BWW Review: ROSENBAUM'S RESCUE, Park Theatre
Rosenbaum's Rescue compelling drama concerns itself with big questions (like what is truth) as they apply to a fractured family today and the interpretation of traumatic events in the past.
UK Regional Theater Reviews
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from UK Regional.
BWW Review: STOP AND SEARCH, Arcola Theatre
Gabriel Gbadamosi's writing touches on many hot button topics for 2019, but it never quite finds the characters to lend credibility and, crucially, empathy, to his contemporary and important play.
BWW Review: MOTOWN THE MUSICAL, Bristol Hippodrome
Having the entire Motown back catalogue to work with must be a dream starting point for any jukebox musical.
BWW Review: THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, New Diorama Theatre
I confess to entering the theatre with a sense of foreboding.
BWW Review: SONGS FOR NOBODIES, Ambassadors Theatre
As a performer, Robinson excels in her vocal talent and is sure to deliver a glorious homage to many of the great voices that are sadly no longer with us.
BWW Review: AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, Union Theatre
Phil Willmott's updating of An Enemy of the People could hardly be more timely, but falls a little flat for want of some attention to detail.
BWW Review: ROCKY HORROR SHOW, Theatre Royal Brighton
Richard O'Brien's cult rock and roll musical Rocky Horror Show launches its 2019 World Tour with a festive stint at Brighton's Theatre Royal.
BWW Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL IN CONCERT, Lyceum Theatre
The performance itself is as a live concert rather than a fully costumed and set production, allowing actors to focus on the delivery of the score, bringing the music to life in a way that other productions cannot.
BWW Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Laban Theatre
To the beautifully appointed Laban Theatre on the banks of Deptford Creek (now a much sought after locale doncha know) for Trinity Laban's Christmas show, Thea Musgrave's A Christmas Carol.
BWW Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, King's Theatre, Edinburgh
Every so often, a show comes along that completely redefines how theatre should be done.
BWW Review: CINDERELLA: A FAIRYTALE, The Jack Studio Theatre
Sometimes the smallest of spaces can tell the biggest of stories and that's the case with this perfectly judged adaptation of the much-loved fairytale.
BWW Review: TIMON OF ATHENS, RSC Swan Theatre
Timon of Athens, at times a clunky collaboration and a clunkier mix of verse and prose, has much to say about how money corrupts and how spoiling adults is about as advisable as spoiling children.
BWW Review: SLEEPIN' CUTIE, Macrobert Arts Centre, Stirling
For kids of all ages - even mums and dads, who are just big kids at heart - this panto really does give something for all.
BWW Review: ALADDIN, King's Theatre, Glasgow
Under the direction of Nigel West, Glasgow's King's Theatre once again delivers a seriously entertaining pantomime.
BWW Review: CINDERELLA, Bristol Hippodrome
'Alright me babbers!' is the shrill cry from the Ugly Sisters at this year's panto offering from the Bristol Hippodrome.
BWW Review: THE JOHN WILSON ORCHESTRA: AT THE MOVIES, Brighton Dome
The dazzling orchestra are travelling around the UK with their new At the Movies concert tour, packed full of classic film scores.
BWW Review: THE BOX OF DELIGHTS, Wilton's Music Hall
Some spectacular special effects and a wonderful set are let down by a stodgy and confusing script.
BWW Review: THE BORROWERS, Tobacco Factory Theatres
This Christmas, instead of merely treading the boards at Tobacco Factory Theatres, the actors are treading in between the boards in a delightful adaptation of Mary Norton's The Borrowers, a story about a family of tiny people, no bigger than a crayon.
BWW Review: GUYS AND DOLLS, The Mill at Sonning
Guys and Dolls has come to the Mill at Sonning, and brought with it all the sleazy music, flashy dancing, and good, clean fun you could want in an evening.
BWW Review: PLAID TIDINGS, Bridge House Theatre
Plaid Tidings is a show full of grand old Christmas songs delivered beautifully by four gifted vocalists.
BWW Review: SWAN LAKE, Bristol Hippodrome
From folk tales to fairy tales to festive (nut)crackers, Tchaikovsky's trio of 19th-century compositions, originally choreographed by Petipa and Ivanov for the Imperial Russian company, are the crowning glory of the classical canon.
BWW Review: BUTTONS: A CINDERELLA STORY, King's Head Theatre
John Savournin and the Charles Court Opera gang are back with another panto packed with innovatory storytelling and great songs, wonderfully sung @KingsHeadThtr #ButtonsPanto @charlescourt.
BWW Review: AN HONOURABLE MAN, White Bear Theatre
An Honourable Man is bold in its ambition and gets a lot of details right, but its excellent first half gives way to a theatrically disappointing conclusion.
BWW Review: A HERO OF OUR TIME, Arcola Theatre
This action packed adaptation brings Lermontov's 1840 novel into the 21st century with wit and no little elan.
