Valley Boy, City Life
Wilma’s Rating **** Ben Vivian Jones brought his new show to London’s Union Theatre for one night of self indulgent comedy about his life and sexploits as a gay man growing up in Wales. Valley Boy, City Life is brought to life through comedy monologues and song, which had the audience laughing all the way […]
Varla Jean Merman / Well Strung
Wilma’s Rating **** I’ll be honest with you dears, I really didn’t fancy this show. But I am so glad I went as I had one of the best nights ever (well at least this week). Drag Sensation Varla Jean Merman has returned to London after ten years and her Book of Merman show (which […]
Barking In Essex
Wilmas rating *** If you find the word c**t offensive then Barking In Essex isn’t the show for you. It is used repeatedly for the first ten minutes of the show and then peppered throughout. The lady sat next to me scoffed every time the word was said and muttered ‘I don’t like that word’ […]
Afraid of the Dark
Rating **** Reviewed by Alex Foott Click here for tickets Sidling along the row and dropping into my seat, I thank my lucky stars that I have been placed slap-bang in the middle of the auditorium. No chance of being grabbed by any shadows lurking in the aisles (thankyou, very much!) Suddenly, the audience’s […]
The Speed Twins
Rating ** Reviewed by Tony Peters A glance at playwright Maureen Chadwick’s television credits and one could be forgiven for expecting something here along the lines of the populist Waterloo Road and Footballers Wives that she has created for the small screen. So this drama comes as something of a revelation, at least from the […]
Sincerely Mr Toad
Rating *** Reviewed by Alex Foott Splashing about in the wake of its critically acclaimed run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sincerely, Mr Toad flings forth its fresh-faced cast to show us the rather unexplored story of one of Britain’s most celebrated writers. Sell A Door Theatre Company’s latest work is an ambitious biopic […]
Christina Bianco
Wilmas Rating **** The Hippodrome Casino, London Broadway star and recent YouTube sensation Christina Bianco has exploded onto our computer screens over the past few months with her celebrity impressions of well known stars. Christina came to London’s West End Hippodrome Casino for four sold out shows titled ‘Diva Moments’. On stage Christina explained the […]
REVIEW: Titanic (Southwark Playhouse)
Titanic the Musical (written by Maury Yeston) is the well known true story of the unsinkable ship Titanic, that sailed its one and only voyage in 1912. After hitting an Iceberg, the unthinkable happened and the unsinkable ship sank. With lifeboats on board for less than half the passengers, ultimately many people died. The musical […]
Kerry Ellis
Last night, queen of theatre Kerry Ellis, performed a one night only concert at the London Palladium. An incredibly stagey affair, opening with the wonderful Woman the Band, (4 women currently on tour with Billy Ocean) belting out wonderful arrangements of well known songs, with a distinct country music feel to them. I was blown […]
Rent In Concert
Wilmas Rating [rating=4] The 20th Anniversary tour of Rent In Concert made its second stop on the tour last night at London’s Hackney Empire, playing to a sold out audience of 1,300. With a star studded cast including Kerry Ellis, Nikki Davis Jones, Rory Taylor and Ian Stroughair, it is not surprising that the […]
