Review: ANNIE at the Piccadilly Theatre
By Phil Willmott Monday, July 24 2017, 14:51
It's always tricky as a critic when the negativity you feel about a production isn't shared by the audience around you. So although I found the current revival of Annie at the Piccadilly Theatre weak for a number of reasons, people all around me were loving it and gave the evening a standing ovation; so I'm allocating it four stars inspired by their reaction and not the three which reflect my grumbles.

Review: TWILIGHT SONG at the Park Theatre
By David Scotland Tuesday, July 18 2017, 16:45
Kevin Elyot was a prominent playwright and screenwriter. He is best remembered as the creator of the comedy My Night with Reg. Winner of the Olivier award for Best New Comedy when it was first produced in 1994, the play was recently revived in a production which started life at the Donmar Warehouse before receiving a West End transfer and subsequently winning the Olivier award for Best Revival.

Review: YANK! at the Charing Cross Theatre
By Phil Willmott Thursday, July 13 2017, 09:07
It's great that London audiences, including me, are finally getting a chance to see Yank! the American musical by composer Joseph Zellnik with book and lyrics by his brother David. New Yorkers have been raving about it to me for years.
The revival currently playing at the Charring Cross Theatre, fast becoming the venue for quality and innovative musical theatre under the Artistic Direction of Thom Southerland, started life at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester. The critics loved it and enterprising producer Katie Lipson has lead efforts to bring it to London.

Review: INSTRUCTIONS FOR AMERICAN SERVICEMEN IN BRITAIN at Jermyn Street Theatre
By Phil Willmott Monday, July 10 2017, 09:32
What a treat to duck out of the sticky london heat and descend into the comparatively cool air conditioned Jermyn Street Theatre.
This month a genuinely funny comedy, Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain, awaits you, performed with infectious energy by three actors, Matt Sheahan, Dan March and James Millard (aka comedy troup The Real MacGuffins) who are so likeable they almost defy you not to enjoy yourself.
