Racky Plews’ production of Footloose has reached its final destination its UK tour at the Peacock Theatre in London. Based on the famous 1984 film that starred Kevin Bacon, the musical follows a high school senior called Ren who moves to a small town called Bomont and, after learning that the small town has banned…

Knives in Hens @ Donmar Warehouse
I absolutely adore going to watch shows at the Donmar Warehouse as their productions always feel very intimate and it can’t get any more intimate than Yaël Farber’s Donmar directing debut in David Harrower’s Knives in Hens. The play features three brilliant actors but even they couldn’t save this very bizarre and boring play. The…

Against @ Almeida Theatre
How do I explain what drew me to this world premiere production of Christopher Shinn’s new play Against? Well for starters, my favourite actor Ben Whishaw is leading the cast and that’s enough for me to buy a ticket. I also find myself intrigued by new plays, they must be good if a theatre with…

Girl From The North Country @ The Old Vic
After Conor McPherson gained critical acclaim for his play The Weir, he is currently premiering a new play about a family in Minnesota in 1934, during The Great Depression at the Old Vic. The play interweaves music from the back catalogue of Bob Dylan and defies the term “jukebox musical” where most shows form a…

Antic Disposition’s Richard III @ Temple Church
Antic Disposition’s production of Richard III is currently concluding its tour at Temple Church, just behind Fleet Street, after having toured the country performing in various churches. This production was the first time I had heard of Antic Disposition, a touring company of actors who perform classic plays with a modern twist. I was particularly…

Jesus Christ Superstar @ Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre
After missing the initial run in 2016, I was super thrilled to get my hands on a ticket to Timothy Sheader’s critically acclaimed production of Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar. Considering I’m a massive musical theatre fan, I’ve only seen 1 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and that was School of Rock,…

Hamlet @ the Harold Pinter Theatre
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. On paper, I think it’s a marvelous insight into how one man is grieving the death of his father. My first experience of the play on stage was the production at the Barbican in 2015 starring Benedict Cumberbatch and the infamous Danish prince.…

Annie @ Piccadilly Theatre
Nearly 40 years after premiering in the West End, the musical adaptation of Harold Gray’s comic strip Little Orphan Annie, Annie the Musical has landed back in the West End with a crash, louder than Miss Hannigan when she’s had a few bottles of gin. Charles Strouse & Martin Charnin’s famous score sings proudly and…

The Philanthropist @ Trafalgar Studios 1
In case you are new here, the start of reviews is where I tell you what the show was about. I can’t do that with The Philanthropist, because fuck all happened. Starring an exciting cast of comedic talent like Simon Bird, Charlotte Ritchie, Matt Berry & Tom Rosenthal, this is sure to be a hit…

Jest End @ Waterloo East Theatre
I was super thrilled to see, a couple months back, that Jest End would be returning to the Waterloo East Theatre. Written by Garry Lake, Jest End is a hilarious piss take on shows and gossip within the West End. I had seen the show for the first time last year with a different group…
