Finally, prog gets its Prom. The BBC's heart is unarguably in the right place in handing the genre's back catalogue to their Concert Orchestra, in tribute to a 'pioneering, British-driven movement' rendered, as the billing has it, 'on an orchestral scale'. And yet the result falls a fair way short of the ambition.

Die charmanten Interpretationen der Beatles-Hits, allen voran „I Want to Hold Your Hand“, sorgten für beste Stimmung, und besonders die Running Gags rund um den Piloten Jean-Pierre brachten das Publikum immer wieder zum Lachen. Meine persönliche Favoritin war einmal mehr Miriam Distelkamp, ohne dass die starken Leistungen ihrer beiden Kolleginnen dadurch in den Schatten gestellt wurden. Lediglich der teilweise etwas altmodische Klischeehumor rund um die französische Sprache hätte für meinen Geschmack moderner ausfallen dürfen. Insgesamt aber ein sehr unterhaltsamer Theaterabend, den ich Beatles-Fans und Freunden des Boulevardtheaters gleichermaßen empfehlen kann.

Richard Strauss's opera within an opera, Ariadne aux Naxos, is a curious beast: a hybrid of spoken word and singing, a mix of musical influences and themes which ask whether high art can ever mix with popular entertainment. Two rival musical companies – a burlesque group and a serious opera company – must give their performances simultaneously at the request of the richest man in Vienna.

The selection of Frozen as the summer musical served multiple masters. Thematically, it fit within Encore’s 2025-2026 season’s theme of “Finding Yourself,” as the story of Queen Elsa discovering how to better control her powers also serves as a metaphor for self-love, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. Frozen also, let’s be honest, has always been a crowd-pleaser. It has a near universal appeal for various attendees who’d be interested in seeing a production at Dr. Phillips Center. Musical Theatre Acolytes. Disney Adults. Families looking for kid-friendly entertainment.

What did our critic think of B*TCH EAT DOG at District Fringe?

In 'Dances to American Music' at the Joyce Theatre, Morris pays tribute to regional American music.

The Royal Ballet School annual Royal Opera House matinee is a big deal, but perhaps this year more than ever. 2026 marks the centenary of the school, and considering this when watching the performance amplifies what we see on the stage even more than usual.

You will leave with many questions about how we deal with our past and how we can move forward socially while personally constrained.

Thanks to a serious discussion wrought by the end, the play avoids being a mere entertainment. The characters are not merely competing, ruthlessly but wittily too, for whatever prizes journalism may have to offer, but are visibly debasing their souls to win those prizes, and with their souls, part of what made the American soul. It may be entertaining to watch, but it’s uncomfortable entertainment, more jeremiad than amusement.
