The Let’s All Dance Ballet Company is currently touring Goldilocks the Ballet. The Let’s All Dance Company seeks to bring ballet that is accessible to all the family. Goldilocks the Ballet is in essence a children’s show – but this should in no way suggest a production that is dumbed down or reduced in production and performance values. There is something in the production for all the family whatever their […]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang This enchanting revival of the beloved family classic brings together an exceptional cast and creative team, resulting in a spectacular show that delights audiences of all ages.

Based on Ian Fleming’s charming story and the cherished […]

There are many scenes of various men having sex together, but this play is […]

The Choir of Man - Arts Theatre, London   I’ve been desperate to see The Choir of Man for quite some time and the show did not disappoint, in fact, it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, it was an electrifying experience that left the audience buzzing with excitement. The show is more than just a musical; it's an immersive journey into the heart of the best […]

Peter Pan Goes Wrong - National Tour   Peter Pan Goes Wrong is Mischief Theatre’s famed sequel to The Play That Goes Wrong, following the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s production of Peter Pan, but much like their previous productions, nothing goes according to plan and even results in personal conflicts in the cast, learning about their relationships and how each cast member changes over the course of the show. Peter […]
