REVIEW: Jason Robert Brown at the London Palladium ★★★★★
It is an ironic joke, one which Jason Robert Brown mentioned during the concert, that his musicals tend to fail on Broadway. When, judging by the buzz of audience who packed out the London Palladium as his fandom from across the pond, Brown’s genius composing speaks for itself. There is something charming in the honesty […]

REVIEW: Cream Tea and Incest (The Hope Theatre) ★★★★★
This, all-too-short, farcical romp through the British-aristocrat-period-genre is a masterpiece of comedy, closely following in the limelight of the great farces in its jolly little outing in Islington. The cheekily titled, ‘Cream Tea and Incest’, is a little difficult to describe, so here is what it is not; ‘Jeeves and Wooster’ – the gentleman and […]
