42nd Street was last seen at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane on London’s West End in 1984. Now playing at the same theatre as it did then, it is undeniably back where it belongs. Keeping its loyalty to the story yet putting a new and exciting spin on the show itself, this is the perfect revival of such an amazing old fashioned musical. The score is wonderful, and vividly brought to life by Jae Alexander and his 18 strong orchestra. With songs such as 'We're in the Money', 'Lullaby of Broadway' and the title number '42nd Street' this is one musical that will have you tapping your feet all the way home!

Review: POSH at the Pleasance Theatre
By Phil Willmott Tuesday, April 4 2017, 15:26
Posh was a breakthrough hit for playwright Laura Wade in 2010 when a general election put the spotlight on to the Bullington Club, an organisation for privileged Oxford students which counted the prime minister of the time, David Cameron and the anticipated next Prime minister, Boris Johnson as former members.

Review: HONK at the Union Theatre
By Phil Willmott Monday, April 3 2017, 13:55
A delightful family show, Honk, has just opened at the Union Theatre, where I often direct.
It’s 20 years since this early musical by George Styles and Anthony Drewe was the unexpected choice for a major production at the National Theatre and an even more unexpected choice to win the Olivier award for best musical, defeating the newly opened Lion King and Mamma Mia. All this was unexpected not because it isn’t a very good show, it is, but because on the surface it’s such a sweet unassuming little piece; however beneath the slight story of a lost ugly duckling who discovers he’s a swan is a powerful anti-bullying message.

Review: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Wimbledon Theatre
By Andrew Bewley Monday, March 20 2017, 09:01
La Cage Aux Folles is a ground breaking piece of work. Written in 1983 the show is based around the relationship of female impersonator Albin and businessman Georges (played by John Partridge and Adrian Zmed) a gay couple who have been living together for twenty years, run the cabaret nightclub which gives the show its title and where Albin stars in drag as Zaza, and they've brought up George’s heterosexual son.

Review: MY BRILLIANT FRIEND at The Rose Theatre Kingston
By Nastazja Domaradzka Sunday, March 19 2017, 09:07
This spring The Rose Theatre Kingston has staged the world premiere of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan saga which has been translated in many languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Adapted from the four lengthy volumes by April de Angelis, the story of two female friends growing up in post war Italy is an epic two part production that in an imaginative and moving way captures the strength and complexity of female friendship. Yet whilst Melly Still’s production offers plenty of great moments the overall feeling is that MY BRILLIANT FRIEND is perhaps a too ambitious a project.
