Starlight Express

Very occasionally a show comes along that stuns the world of musical theatre. Fairly recently it was Hamilton that sent shockwaves out when it opened at the Victoria Palace in 2017, and, way back in 1984, the same thing happened when Starlight Express opened across the road at the Apollo Victoria. Now, Starlight Express is back, and it is just as thrilling and entertaining as it always was – with […]

Next To Normal

When writing this review the only words I can find are WOW, WOW and WOW!! Unfortunately our reviews need to be a little longer than just four words! So, where to begin. I had no preconceived idea as to what to expect from this show. I’d read the blurb and had a basic understanding, but nothing prepared me for the two and a half hour emotional rollercoaster I was a […]

Kiss Me, Kate

Kiss Me, Kate is a cavalcade of Cole Porter classics, wrapped up in a story that has always seemed a little over-complicated to many – and the summer production at The Barbican Theatre proves that very well indeed. The fact that the overture to the piece happens about 10 minutes into the show takes a little bit of getting used to but, as the orchestra strikes up, we hear familiar […]

Here You Come Again

Knowing only the title, I visited Leicester’s Curve for opening night of Here You Come Again on Tuesday 11 June, and I haven’t seen anything quite like it before. Surprisingly for a musical, it’s a two-hander with musicians. We have Kevin – a northern forty year-old Dolly superfan struggling with self-confidence, played by Steven Webb – and Dolly needing no introduction, played by Tricia Paoluccio. Dolly ‘comes to life’ from […]

My Fair Lady – Leeds Playhouse

It’s hard to transport a 21st century audience back to the 1900s, but Opera North’s production of My Fair Lady did all that and more at the Leeds Playhouse. Their dazzling revival of this timeless classic brought a refreshing freshness to the beloved story, which follows Eliza Dolittle (Katie Bird), a poor flower seller with a strong Cockney accent who dreams of a life beyond the streets of Covent Garden. […]

Marie Curie – A New Musical

The Charing Cross Theatre should be commended for bringing into the West End musicals that we might not otherwise get to see. Like Les Miserables or Titanic, the first challenge is that the subject matter is well known so we are expecting to be taken to dark places, the second challenge is how do you keep an audience captivated – when you think you know where the story is going. […]
