Duncton Wood – Union Theatre
The Union Theatre is a small fringe theatre with very intimate spacing that is situated in the heart of Southwark. The theatre itself has reputation for staging high-quality musicals in its tiny studio space, examples such as a very successful run of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta season, Bare, The Dreaming and its latest success, […]
Miss Saigon – Prince Edward Theatre
There is something to be said for sitting in the front row at the theatre. It’s not the ideal place to be if you’ve not seen a show before, as you are so close to the action that you are constantly turning your head to look in particular places. Saying that however, if you’ve seen […]
Just Jim Dale – Vaudeville Theatre
I was never really an avid watcher of the Carry On films and so the name Jim Dale wasn’t one I was overly familiar with, so I went along to see his new one man show Just Jim Dale with an open mind and no real expectations. One day Jim realised there must be more […]
James Freedman Man of Steal – Trafalgar Studios
Following a successful run at The Menier Chocolate factory, James Freedman is now presenting his Man of Steal show at the Trafalgar studios. This hour long spectacle is difficult to put into the regular pigeon hole of a West End show and is actually a little difficult to describe. I guess essentially it’s a magic […]
Dogs of War – Old Red Lion Theatre
During university break, Johnny visits his parents at home in “the middle of nowhere”, Northern Ireland. Both parents have taken early retirement because his mother is mentally ill. Johnny’s father desperately tries to keep on top of the family’s finances, while Johnny himself sways between obsessing over his video game and freaking out about the […]
Beta Testing – Udderbelly Festival
Juggling is not a particularly sexy art form. I don’t think the sentence ‘he was such a good juggler I wanted to bite his bum’ has ever been uttered. So it makes sense that Circus Geeks have capitalised on the nerdish nature of juggling to create a cross between The Big Theory and the Big […]
The Taming of the Shrew – New Wimbledon Studio
The Taming of the Shrew kicks off the “Love in a Time of War” series at New Wimbledon Studio. Bored of the evergreen Shakespeare? Do not give this one a miss because of that – certain to give every play a yet unseen twist, Arrows & Traps will deliver a truly fresh take on the […]
Son of Man – Bread and Roses Theatre
Son of Man tells a reimagined story of Jesus (Yeshua) and the events leading up to the beginning of his ministry. In this re-telling, Yeshua (played by baby-faced Calvin Crawley) is not born of a virgin; rather, he is the product of an extra-marital affair between his mother and a Roman. He has blond hair […]
Jason Robert Brown – Royal Festival Hall
Jason Robert Brown is a three-time Tony Award-winning composer, lyricist, conductor, arranger, orchestrator, director and performer. He is best known for his scores to several of the most renowned and award winning musicals of our generation. Brown returns to London to perform his hits after selling out his last two shows at the Garrick Theatre, […]
Peter Pan – Regents Park Open Air Theatre
Peter Pan is a childhood adventure we’re all familiar with, be it the musical Disney version, the popular Christmas play or perhaps even the forthcoming epic drama ‘Pan’ which adheres to the current trend for bringing beloved tales to life with more humanity, more reality and fewer songs. While last year’s Lost Boy Musical […]
