Recently, we had the chance to chat with Jinkx Monsoon about her return to Oh, Mary!. We discussed what first made her want to be a part of the play on Broadway, what it has been like returning to the same role in a different country and even what she thinks has made Oh, Mary! so successful on both sides of the pond.

Review Roundup: Did Critics Adore HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES?
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Aug 12, 2026

Alan Ayckbourn’s brilliantly crafted masterpiece juggles time and space to present the lives and loves, passion and panic of three married couples. The action takes place at two dinner parties given on different nights, with situations that lead to a string of misunderstandings and almost farcical events with hilarious consequences. A single set represents two living-dining rooms at once. The play tackles contemporary issues of sex and class in English society… creating true comedy we all can relate to. What did the critics think?

Review: HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES, Starring Roger Allam, The Old Vic
by Alexander Cohen - Aug 12, 2026

Flick through any newspaper and at least once a week a columnist will lament the trials and tribulations of modern relationships: ghosting, situationships, adultery, all exacerbated by a drove of dating apps. First performed over fifty years ago, Alan Ayckbourn's bedroom farce bears a striking resemblance to the same complaints, minus the technological garlanding.

Review: OC's Segerstrom Center Welcomes HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD
by Michael Quintos - Jul 22, 2026

In the fantastical, visually-enchanting stage play HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD—the theatrical continuation of J.K. Rowling's beloved magical saga—the idea of revisiting the past is embraced as its central theme, which in turn shifts the focus away from the mischievous school adventures that made the original franchise a global phenomenon, but, instead, explores the far messier realities of adulthood, parenthood, regret, generational trauma, and the very concept of leaving behind a proud legacy. The resulting stage show is a marvel of theatrical magic, mesmerizing in spectacle and movement, and filled with fantastical elements that will have audiences spellbound—even if the play 'borrows' its machinations from Back to the Future Part II.

Review: SPRINGWOOD, Hampstead Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jun 29, 2026

At one point, in June 1939, the UK-US ‘Special Relationship’ was defined by the King eating hotdogs on the president’s lawn. King George VI and the future Queen Mother may not have persuaded President Franklin D. Roosevelt to promise Britain his allegiance in the forthcoming war in Europe, but their state visit – the first for a British monarch in the US – provided a model of transatlantic friendship to be mimicked for decades to come.

Review: PRIDE, National Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Jun 27, 2026

In a Britain more divided than ever, this message of solidarity couldn’t have come at a better time. Pride feels on the brink of being the next big thing – and how glorious that the next big British musical is so proudly and fiercely queer and working class.
