Wicked the musical hit, which tells the story of the wicked witch in the famous “The Wizard of Oz” has been attracting thousands of audiences to the West End for over 9 years. To use the word spectacle would not give justice to this production as it is pure musical theatre ecstasy for both eyes and ears, yet despite its great visuals and vocals there is something lacking in this world of Oz.

Review: SLAP at The Theatre Royal Stratford
By Phil Willmott Monday, October 5 2015, 11:58
The Theatre Royal, in Stratford, East London has a fine tradition of giving a voice to those under represented in theatre. In the 1960’s director Joan Littlewood put a whole generation of East End writers on stage and in recent years Philip Hedley and now Kerry Michaels have tirelessly reflected the culture and ethnic diversity of London in the range of writers they’ve presented in the lovely old Edwardian venue.

Review: SHOWSTOPPER! at the Apollo Theatre
By David Grewcock Friday, October 2 2015, 13:53
Arriving for an extended run in London off the back of another hugely successful Edinburgh Festival stint, Showstopper! is a very welcome addition to the more familiar musical offerings on Shaftesbury Avenue.
The premise is delightfully simple: the cast and onstage band create a brand new musical from scratch every night. With suggestions fielded from a very enthusiastic audience, the cast are given a setting, combined with some existing show titles as reference points, and they’re off.

Review: Nell Gwynn at Shakespeare’s Globe
By Nastazja Domaradzka Friday, October 2 2015, 13:27
After last year’s highly acclaimed “Blue Stockings”, Jessica Swale returns to Shakespeare’s Globewith her new play “Nell Gwynn”, a story about an orange seller girl turned actress, who becomes the mistress of King Charles II. Not only is this an incredible piece of writing, but it also guarantees an evening full of entertainment, laughs and socio-political references; all of which suit The Globe’s ambience and architecture more than perfectly.
