An American in Paris: Dominion Theatre, London Reviewed on Wednesday 16th August 2017. This show was a feast for the eyes! The projections were some of the best I have ever seen. In some shows they can seem to detract from the action on stage but in this case they completely added to it and... Continue Reading →

Yank! A World War II Love Story: Charing Cross Theatre ★★★★★ I normally wait a while before reviewing but this show was just amazing and I wanted to get my thoughts down straight away. I saw Yank! A World War II Love Story at Charing Cross Theatre on 2nd August 2017 and I am so... Continue Reading →
Beautiful
I saw Beautiful on the 28th July 2017, a week before closing on the West End. I had seen Cassidy Janson 9 years ago understudying Elphaba in Wicked so was looking forward to seeing her again and I had heard good things about the show. The set was very clever, moving the piano to quickly... Continue Reading →
Half a Sixpence
I managed to catch Half a Sixpence before it closed on 2nd September at the Noel Coward Theatre. Unfortunately it was one of Charlie Stemp's planned days off but I saw Sam O'Rourke who was great in the role. The use of the revolve stage really worked well to maximize space on the stage and...

Wicked Cast Change 22nd July 2017
Wicked's fanbase is huge and cast changes at this show are immense. There were 21 cast members leaving last night and so the audience were on fire! I hadn't actually seen this cast but was really excited to see Suzie Mathers, Idriss Kargbo and Willemijn Verkaik. As usual the show was almost sold out and... Continue Reading →
Working a Musical
I saw 'Working a Musical' at the Southwark Playhouse on 1st July 2017. With composers Stephen Schwartz and Lin-Manuel Miranda I knew it would be interesting and well told but I was blown away by the level of storytelling and acting as well as the super score. The stage was tiny but well used throughout.... Continue Reading →
On The Town
I saw On The Town at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre on 8th June 2017. It was my first time at an Open Air Theatre and the weather wasn't exactly fantastic but luckily the rain held off. It was a good experience. Although it felt a bit odd getting covered in leaves, hearing birds and... Continue Reading →
The Braille Legacy
I saw The Braille Legacy on the 3rd June 2017 at The Charing Cross Theatre. Having never been to this theatre I was really impressed. The seats were comfortable, view was great and the overhead noise of the trains was actually less noticeable than the Phoenix Theatre. The show itself was just superb! I loved... Continue Reading →
The Girls
I saw The Girls on 1st June 2017 just after it had been announced that it would be closing in early July. The auditorium was fairly full but I think it will do much better on the 42 venue tour it will embark on soon. The set, designed by Robert Jones, was really interesting and used... Continue Reading →
Whisper House
I saw Whisper House at The Other Palace on 22nd April 2017. I didn't know much about the show at all but quickly got drawn into the unique storytelling. Niamh Perry has a lovely 'ghost-like' quality to her voice and I found her really captivating as a ghost. She played the role really well and... Continue Reading →
