Wicked Celebrates 15th Birthday in London’s West End admin
Review: Anne Boleyn the Musical 06-08-25 Hever Castle by Teresa Brown Some shows bring history to life. This one invites it to sit beside you, whispering in your ear, galloping past on horseback, and echoing through the very walls where its heroine once lived. This world premiere from Historalia Productions isn’t just another retelling of Anne Boleyn’s rise and fall. It’s a haunting, glorious homecoming. Staged on the grounds of […]
Review: Burlesque ★★★★☆ 04-08-25 The Savoy Theatre - by Jamie Griffiths Much has been made of Burlesque The Musical’s arrival in the West End after its record-breaking runs in Manchester and Glasgow. The truth is, this Savoy staging is lavish, ambitious and just a little bit crazy, and somehow it all comes together on the night. What emerges is an energetic tour de force that’s impossible to take your eyes […]
Review: Titanique 03-07-25 Criterion Theatre by Irene Christodoulou ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the absolute joy of attending the Titanique gala night at the Criterion Theatre last night, part of the Pride in London celebrations, and I’m still buzzing. This show is an absolute blast from start to finish. I laughed so much. I danced in my seat. I couldn’t stop grinning. It’s five stars from me. From the moment Luke Bayer […]
Review: Dear England 01-06-25 Lowry, Salford Quays - by Jamie Griffiths ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ James Graham's Dear England has made a triumphant transition to touring, and under Rupert Goold’s direction, this latest production feels as vital, sharp and emotionally rich as ever. Thoughtfully revised and brought right up to date, it rewards both newcomers and returning audiences, proving how successfully a piece rooted in recent history can evolve and deepen with time. […]
Review - Dear Evan Hansen Wales Millennium Centre 29-04-25 by Emily Garside ‘Dear Evan Hansen, this is going to be a good tour and here’s why…’ The first UK tour of Benji Pesak and Justin Paul’s Tony and Olivier-winning musical is a revamped version of this modern classic. It has much to live up to; beyond awards, there is a devoted fan base for the teen musical that originally starred […]
Review: Glorious Hope Mill Theatre 06-03-25 by Jamie Griffiths Glorious isn’t a musical — far from it! In fact, heaven forbid anyone attempts a cast recording. But what it is, is a celebration of music, passion, and a woman who sang like no one was listening (even though, unfortunately for them, they were). This show contains the essence of joyous musical theatre and it's a heartfelt triumph. Directed with a […]
Review: The Parent Agency ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Storyhouse, Chester 19-02-25 by Jamie Griffiths Adapted by David Baddiel from his best-selling children’s book, The Parent Agency is a brand-new family musical featuring music by acclaimed songwriter Dan Gillespie Sells (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) and direction by Tim Jackson (Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York). Part fantasy fairytale in the tradition of The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, we step through […]
Review: Here You Come Again Sunderland Empire, 11-02-25 by Steve Colman I had high expectations for Here You Come Again, the Dolly Parton musical, and it’s safe to say those expectations were not just met but exceeded. Originally written by two-time Emmy Award-winning comedy writer and songwriter Bruce Vilanch, alongside Gabriel Barre and Tricia Paoluccio, this production has been adapted for the UK by acclaimed playwright Jonathan Harvey (Gimme, Gimme, […]
Review: NOW That's What I Call A Musical Opera House, Manchester 28-01-25 by Jamie Griffiths "Now That’s What I Call A Musical" unashamedly embraces the jukebox musical genre, delivering hit after hit in a fast-paced, high-energy production. Directed and choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood, the show exudes a real sense of fun, with the cast clearly enjoying themselves on stage. At the heart of the production is Nina Wadia, whose […]
