BWW Review: THE WOMAN IN BLACK, Nuffield Southampton Theatres
There are possibly no four words more chilling to the avid theatre-goer than The Woman in Black.

BWW Review: MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY, The O2
ABBA mania shows no signs of abating.
BWW Review: AGRIPPINA, Royal Opera House
Despite a distracting set, the music and singing triumph on an evening that reminds us that you can be too clever by half when you seek to be kingmaker.
BWW Review: BIANCA DEL RIO: IT'S JESTER JOKE, Wembley Arena
Accurately reviewing Bianca del Rio's It's Jester Joke tour is perhaps one of the most challenging reports I've ever had to write.
BWW Review: ALED JONES AND RUSSELL WATSON, London Palladium
Aled Jones and Russell Watson's UK tour stopped in at the London Palladium, where the duo played to a packed house in an evening of song and story that delighted their eager fans.
BWW Review: AKRAM KHAN'S GISELLE, Sadler's Wells
Akram Khan's Giselle is only three years old, but it already has a weighty reputation, as a powerful contemporary reworking of a classic, done with the choreographer's impressive sense of intensity and drama.
BWW Review: STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall
As the nights draw in, taking us closer to December and the final instalment of the Skywalker story arc, it's time once again for the Empire and the Rebel Alliance to come face-to-face at the Royal Albert Hall for another of the Film in Concert series.
BWW Review: THE PERMANENT WAY, The Vaults
David Hare's play may look like it's set in an increasingly distant past, concerning itself with old arguments, but its brutal message is as important today as ever.
BWW Review: BLACK CHIFFON, Park Theatre
Within the first 20 minutes of Lesley Storm's Black Ciffon, Alicia asks a?oeIs there enough gin?a?? Finally, I thought, a character I could get behind.
BWW Review: REASONS TO STAY ALIVE, Crucible Studio, Sheffield
Starkly beautiful scenery and strong performances drive this Sheffield Theatres and English Touring Theatre adaptation of Matt Haig's popular memoir.
BWW Review: THE LIFE I LEAD, Wyndham's Theatre
Miles Jupp thrives in this thoughtful and funny look at the life, times and career of British actor David Tomlinson, who died in 2000 aged 83 and was most famous for playing Mr Banks in the 1964 classic Mary Poppins.
BWW Review: CONSPIRACY, New Diorama Theatre
Conspiracy sees our three intrepid investigators set off to prove that one photograph holds the key to just about every conspiracy theory you ever heard!
BWW Review: TWO TRAINS RUNNING, Nuffield Southampton Theatres
It's Pittsburg, 1969, and the city's Hill District is far from the vibrant, bustling, jazz-soaked African-American neighbourhood it was in its prime.
BWW Review: FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY, National Theatre
Faith, Hope and Charity is a 21st century Boys from the Blackstuff, a searing indictment of austerity as seen through the eyes of decent people who want to be kind and need to be loved.
BWW Review: WERTHER, Royal Opera House
Fashions in love (and lovers) swing as wildly as hemlines between the centuries.
BWW Review: BIG THE MUSICAL, Dominion Theatre
BIG the Musical first premiered on Broadway in 1996 and closed after just six months.

Caissie Levy made her triumphant return across the Atlantic on Sunday night, marking her first UK performance since 2013.

The BBC Proms closed another year with literal bangs, as the Last Night of the Proms played out at Proms in the Park in a blaze of fireworks, alongside the more traditional classical performances over at the Royal Albert Hall.
BWW Review: A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, Richmond Theatre
After the broad success of his year-long Oscar Wilde Season, Classic Spring's Dominic Dromgoole has brought the first play in that series, A Woman Of No Importance, on a national tour that kicks off Richmond Theatre's new season this week.
BWW Review: LAST NIGHT OF THE PROMS, Royal Albert Hall
The Last Night of the Proms is the culmination of the world's biggest musical festival.
BWW Review: REMEMBER, The Cockpit
Directed by Lawrence O'Connor, Remember takes us on two very different journeys through grief.
BWW Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF), Bristol Old Vic
It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that if you produce Jane Austen, especially in the South-West, then it is to be as authentic, as earnest and as close to traditional BBC magnificence as possible.
BWW Review: FAME, Peacock Theatre
Billed as the 'definitive 30th anniversary tour', Nick Winston's production of Fame - now playing at the Peacock Theatre - is celebrating the stage adaptation of the 1980 film.
