REVIEW: Mythic (Charing Cross Theatre) ★★★★★
I recently reviewed Eugenius. Mythic is everything that Eugenius thinks it is, but actually is not. Mythic is charming, has great songs and well written strong characters. It does not take itself too seriously and as a result is very funny. It is also rather touching and quite moving in parts. The show programme tells […]

I can scarcely think of a better way to spend a cold autumn evening than listening to Lerner and Loewe’s moving score played by an orchestra and company as marvellous as this. Most famous for the […]
REVIEW: Northern Ballet: The Three Musketeers (Nottingham Theatre Royal) ★★★
Nothern Ballet’s production of The Three Musketeers pirouetted its way into Theatre Royal Nottingham last week. Watching The Three Musketeers felt a little bit like reading a novel that’s had every other page torn out, creating several plot holes and unexplained scenarios. I once read another reviewer’s comment that the plot “falls over itself”, and […]
