REVIEW: BLOOD BROTHERS (Richmond Theatre)
Everyone has secrets. Everyone has something they regret, something they think about all the time, that eats them up inside. But none of that compares to regrets and decisions in Blood Brothers – the story of the Johnstone twins, as like each other as two new pins. Friendship. Love. Superstition. Betrayal. Tragedy. Willy Russell’s […]

REVIEW: LET IT BE (Churchill Theatre, Bromley)
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Let it Be as I don’t really listen to The Beatles. I was pleasantly surprised as to how many songs I recognised and some old classics of course. Let It Be isn’t a musical, nor should it be treated as one. It is a tribute concert and celebration of […]
