Review: PHANTOM PEAK: THE PLATYPUS PARADE, London
Can the best get better? In my 2022 year-end roundup, I ranked Phantom Peak as my favourite immersive show of 2022, ahead of bigger shows like Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City and TV show-based drama Peaky Blinders: The Rise.
Review: AKHNATEN, London Coliseum
Who’s up for a three-hour long opera about the relatively unknown pharaoh Akhnaten? With the singing in Egyptian, Hebrew and Akkadian? With no surtitles? Based on the music of minimalist composer Phillip Glass? And with an entire troupe of jugglers? Us, that's who.

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY (UK TOUR), New Wimbledon Theatre
If John Steinbeck had been asked to create a musical, it may have looked something like this.
Review: PUNCHDRUNK'S THE BURNT CITY: THE VIP EXPERIENCE
Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City is undoubtably one of the biggest and most impressive shows in London, if only by sheer physical scale.
Review: COPPELIA, Sadler's Wells
When Coppelius asks Swanhilda “do you derive more pleasure from running your finger along your lover’s skin or across the glass surface of your phone?”, Coppélia holds a brutal mirror up to modern society in a way no ballet has for quite some time.

Review: DANCE ME - MUSIC BY LEONARD COHEN, Sadler's Wells
That Leonard Cohen, one of the greatest modern troubadours, inspired such a disconnected dance show is possibly a testament to just how elusive his songs are.
Review: PEEPING TOM: TRIPTYCH, Barbican Theatre
Belgian dance company Peeping Tom verily put the 'trip' into Triptych, a brilliantly bizarre neo-noir dance trilogy full of deliciously dark delights.
Review: THE BARBER OF SEVILLE, Royal Opera House
Whether you see this because of the scintillating score or because a night at the opera is now cheaper than heating your home, The Barber Of Seville is sure to warm the cockles of your heart.
