Wicked Celebrates 15th Birthday in London’s West End admin
Review: The Lion King 08/03/2023 - Palace Theatre, Manchester by Tiffany Chevis From Rafiki’s first iconic note, the magic of The Lion King fills the theatre, becoming more awe-inspiring as each creature takes to the stage. Translating a beloved animated film into a physical space is no mean feat, and yet nearly 25 years after its first staging on the West End, this production continues to captivate audiences. The story […]
Review: Bugsy Malone 09-11-22 Manchester Opera House by Tiffany Chevis The glitz and glamour of New York, showgirls and speakeasies, gangsters and Hollywood dreams. New love and old rivalries. All the classic ingredients for a dramatic story filled with tension and excitement. Just swap the bullets for cream, throw in some jazzy tunes – and cast all the main characters as children. Bugsy Malone is the nearly 50-year-old movie musical […]
Review: Jersey Boys 19-10-22 by Tiffany Chevis at Manchester Opera House What do you get when you mix mob debts, an impressive lead falsetto, and rhinestone-covered lapels? It can only be the remarkable rise, and chaotic fall, of the Jersey Boys. Harking back to a golden age where boyband’s dance moves were just as snappy as their suits (oh, where have we gone wrong!), what may surprise anyone other than […]
Review: Beautiful 12-10-2022 by Tiffany Chevis at Manchester Palace Theatre If you’ve ever listened to the radio, you’ve probably heard a Carole King song. A prolific composer, singer, and songwriter who sold her first song aged just 16, her music – often written alongside husband Gerry Goffin – was performed by The Drifters, The Shirelles, The Monkees, and Aretha Franklin to name just a few, before her own voice became […]
Review: Anything Goes 09/06/2022 by Tiffany Chevis at Palace Theatre Manchester Filled with romance and glamour, Anything Goes sails back to the heady 1930s, where dreams were fervent, freedoms were fresh, and loves were many. The classic story of pursuant affection takes place aboard the SS American ocean liner, steaming across the Atlantic from New York to London. A melee of characters find themselves thrust together – from disguised gangsters, […]
Review: Passion 19/05/2022 by Tiffany Chevis at Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester This stirring tale of infatuation and obsession, is given sharp focus within Elin Steele’s stark set for Passion at the Hope Mill Theatre. In an intimate venue such as HMT, it is simplicity that enables Sondheim’s music to wrap itself around the audience in this stunning production. Draped white linen next to stiff moving panels mirrors the differences between […]
Review: Singin’ In The Rain 10/05/2022 by Tiffany Chevis at Manchester Opera House Bursting with charm and the charisma of a bygone era, Singin’ in the Rain is storming across the UK in its latest tour. Whilst one or two of the early scenes may not sit so comfortably with a modern audience – the approach to the female dancers could perhaps be altered without affecting the storyline – the […]
