by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 29, 2026

For musical fans, it's been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over. Beetlejuice: The Musical has crossed the pond and landed in London. It's loud, brash, and certainly won't please Tim Burton purists.

Review: BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FOOL, Southwark Playhouse Borough
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Jan 25, 2026

There is something that remains so alluring about the chaotic and ultimately tragic lives of F Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. The booze, the breakdowns, not to mention the immense talent. Michael Greif's new musical, Beautiful Little Fool, tells their tempestuous story from the perspective of their adult daughter, Scottie. An intriguing concept, but the show fails to get beyond something shallow and unsatisfying.
