The Queen musical is not entirely at ease with being brought into the social media age, but is nonetheless an evening of riotous good fun that is sure to delight audience members with even the most limited knowledge of the band's work. Read our critic's review.
If there's such a thing as the perfect recipe for a musical, then Waitress has surely found it. Like each of Jenna's delicious freshly-baked pies, the show achieves the ideal balance of sweet and sour.
