I Can’t Sing at the London Palladium ★★★

I Cant Sing brings the X Factor to life on stage in the West End. Reality TV show stage adaptations are a tricky thing to get right. The Spice Girls musical Viva Forever attempted to do it last year but sadly failed (although I loved it!) and now we see another attempt in I Can’t […]

Fatal Attraction

James Dearden’s stage version of his own 1987 blockbuster movie arrives at the Theatre Royal Haymarket directed by Trevor Nunn and those who asked “why?” when the idea was first mooted will find no answer to their question in this slick but rather shallow, uninvolving production. For those who don’t know, it’s the story of […]
