Review of War Horse at the New London Theatre
By Daniel Perks Friday, March 6 2015, 08:24
The fact that the stars of this show are mechanically operated puppets does not detract at all from the emotion that you feel here. If anything, I would give this production more praise – making me cry at the obstacles that a horse and his owner overcome is nothing short of incredible!
I’ve always thought that the New London theatre was a strange venue. Obviously built much later than some of its older, more classically designed counterparts, it reminds me of the National Theatre in its concrete 1960s structure and its complicated interior design.

Review of The Commitments
By Daniel Perks Thursday, March 5 2015, 09:09
Another jukebox musical that you sit pleasantly through and then forget when you leave the theatre. The songs are brilliant as expected, but the storyline needs a lot of work for this to compare to others in its category.
The Palace Theatre is not a small place. Situated on the junction between the two main roads in London’s West End, it commands an almost perfect spot to catch the eye of tourists, theatregoers and commuters alike.

Review of Beautiful - The Carole King Musical
By Phil Willmott Friday, February 27 2015, 16:13
The producers of Beautiful have today released over 350,000 new tickets presumably in response to demand since the reviews have come out. It's great news and proof that a hit can come out of a seemingly unpromising idea.
Unpromising because unless you're an expert on twentieth century pop you probably haven’t heard of King. But I’m happy to report that like Jersey Boys (featuring the music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons) and Thriller Live (drawing on the back catalogue of Michael Jackson) Beautiful is one of those terrific evenings when you suddenly discover how many of your favourite hits are the work of one artist.
