Review: STARLIGHT EXPRESS at Troubadour Wembley Park

This reviewer last had the pleasure of experiencing Starlight Express at the Apollo Victoria in 1988 after key tweaks and revisions were incorporated into the London show from the Broadway production. Having stayed on track for 18 years, wowing millions of fare paying passengers during that time, it finally ran out of steam in 2002. Now, 22 years after reaching the end of the line, an entirely revamped production hopes to electrify a fresh generation of musical trainspotters at the 2000-seater Troubadour venue at Wembley Park.

Review: THE MARILYN CONSPIRACY at Park Theatre

An empty bottle of 50 Nembutal barbiturates, prescribed just a few days before Marilyn Monroe’s death in August 1962 aged just 36, was largely accepted at the time, as the means of her suicide or cause of an accidental overdose. Medical examiners pointed to a lack of a manicure and pedicure to suggest the actress no longer cared about her usual glamorousness — a sure sign of her unstable and potentially volatile mental state!
