Review of Bakersfield Mist

Bakersfield Mist Everybody loves dinner after a show in the West End but it has to be the right show to give you time for a bite and your journey home afterwards. Now, thanks to producer Nica Burns there’s BAKERSFIELD MIST, a perfectly formed slice of drama, starring real life, Hollywood royalty that whizzes through in barely 90 minutes leaving you plenty of time to search out that perfect Covent Garden eatery for supper, a glass of wine and a chat about what you’ve seen.

Review of Miss Saigon

Miss Saigon - Prince Edward Theatre The Eighties are back. Or at least a fine example of the eighties blockbuster musical.

Throughout that decade the producer Cameron Macintosh dominated the West End and Broadway with a series of phenomenally successful shows including Les Mis, which is still very much with us on stage and DVD and Miss Saigon which ran for many years at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

Review of The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre

The Book of Mormon Heaven in the West End does exist and it can be found at the Prince of Wales Theatre.

There has been a lot of media coverage of new musical The Book of Mormon due to a PR campaign that could rival a major Hollywood blockbuster, but what they all fail to mention is that this musical is of celestial nature in more than one way. The production doesn’t just deal with religion in song and dance; it leaves audiences practically walking on air, if not on water. The Book of Mormon is truly the last supper of musical theatre, as the pleasure-giving, awe-inspiring, riotously funny show feeds its audience with delicious entertainment to rival all others.
