Thursday 28th March 2024 at Marlebone Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dorfman Prolific writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short story The Dream of a Ridiculous Man was first published in 1877. It isn’t the most light-hearted tale. Dostoevsky’s work famously explores the human condition in the troubled political climate of 19th-century Russia. It is, however, a story that can...

Monday, 25th March 2024 at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes A new musical, Wild About You, roars into the West End for its world premiere in concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Based on Eric Holmes’ book and with music and lyrics by Broadway’s Chilina Kennedy, Wild About You follows Olivia (Rachel... Continue Reading →
Thursday, 29th February 2024 at Soho Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Compellingly nonsensical and beautifully chaotic as ever, Lucy McCormick is back with "Lucy and Friends," her self-proclaimed cabaret cum solo show meets spoken word/performance art piece, or some such amalgamation of genres. I first saw McCormick about 2 years ago in an off-the-cuff cabaret... Continue Reading →
Wednesday, 21st February 2024 at the Yard Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman When I first encountered Samuel Takes a Break... in 2021, in a teeny, 15-minute scratch as part of Omnibus Theatre's Engine Room, I still remember one line nearly 3 years later. It's a line that tour guide Samuel (played with equal parts levity and... Continue Reading →
Friday, 2nd February 2024 at Pleasance Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Based on real events- which you can hardly believe actually happened- Awkward Productions’ Gwyneth Goes Skiing is a deliciously campy drag/comedy that, despite the occasional hiccup, will leave any audience member (in the words of Linus Karp’s Gwyneth) “gooped and gagged” for more....

Wednesday, 31st January 2024 at Charing Cross Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes From the Wild West to the West End, Bronco Billy - The Musical is a zany, uplifting comedy-drama about reinvention and following your dreams. Based on Clint Eastwood’s 1980 American-western comedy-drama of the same name (yes, another film-to-musical adaptation!), Bronco Billy premiered in Los... Continue Reading →
Friday, 26th January 2024 at The Cockpit Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Though the premise is intriguing, “The Ending” doesn’t quite deliver what it says on the tin. Billed as “what happened after the classic story of Orpheus and Eurydice,” you might expect a re-jig to the ending of the classic myth. The ending,... Continue Reading →
Friday, 12th January 2024 at The Turbine Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Every Londoner has their own stories of the weird and wonderful things they have seen take place on the tube. Cockfosters creates a melting pot of those scenarios in a laugh-out-loud 60 minutes, which is amazingly shorter than the journey depicted in the show (Heathrow... Continue Reading →

Wednesday, 15th November 2023 at Soho Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Christmas has arrived early in London as Matt Rogers’ show, Have You Heard of Christmas? delivers a hilarious interpretation of the holiday season. Written by and staring Matt Rogers, the musical comedy takes us through Rogers’ debut Christmas album. The score features pieces written... Continue Reading →
