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.
BWW Review: 42ND STREET 2017 London Cast Recording
Currently enjoying a West End revival at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, 42nd Street has also released a brand new cast recording.
BWW Review: ALADDIN, Royal and Derngate
For me, the best thing about panto is the stuff that's not in the script - we went every year when I was little and my favourite memory is of the year that Brian Blessed's trousers split when he was playing Captain Hook and he and Smee had an extended fit of giggles.
BWW Review: NUTCRACKER, London Coliseum
The beautiful story of Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker doll is as much a part of Christmas as carols and novelty jumpers.
BWW Review: ANTONY & CLEOPATRA, Barbican Theatre
When a production transfers, changes are inevitable.
BWW Review: JULIUS CAESAR, Barbican Theatre
A straight, gimmick-free production of Julius Caesar that may be as relevant today as at any time in the last 420 years.
BWW Review: LA BOHEME, Trafalgar Studios
Stripped back and startlingly intimate, Puccini's great tunes are given full value by wonderful voices and sensational acting in a production that raises boutique operas to a new level.
BWW Review: RACHEL TUCKER: ON THE ROAD
Rachel Tucker: On The Road is the second studio album by West End and Broadway star Rachel Tucker.
BWW Review: MISALLIANCE, Orange Tree Theatre
Of all of Bernard Shaw's wonderful plays, it seems a brave and slightly odd choice for the Orange Tree theatre to choose to revive Misalliance.
BWW Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall
Beauty and the Beast in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall enhanced a wonderful star-studded movie by having its beautiful score expertly played by the Philharmonia Orchestra.
BWW Review: GRIMLY HANDSOME, Royal Court
Chloe Lamford and Sam Pritchard have collaborated on a piece that perplexes and entices.
BWW Review: CALLISTO: A QUEER EPIC, Arcola Theatre
It's 1680 in London, Arabella Hunt (Marilyn Nadebe) is secretly married to Amy (Georgia Bruce) in what inadvertently becomes the first ever recorded gat marriage in England.
BWW Review: THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, Jermyn Street Theatre
The Hound of the Baskervilles is a delightful take on the classic Sherlock Holmes story that proves a comic stance on Holmes is sometimes better than a dramatic one.
BWW Review: CELL MATES, Hampstead Theatre
Offstage drama infamously hijacked the 1995 premiere of Simon Gray's play, with star Stephen Fry walking out mid-run - hastening the production's early closing.
BWW Review: PROJECT POLUNIN - SATORI, London Coliseum
Project Polunin is a mixed bag of dance and music, a showcase for the bad boy of ballet, Sergei Polunin, that succeeds intermittently.
BWW Review: ROBERT PLANT, Royal Albert Hall
In January 1970, Led Zeppelin played the Royal Albert Hall, widely lauded as one of their most famous gigs.
BWW Review: THE BOX OF DELIGHTS, Wilton's Music Hall
Victorian music hall Wilton's takes a trip back to the 1930s this Christmas, as it brings a new version of John Masefield's fantasy story The Box of Delights to the stage.
BWW Review: THE JUNGLE BOOK, Royal and Derngate
My first ever Christmas theatre experience was in the Royal Theatre in Northampton - back when they had a celebrity panto in the Derngate and a traditional panto in the Royal.
BWW Review: BARNUM, Menier Chocolate Factory
The Menier has a superb track record with breathing new life into classic musicals, but falls short with their latest revival: Cy Coleman's 1980 portrait of P.
BWW Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Tobacco Factory Theatres
Stepping into the Tobacco Factory Theatre this Christmas and you're immediately transported to an eerie forest in rural France for a re-telling of this classic French fairy tale.
BWW Review: THE WOMAN IN WHITE, Charing Cross Theatre
The Woman In White has its flaws, but Thom Southerland's production of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's 2004 show delivers plenty to fans of musical theatre.
BWW Review: THE MELTING POT, Finborough Theatre
It is chilling to think that The Melting Pot, a play that revolves around anti-Semitism in America and Europe, was first performed in 1908, decades before the atrocity of the Holocaust.
BWW Review: DEAR BRUTUS, Southwark Playhouse
In a quaint little 1917 English village, a weird old man invites eight strangers to say at his house.
BWW Review: SOUL HOLIDAY, Charing Cross Theatre
Marisha Wallace delivered a concert just like her new album, Soul Holiday: honest, jazzy, and vocally stunning.
