Review: MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, Peacock Theatre
If using the relaxing music of dinner party favourite Sting as the basis for a wild and inventive hip hop dance show isn’t an act of iconoclastic bravado, then what is?
Review: IOLANTHE, London Coliseum
If a revival is akin to colouring in someone else’s artwork, Cal McCrystal’s Iolanthe for the ENO does so with every shade under the sun.

Review: LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall
