Review: LIVE AT LOLA'S: A MUSICAL CHAT SHOW WITH STARS OF THE WEST END, Lola's Underground Casino at The Hippodrome
by Cindy Marcolina - December 09, 2022
It's a clever, engaging format. Resembling more to a daytime talk show than a traditional cabaret, the audience joins in in the scripted malarkey while the guests discuss anything from dream roles to nervous poos. It truly is a chance to get up close and personal with the stars to discover personalities as big as their voices while they perform songs that have meaning in their lives and careers.

Review: GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS, Richmond Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - December 08, 2022
Let me start this review with a confession - I’m an American who had never seen a panto before last night, and I had no idea what to expect from Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I was aware of the tradition of the pantomime, but did not know the extent to how beloved it was in the UK. So it was with joy that I reviewed Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Review: HOLY SH*T, Riverside Studios
by Cindy Marcolina - December 08, 2022
All in all, the piece is promising at this stage, but it could be so much more. The idea is clever, the dynamic is intriguing, it just needs a rewrite or two.
