Review: DON QUIXOTE, Sadler's Wells
by Vikki Jane Vile - Apr 25, 2026

Carlos Acosta’s favourite ballet full of Spanish sun and slapstick humour is a very silly story. But with an audience who’ve braved tube strike misery Don Quixote (Don Q) is just the ticket for a bit of carefree escapism, transporting us to an exotic and colourful land and danced with great relish by a spirited Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB).

Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts brings the iconic TV detective to the stage in a new original mystery. 

Review: HENRY V, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 29, 2026

Henry V of England is one of those big roles for an actor. Alfie Enoch follows in the footsteps of Laurence Olivier and Tom Hiddleston as the king who led a battalion of tired and outnumbered soldiers to victory. Excellent performances may save it, but co-artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Tamara Harvey’s take on this history play is unfortunately bland and unfocused. It’s something we’ve seen too many times before.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Kansas City Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Mar 18, 2026

If Broadway’s Great Gatsby trades in spectacle, the first national North American Tour proves that its success on the road depends on something more grounded: a cast capable of sustaining the illusion night after night, city after city.  This performance is pretty much flawless top to bottom.
