Review: NERO, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
On paper, Nero has all the makings of a genuinely exciting new musical.
Review: JE L'AIME, London
Liv and Vic have just got the keys and are throwing a housewarming.
Review: THE TIGER LILLIES: SONGS FOR THE DEAD, Soho Theatre Walthamstow
The goths, the punks, the Torture Garden bohos, the Weill bores, the burlesquers, the Day of the Dead day-trippers, the necro-obsessed and a cabaret critic who swears regularly and profusely that he is done with critiquing cabaret — they all adore The Tiger Lillies.
Review: KARINA CANELLAKIS CONDUCTS BEETHOVEN, Royal Festival Hall
American Karina Canellakis, the London Philharmonic Orchestra's principal guest conductor, delivers an exhilarating evening at the Royal Festival Hall with her assured handling of Elgar's Violin Concerto in B minor, UK premiere of Dai Fujikura's Radiance and Beethoven's Symphony No.
Review: MADAM, Royal Ballet & Opera
When you have Monica Mason, Antoinette Sibley and Anya Sainsbury all saying how much they revered and respected a person, it's 99.
Review: SPECULATIONS, Marylebone Theatre
The setup for Torben Betts’s new political thriller is an unlikely one: a successful New York journalist in the 1960s hires a new nanny, then proceeds to draw her into a dangerous investigative reporting project, before ultimately ending up in an effective hostage situation.
Review: THE BRIDGE, Bush Theatre
The Bridge is undoubtedly the call to action our landscape needs, and a powerful and assured one at that.
Review Roundup: THE LIVES OF OTHERS at the Adelphi Theatre
Starring Keira Knightly, Stephen Dillane and Luke Thompson, Robert Icke's adaptation of Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s Oscar-winning film The Lives of Others comes to the West End until 9 January 2027.
Review: MAESTRO OF THE MOVIES, Royal Albert Hall
The words 'genius' and 'iconic' are overused these days, but for certain people, there are no more appropriate accolades.
Review: TOSCA, London Coliseum
Bloodless, metaphorically and literally, production is lost in too many contradictions
Review: CEILIDH, Shoreditch Town Hall
The original meaning of the word ‘cèilidh’ is ‘companion’, and the event itself has developed into one of the most recognisable kinds of Scottish gatherings with its traditional music and dance.
Review: MATILDA IN CONCERT, Starring Danny DeVito
The Royal Albert Hall has built a world-class reputation for its Films in Concert series and sometimes delights audiences with guest appearances.
Review: CARMEN, Royal Ballet & Opera
Third time is rarely the charm for a Carmen at Covent Garden.
Review: SWAN LAKE, Sadler's Wells
Sir Peter Wright and Galina Samsova’s Swan Lake opens with the striking and sombre image of a funeral procession.
Review: MAKEBETH, Shakespeare's Globe
There is something rather wonderful about watching Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy being brought to life with cardboard, audience inventions and a generous helping of imagination.
Review: THE LIVES OF OTHERS, Starring Keira Knightly, Stephen Dillane & Luke Thompson
East Berlin in 1984 was not a comfortable place to live.
Review: MIDDLEMARCH PARTS 1 & 2, Swan Theatre
First published as a series of eight individual instalments between December 1871 and December 1872, George Eliot’s seminal work Middlemarch (subtitled A Study of Provincial Life) has now been adapted into a two-part stage play by Nina Raine - its debut production at the RSC’s Swan Theatre is di
Review: THE SEA, Starring Jennifer Saunders
In imperious Ab Fab Eddie mode, Jennifer Saunders spiritedly dives into Edward Bond's entertaining but somewhat baffling comedy The Sea at Theatre Royal Bath.
Interview: 'I Can Only Write From My Experiences': Mohit Mathur on ARE YOU EVEN INDIAN? At Riverside Studios
Writer/actor/dancer Mohit Mathur talks to BroadwayWorld about his upcoming dance drama about love and clashing cultures.
Review: EVEREST: THE FIRST ASCENT, Eclipso London
Going to Camden to get high was a teenage rite of passage a generation ago.
Review: EUCHARIST, Riverside Studios
Eucharist will have you begging for a multiple season TV show development that you can rewatch until your eyes run dry.
Review: MEMORIAM, Southwark Playhouse, Borough
It has a premise that borders on sci-fi, but at its heart Memoriam is a family drama.
Review: GARRY STARR: CLASSIC PENGUINS, The Other Palace
Not all heroes wear capes.
Review: ROLEPLAY, Soho Theatre
How can you be true to yourself when feminism is a commodity, your brand is everything, and sex is only the means to an end? Regrettably, Reilly doesn’t add much to the conversation.
