Should you find yourself suffering from the post-Christmas January blahs I would like to suggest that you quickly get yourself to the St. James theatre to see the soul stirring ‘The Pianist of Willesden Lane’. I can assure you that this unique combination of play and classical piano concert performed with love and humanity by the talented concert pianist Mona Golabek is just the type of theatrical experience you need at this dark time of year.

Review: Ellen Terry with Eileen Atkins at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
By Davor Golub Wednesday, January 27 2016, 15:06
This was my first visit to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse the candlelit, replica Jacobean theatre that is part of the Globe Theatre complex. If truth be told I was almost as interested in seeing the theatre itself as I was at the prospect of seeing the wonderful Dame Eileen Atkins in her one woman show recreating Ellen Terry and her renowned Shakespeare lectures. Thankfully, uncomfortable seating aside, both the theatre and Dame Eileen did not disappoint.


Review of 4000 DAYS at the Park Theatre
By Sarah Mercer Wednesday, January 27 2016, 14:44
4000 DAYS, currently playing at the delightful Park Theatre, has a premiss that is easy to get excited about.
It tells the story of Michael, who after spending several days in a coma, wakes up to the realisation that he has forgotten the last eleven years of his life. To make matters more complicated, these are the exact years featuring his partner, Paul.


Review: SUNNY AFTERNOON at The Harold Pinter Theatre
By Nastazja Domaradzka Tuesday, January 26 2016, 20:17
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.


Review: Audra McDonald in Concert at the Leicester Square Theatre

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.
