25 July 2025 I 19:15 I Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I PR - Invite The highly prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company front their 2025 summer season with an apocalyptic and searing revival of The Winter's Tale. A tragicomedy of brutality and myth, Yaël Farber's RSC debut is a visionary sensation, exposing the femininity of the natural world and the cyclical structure of rebirth. Following contemporary trends of dusky, bleak minimalism, Farber's dire

16 July 2025 I 19:30 I Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As Hercules muscles its way onto the West End, Disney's beloved mythological tale of superhuman ability isn't the easiest to take to the stage. Following Frozen's successful (albeit pedestrian) theatre adaptation, Hercules comes with incredible risk. However, with risk comes high reward, as Casey Nicholaw directs a production that begins clumsily, gaining in strength to become a true powerhouse of entertainment

16 July 2025 I 14:30 I Garrick Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Following George Bernard Shaw's original staging in 1902, Dominic Cooke's revival of Mrs. Warren's Profession honours this historic play while invigorating it with a contemporary stance on womanhood. Classically delivered with an impeccable acting standard, Cooke's vision seeks an unforgiving and brutal edge to the original. A society that condemns prostitution while reaping the economic and societal benefits. Featuring

02 July 2025 I 19:30 I Curve Theatre, Leicester ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrew Lloyd Webber's biblical reimagining Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is fundamentally vibrant, understanding its audience to deliver a fantastical feast for the eyes. Following the book of Genesis, Tim Rice's lyrical adventure traverses the story of Joseph, Jacob's favourite son, who is sold into slavery out of jealousy for his colourful attire.

28 June 2025 I 19:30 I Curve Theatre, Leicester ⭐⭐⭐ Loosely inspired by Patrick Hamilton's 1929 novel of the same name, The Midnight Bell is a fly-on-the-wall observation of the darkest corners of 1930s Soho. Centred around the title public house and its affairs, Matthew Bourne's New Adventures captures the era's industrial hardiness and post-war tensions. Staged entirely through dance, a fluid episodic structure is almost hypnotic to watch, although structurally harmful,

26 June 2025 I 19:30 I Grand Opera House, York ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As Dear Evan Hansen prepares to conclude its first major UK tour, I feel incredibly privileged to have witnessed Adam Penford's non-replica staging, originated at Nottingham Playhouse. This modern musical enamours its audience with a contemporary spirit of 21st century teenage anxieties. Self-aware and vulnerable, Dear Evan Hansen is a fearless tribute to loneliness and the challenges in finding human connection. Notion

24 June 2025 I 19:30 I Alhambra Theatre, Bradford ⭐⭐⭐ As the marvellous family-favourite Mary Poppins continues a sell-out UK tour, Bradford's Alhambra Theatre hosts a proud production of grand proportions. With the desire to deliver a practically perfect evening of magic, conflicting aesthetics each fight to be celebrated, in turn losing the heart of a touching narrative. It should be noted that Richard Eyre's production value is immensely high, with a mesmerised audien

10 June 2025 I 19:45 I Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who would have thought that a new musical about corn could be London's summer must-see? With a rip-roaring, side-splitting humour and ambitiously charismatic soundtrack, this infectious staging may not be profound, but audiences are promised a stupendously fun evening!! Previously staged in traditional theatre spaces, Shucked's UK premiere ingeniously finds a home in Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, beauti
