21 December 2023 I 14:30 I Savoy Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ahead of this afternoon's performance, I had never come across Sunset Boulevard before. It has taken me a while to truly comprehend the immense impact this adaptation holds. The way people had spoken about it was like nothing else, the sheer level of astonishment bewildered me, but at the Savoy Theatre, is theatrical perfection that really has to be seen to believed. I am currently at a point where I've written over 4

19 December 2023 I 19:00 I Leeds Playhouse (Quarry Theatre) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The newest revival of Lionel Bart's musical Oliver! completely transforms Leeds Playhouse's Quarry Theatre, reinvented for an in-the-round audience. Though still maintaining many of the classic elements of the show, this hugely raved about production really delivers an exuberant and lively dynamic, though at times left me wondering whether this staging is the best fit. Nevertheless, directed by James Brining

10 December 2023 I 18:00 I New Theatre Royal, Lincoln I AD - PR Invite ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Before visiting Lincoln's New Theatre Royal for their 23/24 pantomime Aladdin, I have to admit I was skeptical. For years I have been quite stubborn on the fact that I do not like panto. However, with Aladdin there comes a delightfully engaging show, which works marvels for both adults and children alike. It is very easy to get lost in all the silliness, but NTR take a risk with an extra level o

11 November 2023 I 19:00 I New Theatre Royal, Lincoln ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The 2003 film of Elf, starring Will Ferrell, is perhaps regarded as one of the most popular Christmas films to date. I have never been hugely interested in Christmas movies, and previously only seen clips of this blockbuster.

4 November 2023 I 14:30 I York Theatre Royal ⭐⭐⭐ Ahead of watching Michael Frayn's Noises Off, I have always been astonished by the play's legacy, often hailed as one of the comedic greats in playwriting. Upon watching at York Theatre Royal, Frayn's script certainly tickles my funny bones, although a constant comedic high leaves me feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

21 October 2023 I 14:30 I Trinity Arts Centre, Gainsborough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lizzie, a Hope Mill Theatre production, is one of the lesser known musicals currently touring the UK, with a London stint to follow. I have followed the show for a few years, being a fan of the soundtrack, though I never expected to see it in the flesh so soon! Naturally, I had my preconceptions, though this killer revival is a rocker's paradise, holding a disturbing horror to leave you tense throughout! Ga

7 October 2023 I 14:30 I Hull New Theatre ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jesus Christ Superstar's 2023/24 production sees a fiery, gritty take on the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic. Revived from Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, the 1971 musical is industrialised and modernised into a punky, anarchic concert roaring onto stages nationwide. At Hull New Theatre, we sat front row for this rock spectacular, and as you can see from the image, you are nothing short of close to the action! It cannot be mistak

5 October 2023 I Town And Gown Pub & Theatre, Cambridge I AD - PR Request ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When I was asked to review a filmed performance of Gigglemug's RuneSical, I was endlessly excited about the concept of a new musical. However, although I have heard of the fantasy game RuneScape, I have never played it, nor do I have any knowledge on it. It turns out that, hardcore RuneScape fan or not, you have to absolutely LOVE this show! Advertised as a musical "where you decide what happe
