Review: RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE REMATCH, Dock X, London
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 25, 2023
There is a lot that works here; an obvious and careful attention to detail being one. The meticulous recreation of James Brown's stage catsuit, event posters and haircuts feels thoughtful. The three-day music festival that featured James Brown, Miriam Makeba and Celia Cruz showcases some brilliant music, with a high energy mix of afrobeat and American funk.

Review: BEAUTIFUL THING, Stratford East
by Cindy Marcolina - September 25, 2023
The show is generally delightful, but one can’t shake the feeling that there’s so much more to explore. Simpson-Pike crafts a beautiful revival that ends with an adorable moment that ties the community together, but the script seems to forget the main reason the two boys connected in the first place.

Review: LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall
by Franco Milazzo - September 23, 2023
What JRR Tolkien would have thought of Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers is anyone’s guess but one suspects that the Oxford don would rather have enjoyed the live concert treatment at the Royal Albert Hall.

Review: UNTITLED F*CK M*SS S**GON PLAY, Young Vic
by Cindy Marcolina - September 23, 2023
Directed by Roy Alexander Weise, the project is structurally disruptive but ultimately too meandering and overlong. A narrator (Rochelle Rose) lays the tropes bare with bitter observations. She amplifies the intentional faux pas, but the framework gets a bit stodgy by the second round of narrative repetition.

by Mica Blackwell - September 22, 2023
Loosely based on the article The Ivory Highway, Lynn Nottage’s (MJ The Musical) eye-opening drama first made its Off-Broadway premiere in 2018. Now setting its sights in London’s Kiln Theatre, her powerful message on the impact of corruption and greed still remains as urgent as it did five years ago.
