Thursday 4th December 2025 at Leeds City Varieties ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Natalie Potter Take yourself to Aladdin, The Rock’n’ Roll panto at the City Varieties, and from the very moment you step through the door, you're greeted with that unmistakable panto magic. It really is in the air… What's so special about this rock ‘n’ roll... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 19th November 2025 at the Grand Theatre and Opera House, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Slava’s Snow Show is quite simply a joy. It’s an experience, celebrating all the best that theatre can be when it’s at its most free and expressive. Possibly best described as being enveloped in a dream world of surreal creativity, the show... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 12th November 2025 at Leeds Grand Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Book of Mormon has enjoyed unwavering success since opening on Broadway in 2011, subsequently sweeping 9 Tony awards and entertaining huge audiences ever since. It’s a brave, razor-sharp show which ingeniously strikes a balance between satisfying musical spectacle and pretty outrageous punchlines and plot points.... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 21st October 2025 at York Theatre Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Torben Betts’ latest play is a companion piece to Murder at Midnight - this time taking comic embellishments and centring them to present a whacky hybrid of violent whodunnit and bedroom farce. It’s an interesting and entertaining mix, but it doesn’t entirely land. Direction from Philip... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 7th October 2025 at York Theatre Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lost Atoms is the latest offering from Frantic Assembly, and it’s a pretty emotionally charged piece documenting the blossoming and decay of a passionate love.

Wednesday 10th September 2025 at Leeds Playhouse Reviewer: Branagh O’Shaughnessy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Karis Kelly’s Consumed promises hungry ghosts and skeletons, and I have to say it delivers, just not in the way you would expect. Four generations of women are reunited for Elieen's 90th birthday, set in a homely and somewhat cluttered kitchen in Bangor (set:... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 24th June 2025 at Leeds Grand Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A good few years ago, I saw a production of Moira Buffini’s Handbagged and thought it was pretty inspired. A two hander, allowing us to watch Queen Elizabeth II and Margaret Thatcher behind the scenes? Fascinating. Now, this new work from Daisy Goodwin takes us behind... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 10th June 2025 at the Grand Opera House York The Last Laugh is a new play by Paul Hendy celebrating the legacy of three comedy legends: Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper and Bob Monkhouse. Hendy - a name locals will recognise from York Theatre Royal’s panto seasons - also directs, and there’s a definite sense of... Continue Reading →
Friday, 30th May 2025 at the Grand Opera House, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This improv show created by Degrees of Error sees a brand new murder mystery spontaneously take shape each night. Taken from audience offerings, the cast piece together random details to deliver a pretty bonkers combination of events in an affectionate spoof of the whodunnit... Continue Reading →
