Tuesday, 16th January 2023 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mischief Comedy strike gold yet again with the hilarious Peter Pan Goes Wrong, a top notch farce full of surprises led by an excellent cast. It’s exactly what it says on the tin, this show: “Cornley Youth Theatre” are putting on a production... 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, 10th January 2024 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The stage adaptation of Life of Pi is a stunning piece of theatre, a spectacle-driven piece which is as visually rich as it is emotionally compelling. Much like watching War Horse or The Lion King, this show is a glowing example of why... Continue Reading →
Saturday, 13th May 2023 at Leeds Playhouse ⭐️⭐️⭐️ John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, once a GCSE text staple (remember the spoilers helpfully left behind in the margins by the outgoing Year 11 students?), is currently finishing up its tour at Leeds Playhouse. Following an unlikely pairing of itinerant workers during the Great Depression, this... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 26th April 2023 at York Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Based on the celebrated 1992 Baz Luhrmann film and promising to lift the curtain on the competitive ballroom scene, this show offers comic glimpses of backstage squabbles, underhanded dealings and blossoming love alongside some impressive dance numbers. The story? Scott Hastings and partner... Continue Reading →
Thursday 29th March 2023 at Camden People’s Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Just by reading the description of Dia-Beat-Es, performed and written by Paul O’Donnell (who self-identifies as ‘he/him/bro/dawg/homie’), one might think: Oh, is he serious? You might also consider, this is either going to be wildly offensive or wildly successful. I’m pleased to... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 14th March 2023 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Time Machine: A Comedy, written by Steven Canny and John Nicholson and directed by Orla O’Loughlin, is very funny - when it hits its stride. Laying the foundations in Act 1, the cast introduce H.G. Wells’ great great grandson who has decided to honour the... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 15th November 2022 at York Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best thing about The Cher Show, aside from the stellar talent at the heart of it, is that it does exactly what it should do: it reminds us all, loud and clear, what an absolute diamond Cher is. Not just for her... Continue Reading →
Thursday 10th November 2022 at The Old Red Lion Theatre Pub, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Note: some mild spoilers follow. TW: references to depression, self-harm, suicide, and suicidal thoughts/ideation. In recent years, I’ve grown quite sceptical of the two-hander “uni hook up” play. It’s always the same thing: the Gen Z couple that can’t... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 9th November 2022 at Leeds Grand Theatre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re a fan of any kind of foot-stomping, roof-raising, mood-lifting choral singing, you’ll love Fisherman’s Friends The Musical. Packed to the gunnels with snatches or full length ditties and sea shanties, this show offers a two in one: an engaging story of love and loss... Continue Reading →
