Review: DARK OF THE MOON, Charing Cross Theatre
by Clementine Scott - May 26, 2026
The history of musical theatre was almost very different. In 1943, a ‘play with music’ called Dark of the Moon narrowly missed out on being selected for out-of-town tryouts in Connecticut, in favour of the genre-defining classic Oklahoma!. Now, after being reworked into a musical that premiered in California in 2023, Dark of the Moon arrives in London for the first time.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that bisexuals are often underserved when it comes to theatre and media. Poltergeist thriller Ivories valiantly sweeps in at the close of Pride Month, but it over-promises and under-delivers.

After all, an eerie old house, a dying grandmother, and a bunch of secrets bound for the grave are the bones of any good spooky summer horror.

Review: THE FROGS, Southwark Playhouse
by Clementine Scott - May 28, 2025
