BWW Review: FROST/NIXON, Crucible, Sheffield
A timely revival of Peter Morgan's play about David Frost's interviews with Richard Nixon is beautifully staged and powerfully acted....
BWW Review: A PRINCESS UNDONE, Park Theatre
Princess Margaret brought to life by Felicity Dean in a production that promises more than it delivers about a tragic figure born a generation too early to change the Royal Family....
BWW Review: THE TEMPEST, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
Ambition not quite matched by execution in an all-female production of The Tempest, one of fringe theatre's more challenging plays to get right....
BWW Review: CARMEN 1808, Union Theatre
Liberties have been taken with Bizet's opera, but none are diabolical, and what emerges is something which is sometimes less and sometimes more than its inspiration....
BWW ALBUM REVIEW: Andrew Lloyd Webber's 70'th Birthday Is To Be Celebrated With The Release of ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER: UNMASKED: THE PLATINUM COLLECTION
BroadwayWorld Sydney was given an exclusive taste of ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER: UNMASKED: THE PLATINUM COLLECTION ahead of it's release on 16th March 2018 through Universal Music. ...
BWW Review: THE UNGRATEFUL BIPED, White Bear Theatre
Just when the grimness is becoming tiresome, Philip Goodhew's script is transformed by an injection of darkest comedy without ever losing its focus as a searing indictment of modern life....
BWW Review: THINGS I KNOW TO BE TRUE, Bristol Old Vic
Families are tricky things. They have the capacity to love and frustrate us like no one else. It is little wonder they provide such a rich vein for dramatists. In Andrew Bovell's Things I Know To Be True we're with the Price family who have four grown up children, all at different stages of flying t...
BWW Review: CYRIL'S SUCCESS, Finborough Theatre
A little dated for sure, but with enough Ayckbourn (and even a touch of Fawlty Towers) to appeal to 21st century audiences, this is a pleasing, if unchallenging, evening's entertainment....
BWW Review: A PASSAGE TO INDIA, Bristol Old Vic

BWW Review: MISS SAIGON, Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
The original production of Miss Saigon ran for more than ten years at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane throughout the 1990s, and a revised version - billed as the 25th Anniversary production - opened at the Prince Edward Theatre in 2014. Following its closure in May 2016, it's this version which ha...
BWW Review: SACHA GUITRY - MA FILLE ET MOI, Drayton Arms Theatre
Though Sacha Guitry is largely unknown in the UK, this production weaves five extracts of his plays into a single narrative and shows that the tag of 'The French Noel Coward' was not undeserved....
BWW Review: AUSTEN THE MUSICAL, Mirth, Marvel and Maud Theatre
One for fans of Jane Austen and for anyone who likes to see an intelligent production performed with technical skill and rewarding wit....
BWW Review: FEAR AND MISERY OF THE THIRD REICH, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
A fine production that grapples with the play's tricky structure to bring home Brecht's political points with a relevance for today that can hardly be missed....
BWW Review: SHREK THE MUSICAL, Manchester Palace Theatre
Shrek The Musical tells the tale of an ogre trying to get his swamp back. And David Lindsay-Abaire's adaptation has certainly managed to turn the famous Dreamworks animation into a real life spectacle....
BWW Review: HEARTBREAK HOUSE, Union Theatre
George Bernard Shaw's Chekhovian black comedy has plenty of political heft, but lacks the dramatic clarity required to engage from first to last....
BWW Review: EUGENE ONEGIN, Arcola Theatre
OperaUpClose condense and update Tchaikovsky's classic tragedy for a new space and a new culture, but never lose sight of its deep set Russian roots....

BWW Review: ALADDIN, Bristol Hippodrome
As the sole pantomime in Bristol, Aladdin (from pantomime giants Qdos Entertainment) has a lot resting on its shoulders for families this festive season. For some, Christmas at the theatre means panto and they're unlikely to feel short changed by this big budget offering....
BWW Review: DICK WHITTINGTON, Manchester Opera House
Traditionally, Dick Whittington tells the tale of a man who travels to London to find his fortune. And with infamous showman John Barrowman playing the staring role, Dick Whittington, and a charming Seventies duo, The Krankies, this production has the foundations to be a fantastic show. But despite ...
BWW Review: THE TWILIGHT ZONE, Almeida Theatre
The Twilight Zone takes us into the world of early 60s cult science fiction TV in a bold and innovative adaptation that never quite transcends its structural weaknesses....
