What an enticing prospect: the chance to see two of the worlds most celebrated actors, Ralph Fiennes and Vanessa Redgrave in close up at this intimate venue. They were electric on screen together in CORIOLANUS and they're currently reunited in a production of RICHARD III directed by one of our most adventurous Shakespeare directors, Rupert Gould.

Review: ALADDIN at the Prince Edward Theatre
By Phil Willmott Monday, June 20 2016, 10:17
Packed with fun, spectacle and great songs, many of which we all know and love, Disney's stage adaptation of their animated big screen mega-hit is a joy.
Street kid Aladdin and his love interest Princess Jasmine have the perfectly toned physiques of porn stars and only face a few minor hiccups as they head towards their inevitable matrimonial happy ending. They're helped on their journey by a magic carpet, Aladdin's three bros, and especially by a show stealing genie, released from a magic lamp; all this despite the efforts of a villainous vizier and his pint sized and hyper sidekick.

Review: ZIK’R at The Peacock Theatre
By Stacey Tyler Friday, June 17 2016, 10:20
Blending the dance style of flamenco with the beautiful sounds of Sufi music, ZIK’R is a reworking of a piece that has had a previous life at many venues across the UK.
Initially the show is exciting, opening with a bang and we are instantly transported into the world of flamenco. The stark stage is filled with bright yellows depicting the sunrise and the beginning of the journey as flamenco made its way from India through many different places until it settled in Southern Spain.

Review: HOBSON’S CHOICE at the Vaudeville Theatre
By Phil Willmott Thursday, June 16 2016, 15:39
Harold Brighouse's vintage comedy, HOBSON’S CHOICE, is what is known as a “crowd pleaser”. A big, warm, family comedy set in picturesque Edwardian Lancashire and featuring vivid characters that mostly turn out to have hearts of gold.

HAMILTON: The Musical that can stop traffic
By Phil Willmott Wednesday, June 15 2016, 09:02
I was in New York recently and decided to check out the smash hit musical Hamilton to see what all the fuss is about. No chance, I pulled every favour I could but no one could get me a ticket, the production is booked up solidly for at least the next year. But they do a daily on-line lottery. You have to register by a certain time and at 4pm you get an email letting you know if you've been successful or not. I imagined if I tried that every day for a week the odds were I'd win a ticket, I mean, how many other people would apply that much determination? Wrong again. 4pm brought disappointment every day.
