REVIEW: Kooza (Royal Albert Hall) ★★★★★
The Royal Albert Hall has transformed into a zany, hypnotic and, quite simply extraordinary kingdom called Kooza! The shows opens with an Innocent Clown who stumbles aimlessly on stage with his kite that never quite gets off the ground. He encounters the Trickster Clown, a confident and athletic man who back flips up and down […]

Sam Simmons
Wilma’s Rating [rating=4] Hilarious Australian and stand up comedian, Sam Simmons can currently be found performing his show ‘About the Weather’ at London’s Soho Theatre. A friend of mine wanted to go and so we did! When I asked how she knew the comedian and whether he was good she told me she had […]
Beauty and the Beast
Wilma’s rating [rating=3] This Christmas, Upstage Productions returns to the Radlett Centre in Hertfordshire with Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast is one of the lesser performed pantos this year and so I was happy to go along to see something a bit different! The show tells the story of a beautiful […]
Constellations
Wilma’s Rating [rating=4] Constellations is the third in a series of Royal Court productions being staged at London’s Duke of Yorks Theatre. The wonderful Posh and the not quite so wonderful Jumpy have previously been staged here with Constellations ending its West End season. The Royal Court are certainly going out with a bang! […]
Room On The Broom
Wilma’s Rating [rating=4] I’m not sure why I wanted to go and see Room On The Broom. It’s for three-year olds but I think more than anything I liked the look of the poster! The idea of having to get up and to the theatre before 12pm was an interesting idea to me and […]
Slava's Snow Show
Wilma’s Rating [rating=3] Slava’s Snow Show opened last night at The Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre. A show unlike anything you have ever seen. No words, just funny looking clown type creatures that keep you engrossed for 90 minutes by not really doing very much at all! Of course, having the word […]
Aladdin – a dream come true
Wilma’s Rating [rating=3] I’m not a huge lover of panto if I’m honest but when I heard Lily Savage was making a comeback to star in Aladdin at the O2, I knew it was one show I had to go and see. Staged in the newly built pop up tent at London’s O2 arena, the […]
Viva Forever
Wilma’s Rating [rating=3] As soon as the overture began, the audience went wild for the familiar sound of the Spice Girls songs. The story of Viva Forever is current and simple. Four girls on a TV talent show ‘Star Factor’ which makes no attempt to hide the fact it is based on UK TV show […]
