by Guest Author - Jun 11, 2025
Someone once told me writing a musical with an original story would be like climbing Everest. This turned out to be not entirely true. A mountaineer at least knows Everest is there to be climbed.

You have to have a really good reason for abandoning the reassurance of a pre-existing story.
Review: THIS IS MY FAMILY, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
by Mica Blackwell - May 29, 2025
Like Tim Firth’s other works, This Is My Family makes the ordinary extraordinary while carrying a raw truthfulness. It may not one hundred percent work as a musical in my opinion, but it’s still a funny, relatable yet bittersweet show with a stellar cast.

by Oliver Oliveros - Aug 30, 2023
Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, the wife of Alexander, 'who lived, died, and told their story,' 50 years after the death of her husband, closes the show, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 'Hamilton,' with hands clasped on her chest, and an ambiguous gasp. Ask any actress who played Eliza what the hard breathing was; each one would give a vague answer because it was a different moment every time for each one.
