Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO, Hampstead Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 10, 2026

Hampstead Theatre is not your typical destination for the UK premiere of a Tony-winning musical - but then Kimberly Akimbo is far from your typical musical. More interested in nuanced characters and complex feelings than tap numbers and top Cs, this deeply moving story of a teenage girl quite literally running out of time is refreshing and full of heart.

Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Leicester Curve
by Laura Lott - Nov 28, 2025

There are some stories that never grow old, and The Sound of Music is definitely one of them. Sixty years after the movie premiered, and sixty-six since the stage show first hit Broadway, this tale of love, family, the healing power of music, and resistance against persecution in 1930s Austria is as relevant and heartwarming as ever. Leicester Curve’s Christmas production, directed by Nikolai Foster, gives it a fresh new look while honouring the original and providing beautiful renditions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein songs we know and love.
