Review: BRIGADOON at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre

Lerner and Leowe’s rarely performed mystical tale of charm and whimsy staged amidst the ethereal mists and magic of the Regent’s Park Open Air setting is a summer joy, even when intermittently interrupted by the descent of a Scottish-themed drizzle.

Review: SAVING MOZART at The Other Palace

Mozart, the boy prodigy and musical genius who followed in his sister’s footsteps and was subjected to the tyrannical diktats of his ambitious and domineering father Leopold, is forced to perform for the crowned heads of Europe. We’ve been here before. Only now, the well worn story of Wolfie Mozart has been turned into a musical, but with a bare minimum of Mozartian leggiero.

A ROLE TO DIE FOR: Everything You Need to Know

Farcical, frenetic, and bitingly funny, A Role to Die For has a lot to say about the future of the movie business, and isn’t afraid to hammer the point home. But a brilliantly talented cast and a tongue in cheek satirical tone saves it from being entirely too heavy handed.
