Review: ANYTHING GOES, Kilworth House Theatre
There's a cruise ship in the grounds of Kilworth House this summer.
Review: THE BATTLE, Birmingham Rep
Before Taylor Swift versus Charli XCX - but after The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones - came Blur versus Oasis.
Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Leicester Curve
There are some stories that never grow old, and The Sound of Music is definitely one of them.
Review: THE NUTCRACKER, Birmingham Hippodrome
Falling snow, a rapidly-growing Christmas tree and an army of sword-fighting rats: it can only be Sir Peter Wright's The Nutcracker.
Review: THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, Birmingham Rep
Talented by name, talented by nature: Ed McVey is a perfectly cast Mr Ripley, deftly juggling paranoia, wild optimism, self-pity and bouts of violence, while never losing either his sense of humour or the audience's tolerance.
Review: GREASE, Kilworth House Theatre
There's something inherently magical about outdoor theatre, especially when the theatre is in such beautiful surroundings as Kilworth House's.
Review: MARY POPPINS, Birmingham Hippodrome
What did our critic think of MARY POPPINS at Birmingham Hippodrome?
Review: CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, Birmingham Hippodrome
The current UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has several well-known names attached to it - Ore Oduba, Liam Fox and Charlie Brooks all feature - but there's no denying that the star of the show is the car itself.
Review: BECOMING NANCY, Birmingham Rep
Cheese and pineapple on a stick, anyone? The latest musical from Birmingham Rep takes us back to 1970s Britain, where trousers were flared, birthday parties required Iced Gems, and boys definitely didn't play girls in school musicals without everyone having something to say about it.
Review: ALADDIN, Birmingham Hippodrome
If you're looking for sparkles, then Aladdin has you covered.
Review: HAMILTON, Birmingham Hippodrome
It's a testament to Lin-Manuel Miranda's almost perfect show that even with some performance issues, Hamilton is still a stunning and moving experience.
Review: SILENCE, Birmingham Rep
“Old friends in the morning, then wanting us dead in the afternoon”, says one of the men in Silence, repeating the line over and over.
Review: DIVERSITY: SUPERNOVA, De Montfort Hall, Leicester
It's hard to imagine what more an audience could possibly want from a dance show than what Diversity provide in their current tour Supernova.
Review: THE PROMISE, Birmingham Rep
New play The Promise, which has its world premiere at Birmingham Rep this week, looks at the intersectionality of dementia and deafness through the experiences of one family, and highlights the urgent need for more understanding and care options.
Review: THE GOOD ENOUGH MUMS CLUB, Birmingham Hippodrome
Society places a huge amount of pressure on mothers to be perfect, so it's a joy to see this new musical that reassures mums that their best is good enough.
Review: THE BOOK THIEF, Leicester Curve
With a charming libretto by Jodi Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald, and folk-style music and lyrics by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson, The Book Thief is filled with the warmth of a young girl's friendships and discoveries.
Book Review: BREAKING DOWN YOUR SCRIPT by Laura Wayth
The moment when you're presented with a whole new script can feel a little overwhelming for an actor, but Breaking Down Your Script: A Step-by-Step Guide for the Actor is here to help.
Review: THE LION KING, Birmingham Hippodrome
The Lion King isn't an easy show to take on tour, but you needn't worry that this is a pared down version.
Review: THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL, Birmingham Hippodrome
The theme song to Nickelodeon's super-popular animated series SpongeBob SquarePants encourages you to tune in 'if nautical nonsense be something you wish', and nautical nonsense is definitely what's on offer in this madcap but good-natured musical.
Review: OF MICE AND MEN, Birmingham Rep
John Steinbeck's 1937 novel, set in California during the Great Depression, may be a period piece, but the parallels with current life in the UK are unmistakable.
