BWW Reviews: WAITING FOR STANLEY, Greenwich Theatre, October 13 2011
Gary Naylor sees a very funny, very clever tribute to the women of wartime London. ...
BWW Reviews: THE SOUND OF MUSIC, New Wimbledon Theatre, October 12 2011
Gary Naylor wouldn't put it up there with bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens, but it's one of his favourite musicals.
...

EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: FRESHER THE MUSICAL, C Venues, Aug 19 2011
After an award-winning debut run in 2010, Fresher the Musical returns to the Edinburgh Fringe, chest puffed and with a confident swagger, its flyer announcing a cast recording and the release of the amateur rights to perform it. And it has every right to be cocky - it's a highly entertaining romp th...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: SHOW CHOIR! THE MUSICAL, C Venues, Aug 19 2011
All smiles, wide eyes and key changes, the high school glee club is an all-too-familiar concept thanks to a certain hugely popular and equally irritating, inescapable television show. And so, One Academy Productions' ‘Show Choir! The Musical' doesn't have to work too hard to introduce itself. Even...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: FRISKY & MANNISH, POP CENTRE PLUS, Udderbelly's Pasture, Aug 19 2011
Despite enjoying a boosted profile thanks in part to a supposed copycat performer on last year's Britain's Got Talent, Frisky & Mannish are hard to describe succinctly. 'Pop songs with a twist' was the best I could manage outside the venue when a curious attendee asked, but this duo absolutely needs...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: WASTED LOVE, C Venues, Aug 20 2011
The setting of John and Gerry Kielty's Wasted Love - a group therapy session - immediately brings to my mind the 2009 Fringe production of Conor Mitchell's Have A Nice Life, my favourite of all the shows I've seen in my three years attending the Fringe. It seems an unfair comparison to make, given h...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: FLAWLESS: INTERGALACTIC DREAM, Pleasance Grand, Aug 20 2011
I attended Flawless' latest Fringe show with what I imagine were standard expectations: that I was about to see a production featuring dazzling, pin-sharp choreography performed by extremely talented young men. And talented they undoubtedly are, but this hour is stuffed with superfluous and unnecess...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: EXCESS BAGGAGE, theSpaces @ Surgeons Hall, August 18, 2011.
Jack and Kristy are about to board their flight to Las Vegas for their honeymoon but the story of how they met, their shotgun wedding, family feuds and the strange woman who sits next to them all make for some amusing viewing.
...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: THE PRODIGALS, Gilded Balloon Teviot, August 16, 2011.
The Prodigals is a cut down version of a full-scale musical but what is shown at the Gilded Balloon makes you want to see more. ...
EDINBURGH 2011: BWW Reviews: EVIL - THE MUSICAL, Gryphon @ Point, Aug 15 2011
Follow seven supervillains as they battle it out with their evil balls, to see who will gain world supremacy....
