REVIEW: SUNSET BOULEVARD (English National Opera)
It is always lovely to see historical moments in theatre history recreated. Recently we had Marti Webb reprise the role she originated in Tell Me On A Sunday (thirty years after the fact) and now we have Glenn Close reprising the award winning role of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard at the ENO. Norma Desmond […]

Heliot Steak House at The Hippodrome
Bookatable – Europe’s biggest online restaurant booking service has called The Heliot Steakhouse (inside the Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square) the ‘Best Steak Restaurant in London’. Overlooking a place I frequent often (the main casino) I obviously jumped at the chance to check out their Pre Theatre Menu. Between my friend and I we sampled some […]
Kerry Ellis to star in the UK Premiere of MURDER BALLAD at the Arts Theatre
“This steamy show is a love triangle with a razor’s edge. The show features taut, tart, and pungent lyrics by Julia Jordan and Juliana Nash. It’s a show that knows exactly what it wants to do, and then does it, with no apologising or backtracking.” The New York Times Soundcheck Productions is thrilled to announce […]
REVIEW: AMERICANA IN CONCERT (Theatre Royal Stratford East)
It’s not often that you want to leave the theatre ninety seconds after the lights go down. ‘Americana in Concert’ is sadly one such instance. ‘Americana’ is about growing up queer as a young American at High School. Sound familiar? Think ‘Rent’ or ‘Bare’ or ‘Xanadu’ or any of the other countless musicals that deal […]

REVIEW: How the Other Half Loves (Theatre Royal Haymarket)
Awkward situations. Perhaps one of the worst case scenarios for the stereotypical British person. We don’t handle them well and if we do find ourselves in said awkward situation, we tend to ignore it. However, in the theatre we adore them, especially the humour that arises from them. Alan Ayckbourn writes awkward scenes extremely well […]
