A clever concept, fantastic technical elements and Paul O'Donnell's infectious energy carries the audience through We've Got Each Other, a one-man Bon Jovi musical that has its audience laughing from start to finish. Paul O'Donnell enters the stage …
It undeniably makes Bat Out Of Hell look like Hedda Gabler, but I sort of digged Notre Dame de Paris. With the ostentation and superfluousness of Cirque du Soleil's Vegas back-catalogue, this is unapologetic 'no-expense-spared spectacle-theatre' - but performed with …
Violet has 'heart' by the bucketload - with a captivating central performance, joyful score and thrilling ensemble vocals. Though the precision or urgency of Caroline, or Change isn't quite there (and comparisons between shows are inevitable at …
Acutely pitched and incomprehensibly energetic, Hot Gay Time Machine's high camp soiree into Toby Marlow and Zak Ghazi-Torbati's sexual awakenings is intelligent, unadulteratedly obnoxious and sublimely silly. Lucy Moss, Toby Marlow and collaborator Zak Ghazi-Torbati's second West End …
Charles Court Opera’s alternative panto offering of 2018, Buttons: A Cinderella Story, is on the money - impressing with a talented ensemble, quality production values and enormously funny (if not-so-innocent) gags. The King's Head Theatre is …

A rough-and-ready musical with talented musicians and humour aplenty, what Say My Name! lacks in its execution is made up for by pure irreverence. AMC's Breaking Bad is roughly 62 hours of family turmoil, violence and …
With a tour de force of a singing trio, witty lyrics and a fabulous shoe collection, Liberty Rides Forth! may not have the production values of a West End musical - but it's certainly got heart …
Mythic reimagines Persephone's story with beautiful songs, heartwarming harmonies and a show-stealing ensemble - but many characters amount to little more than stereotypes and the show's ending doesn't feel entirely thought-through. You’ll have come across the …
The King's Head Theatre's powerful and engaging modern re-imagining of Verdi's La Traviata is performed with remarkable passion and discipline. I haven't seen many operas in my time, so admittedly don't have a lot to compare the …
For all its intended 'eccentricity' and message of acceptance, Eugenius! is as formulaic and problematic as musicals come. If this is the 'Zoella' generation's equivalent of Rocky Horror, I'm sorry but they deserve better. A copious amount of …
