Review: FOX-LIGHT, The Hope Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - August 06, 2022
It’s unfortunate how numb and aimless this piece is. Described as a “tar-black dramedy”, it sadly lacks humour and the quality of the narrative is the only tragedy in it. It’s a first play and definitely not a death sentence, so onwards and upwards.

Review: SOUTH PACIFIC, Sadler's Wells
by Debbie Gilpin - August 05, 2022
The show is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Tales of the South Pacific and made its Broadway debut in 1949; it is surprisingly progressive, despite its age, making it a relatively unproblematic revival. It also helps that it contains some of musical theatre’s most recognisable songs, including “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair”, “Some Enchanted Evening”, and “There Is Nothing Like a Dame”.

Review: TURN AROUND AND TAKE A BOW: MY MUSICAL LIFE by Mike Dixon
by Abbie Grundy - August 04, 2022
Mike Dixon is undoubtedly one of the British music industry's giants. He has brushed shoulders with some of the elite artists of the 20th (and 21st) centuries, including Dame Shirley Bassey, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and Queen (to name but a few).
