REVIEW: Hamilton (Lewis) (Kings Head Theatre) ★★★
A rather clever but very silly musical parody of the hit show Hamilton, tracing the rise of Lewis Hamilton has come to the Kings Head Theatre. The company of four actors introduce us to the show, advising us it is good for Hamilton fans and good for Formula 1 fans and questioning why anyone would […]
