REVIEW: A SPOONFUL OF SHERMAN (Greenwich Theatre) ★★★★★
I feel I should start this review with a very open declaration; I am a big Disney fan. A very big Disney fan. Be it the films, songs or theme parks, I am obsessed with it. So, it was no surprise to anyone I know that when the opportunity to review the new tour of […]
REVIEW: RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL (Arts Theatre) ★★★

Now in its sixth incarnation since its conception in 2011, Miss Nightingale has taken up residency at the Hippodrome Casino in London after a successful run at The Vaults in Waterloo.
