Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?
There's no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of Cats. What began as a musical about cats after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems in an airport bookshop has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway's history. Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Cats features 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless melodies, including the hit song 'Memory.' What did the critics think of Drew McOnie's new production?

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: OMAR BADAWY: GUIDED DETOUR, Pleasance Courtyard
Omar Badawy's debut hour may feel a little unrefined, but it is clear that the comedian has all the tools he needs to become one of the greats.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: CELYA AB: WE MUST STOP MEETING LIKE THIS, Monkey Barrel
We Must Stop Meeting Like This might not be Celya AB’s finest hour, but it’s certainly one of the most unique shows you’ll catch at this year's Fringe.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: SLAYERS, Assembly
'He takes hold of my wrist. His thumb is on the vein. I don’t pull away. Then I do, I pull away.' Liane is a single mother, a survivor of abuse, now trying desperately to shield her ten-year-old daughter from the world’s dangers. As her daughter suffers bullying, Liane has a real-world encounter with the Manosphere that stokes her rage. Mother and daughter take up boxing. They develop a taste for violence. They plot their revenge… How can we arm our daughters against the world? And what happens when our anger makes us go too far?
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: FORGET ABOUT ME, Pleasance
In a remote, north-east village, something lurks in the bathroom: something Dylan struggles to remember, which even his dad's deadly DIY skills can't fix... Designer-performer Dylan Howells weaves psychological illusions and fragmented memories into a magical, chilling tale of a home that won't stay still. Part magic show, part ghost story, this isn't your typical conjuring act: mind-bending mentalism and spine-tingling effects blur the line between reality and fiction. A twisted tale that gets under your skin, lingering long after the lights come up.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: AYO ADENEKAN: HOMELAND INSECURITY, Monkey Barrel
Ayo Adenekan certainly has room for improvement, but with his second hour of comedy, he shows why he is already making waves.
Review: BBC PROMS: CHINKEKE! ORCHESTRA WITH ANGEL BLUE, Royal Albert Hall
Having only been established in 2015, it's important to remember the impact of the Chineke! Orchestra on classical music. Not only championing Black and ethnically diverse musicians, it also celebrates composers of Black and ethinically diverse heritage, giving deserved praise to often overlooked talent.
Review: YOU'VE STILL GOT A FRIEND at Theatre By The Sea

Review: PRETTY WOMAN at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Amy Marie McCleary serves the production well in her dual role as director and choreographer. I recently reviewed the national tour of Pretty Woman, and I strongly preferred the pace, energy, and sets of the Dutch Apple production.
Review: The Rise and Fall of “Jesusmania” in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s fully sung-through rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar finally arrives in Singapore, feeling more like a rock concert than ever.
Photos: Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour
We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name. The show was eye-catching and inspiring, and one of my favorite things is the theatricality. She seamlessly integrates intricate choreography, breathtaking aerial acts, and stunning costumes, all of which she designs herself. She blends music, dance, and visual artistry into a singular, unforgettable experience, making you truly spellbound and inspired. She has sold over 1M tickets throughout her career, doing things her way and experimenting with different ideas along the way! Full Article coming soon! These are photos from that tour!
Review: I LOVE YOU BECAUSE at Oil Lamp Theater
I Love You Because is your typical rom-com with cute duets, silly jokes, and flawed characters that showcase exactly how love can be messy.
Review: LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES at Company Theatre At THE ROSE CENTRE, BELMONT

Review: ROCK OF AGES at San Diego Musical Theatre
San Diego Musical Theatre’s 'Rock of Ages' is a delightfully ridiculous blast of ’80s hair-band camp filled with talented performers, big vocals, energetic choreography, a live band, and enough rock ’n’ roll to make the audience feel like they have accidentally wandered onto the Sunset Strip in 1987.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: FLOP! THE BEST SONGS FROM THE WORST MUSICALS, Gilded Balloon
Arthur Hull returns with an updated version of his blockbusting musical cabaret celebrating Theatreland's casualties. This love letter to Broadway and the West End features a motley assortment of the misunderstood, critically panned and financially catastrophic musical misfires, including forgotten gems and pleas for redemption!
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ROOM 1219, TheSpace @ Surgeons' Hall
The downfall of 'Fatty' Arbuckle remains just as interesting as ever, even if Room 1219 feels a little biased in its approach.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TOM BALLARD: BE FUNNY CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE), Monkey Barrel
Last year Tom Ballard was cancelled after a routine about the outlawing of the seig heil in Victoria and Elon Musk’s bizarre choice of gesture at Trump’s inauguration was recorded by an audience member who then wrote about it in the media.
