A negative review isn’t necessarily a bad thing… is it?
Last week, one of my reviewers went to see a new musical production called Broken Wings which has a short run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End. I have heard the concept recording and thought it was wonderful but as for the actual production my reviewer didn’t love it as much as […]

REVIEW: STUPID CUPID (Underbelly Clover) ★★★★
In July, West End Wilma interviewed Liz McMullen about her Edinburgh show Stupid Cupid, and I took it upon myself to check the show out.

REVIEW: BRING IT ON (Southwark Playhouse) ★★★
Before he revolutionised musical theatre with the smash-hit Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda lent his genius to the adaption of an all singing, all cheerleading Bring It On the Musical which makes its UK premier at the Southwark Playhouse. Based on the 2000 film of the same name, the musical follows Truman High cheerleader, Campbell (Robyn McIntyre), […]
REVIEW: Everything’s Going to be KO (Pleasance Courtyard) ★★★★
We are greeted by Cecilia, a lovely calming, soft voiced creature who runs us all through a series of tests; where there are no wrong nor right answers. As the tests continue it becomes clear that however calming and relaxed Cecelia seems, we are not relaxed about the questions and more importantly the answers. And […]

REVIEW: Russian Roulette (Hounslow Arts Centre) ★★★★★
A new format has come to town. One big wheel of shows. One roulette wheel. One tombola… and pure chaos. In Edinburgh, there will be three Russian plays on the wheel but for the sake of the preview the seagull was pre-chosen. However, the madness was not. On every ball in the tombola there is […]
