REVIEW: AVENUE Q (Leicester Haymarket Theatre) ★★★★

The rip-roaring, toe-tapping, outrageously funny (or just outrageous) production of Avenue Q flew into Leicester Haymarket Theatre last week. First raising its curtain in 2003, Avenue Q is a musical comedy with a cast full of foul-mouthed puppets. Princeton, a grad fresh out of college with a diploma under one arm and a case full of […]

REVIEW: Lola’s Underground Casino (The Hippodrome Casino)

Lola’s Underground Casino is downstairs in a hide-away style speak easy bar inside The Hippodrome Casino in London’s Leicester Square.

REVIEW: Man of La Mancha (London Coliseum) ★★★★

Man of La Mancha, currently playing at the London Coliseum (until 8 June 2019), has not been staged in the West End since 1968. The source text has a long history ranging from televised plays to films over to different revivals of this musical on Broadway. Dale Wasserman sets the well-known story of the novel Don Quixote […]

REVIEW: Vincent River (Trafalgar Studios 2) ★★

Trafalgar Studios 2 is a fabulous theatre – a small 100 seat space that can be relied on for interesting, intimate and intriguing theatre. The venue does not have a stage in the truest sense but makes great use of the small floor space for performances. During a previous visit to see Le Grand Mort, […]
