

From Here To Eternity review
Tim Rice is back in the game after a 13 year hiatus with his latest foray into musical theatre, From Here To Eternity! The show is derived from James Jones’ novel and 8 time Academy Award winning blockbuster of the same name, both depicting events surrounding the 1941 bombing of Pearl...
