Review: GROUNDHOG DAY at Old Vic
By Stuart King Friday, June 9 2023, 10:39
This theatregoer waxed lyrically about the London production of GROUNDHOG DAY back in September 2016. Subsequently, its Broadway transfer added a clutch of Tony nominations to the Olivier award it won for Best New Musical. Now back in London with Andy Karl once again leading the cast as cynical womanising weatherman Phil Connors, the run at the Old Vic is sure to dazzle audiences once more.

Over 20 years have elapsed since Ben Elton and Queen’s theatrical collaboration first hit the West End where despite universal derision from critics, it eventually clocked-up an impressive 12 years at its 2000+ seater home at The Dominion. Boasting 24 of the band’s most recognisable rock anthems, WE WILL ROCK YOU now begins a 12-week summer residency at ENO’s even larger capacity venue The London Coliseum.

Review: THE SHAPE OF THINGS at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, June 1 2023, 08:46
Neil LaBute’s 2001 story was originally a stage play but gained more traction in the public’s mind as a movie version starring Rachel Weisz and Paul Rudd. Here, reimagined for the intimate Park Theatre, director Nicky Allpress has once again tapped into the fascinating realm of relationship power-play and manipulation.

Review: 2:22 - A GHOST STORY at Apollo Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, May 31 2023, 10:52
Danny Robins’ small-scale stage thriller has become something of an underground hit with audiences having opened at the Noël Coward, followed by further runs at the Gielgud, the Criterion and most recently the Lyric theatre. Now a new cast have been assembled to continue the ghostly goings-on at the production’s new home at the Apollo on Shaftesbury Avenue.
