REVIEW: Mythic (Charing Cross Theatre) ★★★★★
I recently reviewed Eugenius. Mythic is everything that Eugenius thinks it is, but actually is not. Mythic is charming, has great songs and well written strong characters. It does not take itself too seriously and as a result is very funny. It is also rather touching and quite moving in parts. The show programme tells […]

REVIEW: Memoirs of an Asian Football Casual (Curve Leicester) ★★★★
“Cos we’re Leicester. We’re all Leicester. Start the music.” As someone who can barely explain the off side rule, let alone what a ‘football casual’ is, I did wonder whether Memoirs of an Asian Football Casual might go slightly over my head. Nevertheless, the beauty of having ‘Made at Curve’ stamped on the front of […]
REVIEW: CAMELOT (London Palladium) ★★★★★
Enchanting. Passionate. Rousing. The London Musical Theatre Orchestra’s concert version of Camelot is all of these things and more. I can scarcely think of a better way to spend a cold autumn evening than listening to Lerner and Loewe’s moving score played by an orchestra and company as marvellous as this. Most famous for the […]
REVIEW: Northern Ballet: The Three Musketeers (Nottingham Theatre Royal) ★★★
Nothern Ballet’s production of The Three Musketeers pirouetted its way into Theatre Royal Nottingham last week. Watching The Three Musketeers felt a little bit like reading a novel that’s had every other page torn out, creating several plot holes and unexplained scenarios. I once read another reviewer’s comment that the plot “falls over itself”, and […]
BLOG: Chicago, Cupcakes and Cruising
I’m sure I’ve been here before, promising that from now on I will write a weekly blog of everything goes on in ‘Wilma World’ should any of you care to know what’s going on. But if I have said it before and failed at keeping it up, I apologise and will try harder. I’m still […]
REVIEW: Mrs Dalloway (Arcola Theatre) ★★★★
Virgina Woolf was one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century. Best known for Mrs Dalloway (1925) and Lighthouse (1927), her diary entries, essays, letters, biographies and novels are canonised for reflecting the rapidly changing world she lived in. Documenting transformations in technology, sexuality, class and gender roles, Woolf’s style of modernist literature, […]

After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, there are five survivors stranded on a single lifeboat – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, a sixteen year-old boy and a hungry Bengal tiger. Time is against them, nature is harsh, who will survive? Based on one of the most extraordinary […]
