Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Is a Glittering, Feel-Good Night of Pure Entertainment There are some shows that send audiences out of the theatre smiling, and then there are shows like Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which have people leaving with a spring in their step, humming the songs and talking excitedly about their favourite moments all the way home. The current UK tour is a wonderfully uplifting […]
A Sparkling Summer Delight Filled with Style, Wit and Musical Charm High Society arrives in London like a perfectly chilled glass of champagne on a warm summer evening: elegant, effervescent and thoroughly enjoyable. Rachel Kavanaugh’s lavish new production of Cole Porter’s beloved musical comedy delivers exactly the kind of uplifting theatrical experience audiences crave, combining romance, glamour, comedy and a glorious score, in a production that feels both […]
Some revivals coast on nostalgia alone. Thankfully, The High Life: The Musical aims far higher. Bursting onto the stage with flamboyant energy and gloriously anarchic humour, this long awaited return to the world of Air Scotia celebrates its cult roots while confidently transforming television comedy into full blown musical spectacle. Much like the original television series, the show opens in the crew room, immediately recreating the familiar atmosphere […]
It’s safe to say I’ve been pining for Beetlejuice the Musical for some time now. In fact, if you’ve heard any of my show here on Box Office Radio, you'll know that I’ve said his name way more than three times! Based on source material that started out as a movie, then moved into a cartoon, toy line and video game franchise - Beetlejuice the Musical is a […]
Tonight I am at the press night of the brand new musical Redcliffe at the Southwark Playhouse Borough. Redcliffe has been a work in progress for a short while now, and I was lucky enough to see their Act One workshop at the Turbine Theatre during MT Fest 2024. The show now plays, for the very first time, in its full glory, and it’s marvellous to see how […]
There are certain productions that remind audiences exactly why local theatre remains such an essential and cherished part of community life, and TWODS’ magnificent production of Evita at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Royal Tunbridge Wells is unquestionably one of them. From the moment the curtain rises, the Tunbridge Wells Operatic and Dramatic Society delivers a performance filled with confidence, ambition and remarkable theatrical flair. Staged at the […]
The Last Laugh is one of those wonderfully comforting evenings at the theatre that sends you home smiling. Warm, funny and packed with affection for a golden age of British comedy, the play feels less like a formal stage production and more like spending time in the company of three old friends who just happen to be comedy legends. The premise is simple but inspired: Tommy Cooper, Eric […]
Cult musicals often survive on atmosphere as much as performance, and The Rocky Horror Show continues to attract enthusiastic audiences eager for a night of outrageous fun and audience participation. The latest touring production, starring, at some venues, Jason Donovan as Dr Frank-N-Furter, certainly delivers spectacle and energy, but it is a surprisingly uneven evening that too often mistakes volume for excitement. There is no denying the affection […]
The sequins sparkle brighter than ever in a brand new show from The Lady Boys of Bangkok, Full Moon, a gloriously extravagant evening of song, dance and laugh-out-loud entertainment that proves this long-running spectacular has lost none of its irresistible appeal. From the moment the music begins, Full Moon sweeps the audience into a whirlwind of colour, glamour and high-energy fun. It is a show that knows precisely […]
Very few musicals leave fingerprints on your heart quite like Blood Brothers. From the opening note, this production grips the audience with the quiet dread of a story already doomed, yet impossible to look away from. What makes Blood Brothers so enduring is not simply its tale of separated twins and class division, but the way it turns ordinary lives and a simple story into a superstitious drama. In […]
