BWW Review: AN HONOURABLE MAN, White Bear Theatre

BWW Review: SIX, Nuffield Southampton Theatres
We are all familiar with the tale of the six wives of Henry VIII. Or at least, their endings - divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived. But what about the women behind the rhyme?...

BWW Review: SEXY LAUNDRY, Tabard Theatre
Sexy Laundry looks at middle class hopes and fears in a two handed comedy that must have felt a little old-fashioned when first staged in Canada in 2002....
BWW Review: FAME, Theatre Royal Brighton
"You want fame? Well fame costs. And right here is where you start paying in sweat."

BWW Review: JERSEY BOYS, Bristol Hippodrome
Jukebox musicals are tricky things to get right. Especially if the artist concerned hasn't had a particularly eventful career. Thankfully, The Four Seasons at the centre of Jersey Boys have a veritable collection of criminal records, mafia connections and a whole heap of unrefined talent....

The Animals and Children Took To The Streets twists together retro imagery and animation with cabaret and mime for some elegantly sinister storytelling....

BWW Review: LA CENERENTOLA, Bristol Hippodrome
The music is magical, with all its coloratura, patter, and character from the principals, male chorus, and orchestra magnificently managed by Tomaš Hanus, but there's still some magic amiss in this staging from Welsh National Opera....
BWW Review: THE THREE MUSKETEERS, Lyceum, Sheffield
Northern Ballet's take on the Three Musketeers is beautiful to watch, with a fantastic score and some delightful fight scenes....
BWW Review: MANON, Milton Keynes Theatre
This revival of Kenneth MacMillan's Manon is a visual and aural delight that should melt the heart of even the most reluctant ballet sceptic....
BWW Review: THE WILD DUCK, Almeida Theatre
Robert Icke's updating of The Wild Duck gains in contemporary relevance, but loses a little of its heart en route....
BWW Review: BEAUTIFUL THING, Tobacco Factory Theatres
Premiering at London's Bush Theatre in 1993, and inspiring a film adaptation three years later that became a cult classic, Jonathan Harvey's Beautiful Thing is currently playing at Bristol's Tobacco Factory Theatres.
