Review: GET HAPPY, Barbican Pit
by Alexander Cohen - December 11, 2023

by Debbie Gilpin - December 09, 2023

For one magical evening, however, Jamie Cullum managed to sweep that all aside and deliver a festive concert stuffed with pure joy.

Review: DICK WHITTINGTON, The Arts Centre Hounslow
by Kat Mokrynski - December 08, 2023
As someone who moved to the UK last year, I’m still getting used to the tradition of pantomimes but have fallen in love with their boundless energy and cheesy jokes.
