Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE at the Adelphi Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Monday, September 12 2022, 09:53
Back To The Future: The Musical will only appeal to fans of the original film….so that’s pretty much everybody.
From the bar to the curtain, the Adelphi Theatre’s design sets the scene for show’s sci-fi theme. Bob Gale’s adaptation of the movie’s script is a faithful one. There are very few plot changes, and all the favourite jokes remain- Calvin Klein, Ronald Reagan, “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?!”.

Review: Tom, Dick & Harry at the Alexandra Palace
By Miriam Gibson Monday, August 8 2022, 11:31
“Gentlemen, if we pull this off it will be the greatest escape mankind has ever made”. Low stakes, then, in this enjoyable play depicting of the escape from Stalag Luft III Prisoner of War camp.
Tom, Dick & Harry begins in 1943, with a motley crew of captured airmen imprisoned in Stalag Luft camp in Nazi Germany. British pilots Ballard and Wings are the stereotypical posh-boy pilots seen in many stories about the RAF. But Tom, Dick & Harry also shines a light on airmen from across Europe, as well as Australia and the Caribbean. The band of heroes is winning, if broadly-drawn.

Review: JACK ABSOLUTE FLIES AGAIN at the Olivier Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, July 15 2022, 09:26
Jack Absolute Flies Again is a proper, old-fashioned farce. It’s silly, slapstick, and the jokes shoot at you as fast as if they’re being dropped from a Hurricane bomber.

Review: THE LION KING at the Lyceum Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, July 1 2022, 16:03
Twenty-three years after it opened on the West End, The Lion King is still performing to packed audiences. You can barely move through the Lyceum Theatre’s foyer without bumping into at least three Year Six classes on their end-of-term trip to London.
