Review: LOVE LIFE: WEST END UNITES AGAINST CANCER, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Abbie Grundy - Feb 3, 2026

On 1 February, some of the West End's most esteemed stars gathered for Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer - a concert performance raising money for One for the Boys. The charity aims to raise awareness surrounding male cancers, encouraging men to speak up when they notice a change in their bodies, or to ask for help when they need it. The hope is that together, we can break down stigmas surrounding masculinity, health and vulnerability - and save lives while doing so.

Review: SHUCKED, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 21, 2025

Dying crops, a community in distress, scandals, affairs, Shucked was hailed as the pinnacle of musical comedy when it premiered in 2022. With a book by Robert Horn (writer of Tootsie and the stage adaptation of Disney’s Hercules, to mention a few credits), plus music and lyrics by country songwriters Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, Jack O’Brien’s production lands in Regent’s Park for its UK premiere after a handful of wins and a Grammy nod too. The show might be an easy giggle, ready to charm with puns galore and a corny score, but it's shuckingly mid. Every inch is tropey and formulaic, with quips that are either the low-hanging cob or the most extravagant sexual innuendo, missing the sophistication of well-calibred humour altogether. It has plenty of moments of brilliance and the company is overwhelmingly excellent, but the material isn’t as dazzling.
