REVIEW: BRONSON, ETCETERA THEATRE ★★★★
Charles Bronson – Anger. Blood. Violence. And shouting is what I expected. And I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a big ask to represent the multiple personality disorder of one infamous criminal with one actor across a single hour. Especially when the representation that most people will be familiar with will be Tom Hardy’s method film portrait. […]
High School Musical, Review (Troubadour Wembley Park) ★★★★★
High School Musical has been brought to life on stage at London’s Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre – totally not my thing but I couldn’t fault it! THE STORY High School Musical follows Troy Bolton (originally played by Zac Efron in the 2006 film), East High’s golden-boy basketball captain, and Gabriella Montez, a shy, brilliant new […]
Into The Woods, Review, Noel Coward Theatre, London
Following a successful run at the Bridge Theatre last year, Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical, Into the Woods, has transferred to the West End’s Noel Coward Theatre in its first major London staging since 2010. First staged in 1986, Into the Woods masterfully intertwines four Brothers Grimm fairy tales, following a Baker and his wife, a […]
REVIEW: 20th anniversary revival of Conor McPherson’s THE SEAFARER
Dublin-born playwright Conor McPherson is no stranger to the world of theatre, having written the Bob Dylan musical Girl From The North Country, the recent West End revival of The Weir and the bizarre stage adaption of The Hunger Games on Stage. His adaptation of The Cherry Orchard is now also playing at the Harold […]
REVIEW: Little Shop of Horrors, Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester
I’ve always thought of Little Shop of Horrors as The Rocky Horror Picture Show with plants, which I now realise is underselling it. They may share the same high camp, B-Movie absurdity and ridiculous premise, but Little Shop is very much its own creation. Based on the low-budget 1960 horror film, Alan Menken and Howard […]
REVIEW: RENT at the Tom Stoppard Theatre ★★★
People will love it – it just wasn’t the version of RENT that I wanted to see. One of the most hyped revivals of 2026 has to be Jonathan Larson’s Tony Award-winning musical RENT, now playing at the newly renamed Tom Stoppard Theatre (previously the Duke of York’s) in London. Staged in the West End […]
Paranormal Activity returns to the West End and is frightfully good
Psychological thrillers on stage are the latest craze. From The Woman in Black to The Exorcist and more recently the 2:22 – A Ghost Story franchise, we are spoilt for choice if we want to see a play that raises our heart rate. Following a hugely successful run earlier this year, Paranormal Activity returns to […]
REVIEW: Hay Fever at Wyndham’s Theatre ★★★★
What do the wealthy elite do to keep themselves occupied? How does someone who has everything amuse themselves? By playing with the only thing they can’t buy – each other. Written in 1924, Noël Coward‘s Hay Fever is a comedy set in the English countryside, where a retired actress potters around the garden learning the […]
Amanda – The Night Before Me, Review (Bridge House Theatre) ★★★★☆
After selling out stages across Austria and Germany, Amanda – The Night Before Me has finally made its London debut and it is exactly the right time for this story to be told. Divina de Campo, best known to many as a finalist in the first UK series of RuPaul’s Drag Race, carries the entire […]
REVIEW: The Last Ship at Theatre Royal Drury Lane ★★★
When you’re sitting in the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane watching a 17-time Grammy Award-winning rock icon performing his own material live on stage, it’s hard not to feel like you’re getting a once in a life time experience. And throw in (for two performances only), 90’s reggae pop star Shaggy (yes, that Shaggy), it’s […]
