Pam Ann has Tea With Wilma

The World Goes Round
The World Goes Round (a Kander and Ebb songbook) opened at The Union Theatre this weekend, coincidentally in the same week that the Sondheim retrospective opened at the St James Theatre. There is something very charming about the intimacy of the Union Theatre. There are no microphones, no elaborate sets and there is no where […]
Lost Boy
Peter Pan represents what none of us can ever be – eternally young and innocent. It’s a great premise to consider what would happen to a generation of ‘lost boys’ – J. M.

Curious Incident to move

The theatre closed in late December after part of the ceiling collapsed during a performance of the show. It has been announced today that the show will move to the Gielgud […]
Stephen Ward
Rating ***** Reviewed by Sarah Holland The Aldwych Theatre, London WC2. Playing until 1st March 2014 A moving and powerful musical, Stephen Ward is a sophisticated cocktail of sex, spies and politics – for adults only.
