I was apprehensive before seeing this musical about one of my favourite bands. Knowing that West End productions have a tendency to glamorise real stories I was worried the gritty spirit of The Kinks would be lost. I am happy to report that I was wrong - this is the best musical I have ever seen!
We meet the members of the band when they are still playing for weddings and trying their best to get out of Muswell Hill.

It’s been a momentous week for Audra McDonald’s UK fans. Just prior to her first solo concert in the UK for 16years it was announced that McDonald would be reprising her Tony Award winning performance as Billie Holiday in ‘Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill’ at the Wyndham’s Theatre this summer. Audra as Billie is a performance that I urge you not to miss. But I will go into more detail about that later.

In 2013 I was absolutely blown away by Thom Southerland’s dazzling chamber version of the musical Titanic. However his Grand Hotel last year was a disappointment. I was therefore hoping he would be back on form with the UK premiere of the cult Broadway musical Grey Gardens. Sadly this is a weakly cast, and sloppily directed production of a show that is desperate for both real star wattage and clever direction if it is going to succeed.

Guys and Dolls has triumphantly transferred from Chichester to the Savoy Theatre.
In my opinion it’s one of the most perfectly constructed musicals ever written. Every song is a joy, every joke is funny and it has four of the most lovable characters you’ll ever find in any show making the romance all the sweeter.

I’m a huge fan of theatre productions that add a modern twist to well-known stories, making them more relevant to modern audiences. WONDER.LAND, the National Theatre’s collaboration with Daman Albarn (from the 90’s pop group Blur) could be one of these productions, however Lewis Carroll’s original Victorian tale of a girl discovering marvels beneath a rabbit hole barely survives in this digital oriented spectacle.
