  • Oliver

    Gielgud Theatre

    As good as you’d want from Oliver – excellent creative choices to put together something truly outstanding

    The current version is (I think) as good as you’d want from Oliver (it will be hard to top) – at every point I think they made excellent creative choices to put together something truly outstanding. It is funny, entertaining, technically first class and doesn’t hold back from the darker side of the story. With or without children in tow It is one of my current top recommendations.

  • Hades Town

    Excellent all-round show, great story telling and worth repeated visits

    , ,

    Sung through musical loosely based on Orpheus and Euridice – I have seen 3 times and going again with my 11 year old. 1940s jazz(ish) inspired style – very well done.  Superb story telling.  I am very keen to see the current cast – some excellent talent.

  • Cabaret

    KitKat Club at the Playhouse Theatre

    Dark and challenging – draws you in and makes you complicit in the world it creates – great singing, acting, directing and the rest.

    I really love this version of Cabaret – It is dark and challenging – it draws you in and makes you complicit in the world it creates – great singing, acting, directing and the rest. As it is a rotating list of stars cast as lead (EmCee and Sally Bowles) the feel of the overall experience does depend somewhat on who is in the lead, but overall it is a top show.
