The Secret Garden
Wilma’s Rating [rating=5] If it were possible to award this show more than 5 stars, then I would, but 5 is sadly the maximum. The most beautiful music I have heard in a long time and it amazes me, yet again, to find such a masterpiece at The Kings Head Theatre. It truly is […]

Wilma’s Rating [rating=3] “We left our country, for our country’s good”. A line spoken by one of the hundreds of British criminals that had been sentenced to a life of punishment on a remote island in Australia in the late 1700’s. A true story of a group of criminals who were made to put […]
Thriller Live!
Rating [rating=3] Reviewed by Michaela Clement-Hayes Like everyone, I grew up with Michael Jackson’s music (Earthsong is one of my favourites). Having heard mixed opinions about Thriller Live, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was excited to see something different. Sitting in the stalls we had a good view of the stage, which […]
