Rocky Horror Show
Wilma’s Rating [rating=5] The first time I saw The Rocky Horror Show (many years ago) I was dressed up to the nines in fishnets and suspenders (a lovely thought I know). Last night however, I decided to leave that to the younger generation and go in my normal attire! Wimbledon didn’t disappoint (even for a […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Cabaret
Wilma’s Rating [rating=5] The West End wouldn’t be complete with a Kander and Ebb show and since the sad closure of Chicago I have been desperately missing the razzle dazzle in town. Cabaret has all the winning ingredients needed in a show and is the kind of thing (like Chicago) where I could have stayed […]
American Idiot
Wilma’s rating [rating=2] Maybe I was the idiot at last nights performance of American Idiot but I didn’t understand a thing that was supposed to be happening during this show. Not a good start for a show really! Wikipedia tells me the story is about “three disaffected young men, Johnny, Will, and Tunny. Johnny and […]
