REVIEW: THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE (Adelphi Theatre)
Musicals usually take several months to be rehearsed, produced, choreographed and put together, to get the quality required for the West End stage. They usually have months of workshops and countless runs. However the industry better watch out. It seems Showtime Challenge has managed this in 48 hours. The show began with a bang. We […]

Fellow blogger and actress Katie Brennan has been going from strength to strength these last few months with her cabaret show ‘The Quarter-Life Crisis’ which debuted at the The Alley Cat Bar before selling out the St James Studio (twice!). And it’s easy to see why. If you are twenty five, or have ever been […]
REVIEW: BU21 (Theatre 503)
BU21 takes on the question that most of us tend to avoid: how would I cope? If it happened to me, how would I bear it? Each of the six young Londoners in Stuart Slade’s new play has been caught up in a terrorist attack in Fulham – the deadliest since 9/11. We follow their […]
REVIEW: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (Ye Olde Rose and Crown)
Warning: Contains strong language, weapons, and penguins. In a world where politically correctness has gone too far and freedom of speech debatable, it seems quite shocking to think that despite everything women have fought for, there are still men out there who treat us like shit. In this shocking, yet funny true story, ex-Airwoman Crookshank […]
