Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN! IN CONCERT, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Cindy Marcolina - August 06, 2024
In line with the trend of the moment, this is more than a concert and less than a full production. The set has been kept to a minimum, featuring only two heavy-looking wooden tables with chairs and banners with Tudor insignia, but there’s enough costumes and choreography to have a proper glimpse of what it might look like fully staged.

Review: MADWOMEN OF THE WEST, Riverside Studios
by Josh Maughan - August 06, 2024
Four acting icons. A mostly clever script. And enough gossip to last an entire theatre season. What more could you ask for from a summer’s evening at the theatre? Madwomen of the West transfers to Riverside Studios after seasons in New York and LA and, while a little clumsy at times, is a showcase of the immense talent of its cast.

Review: WORMHOLES, Omnibus Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - August 05, 2024
You simply can't take your eyes off Victoria Yeates (Call the Midwife, Fantastic Beasts, Ben and Imo, The Crucible), who's completely captivating in Emily Jupp's one-woman play, Wormholes, at bijou Omnibus Theatre on London's Clapham Common. Her portrayal of a bubbly young woman broken by a controlling partner in a coercive and abusive relationship is West End standard – but without the hassle of actually having to go into the West End.

Review: A CHORUS LINE, Sadler's Wells
by Cindy Marcolina - August 03, 2024
The show is in itself show-stopping. The cast of accomplished triple-threats swaps tense competition for a jubilant celebration of form. In a post-pandemic industry that’s suffered cuts to the arts across all areas, it’s disheartening to see an artist’s quality of life hasn’t exactly progressed much. But, gosh, they make it look so beautiful.
