Review: 3*** An Evening of Burlesque – The Adelphi Theatre @BurlesqueShowUK

Some excellent and talented dancers who didn’t get enough time to shine or show what they could do amid a slightly disjointed array of cabaret. An Evening of Burlesque –  the UK’s longest running burlesque show, is on an almighty tour of the country and for one night only at The Adelphi, we were promisedContinue reading “Review: 3*** An Evening of Burlesque – The Adelphi Theatre @BurlesqueShowUK”

Over the last decade or so, dating has completely changed. Gone are love letters, childhood sweethearts and meeting at your local social club, and replacing all that is battling the perils of Tinder, speed dating, Plenty of Fish and the like.

Review: 5***** Six the musical at Arts Theatre London – JUST WOW!

Six is one of those shows!Continue reading “Review: 5***** Six the musical at Arts Theatre London – JUST WOW!”

Review: 2** Saturday Night Fever @marlowetheatre

#Tweetingit – 2** a troubling storyline which should be updated for a modern audience and choreography that could be far more impressive particularly since the cast doesn’t sing. 5***** for the “Bee Gees” performing the classic songs. Full review to follow. Saturday Night Fever is possibly the first of the Jukebox musicals; a show jam-packedContinue reading “Review: 2** Saturday Night Fever @marlowetheatre”

Review – 5***** The full monty The Marlowe Canterbury @FullMontyPlay @marlowetheatre @Gary_Lucy

Ok, so let’s begin with clearing something up straight away; THIS IS NOT A MUSICAL. I have seen it before and was aware it wasn’t a musical but I did hear a few people at the interval saying that they were upset/confused/disappointed that it wasn’t a traditional musical with the cast singing, and rather itContinue reading “Review – 5***** The full monty The Marlowe Canterbury @FullMontyPlay @marlowetheatre @Gary_Lucy”

Review: 5***** Calendar Girls: The Musical. The Marlowe, Canterbury @marlowetheatre @GaryBarlow @thegirlsmusical

“I’m not crying you are” I had one or two concerns entering the theatre on this September night. No, not a single one about what I knew to be a fabulous musical (having seen it once before) but more that I had been bigging it up to the rest of the press crew for monthsContinue reading “Review: 5***** Calendar Girls: The Musical.
