Hamilton Review (Victoria Palace Theatre, London)
8 June 2023 I 14:30 I Victoria Palace Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The musical sensation Hamilton has dominated the theatre scene since its original premiere on Broadway in 2015, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Controversially, I had never been a huge fan of the soundtrack, as it wasn't to my music taste. I'd also never streamed the pro-shot because I thought it'd be a show to experience live first-hand. I have been pleasantly surprised by the creativity and uniqueness of Hamilton

42nd Street Review (Curve Theatre, Leicester)
3 June 2023 I 14:15 I Curve Theatre, Leicester ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 42nd Street is a historically monumental show, one which from the get go, I had very high expectations for. With an original stage premiere in 1980, the Curve Theatre's adaptation is rejuvenated and modernized. It wants you to believe it is the most expensive show you will ever see, executing this brilliantly without excessive grandeur. With an unbeatable set design from Robert Jones, transitions are glorious to render

Jersey Boys Review (Curve Theatre, Leicester)
6 May 2023 I 14:15 I Curve Theatre, Leicester ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jersey Boys whirls through the story of the rising talents that have come to be known as the Four Seasons, with sensation Frankie Valli leading the group through their turbulent stardom. The most pleasing thing about this biographical production is the precision to detail, and how well they honour their stories without misbalancing anyone's importance in the group. With a story that begins at a lighting pace, the product

Demo Review (Lincoln Arts Centre, AD - PR Invite)
21 April 2023 I 20:00 I Lincoln Arts Centre I AD - PR Invite [star rating not applicable] I thoroughly enjoyed this Demo event, a wonderful representation of the Lincoln Arts Centre’s relaunch to celebrate a new generation of rising talent and brand new artistic ideas. It is a pleasure to be returning once more to the LAC, so a huge thank you to the team for having me along.

Bonnie & Clyde Review (Garrick Theatre, London)
7 April 2023 I 19:30 I Garrick Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bonnie & Clyde really is a masterpiece and beautiful representation of what modern musicals can do. This is my second visit to the Barrow gang, following a performance at the Arts Theatre in July '22. First seeing the show, I was absolutely amazed at the production, just how fearless and refined it was, paying brilliant homage to the recklessness of these small-town criminals. It would seem impossible, but returning to

Cabaret Review (Kit Kat Club / Playhouse Theatre, London)
6 April 2023 I 19:30 I Kit Kat Club / Playhouse Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will be near impossible to encapsulate the experience I have had at the infamous Kit Kat Club for the Playhouse Theatre's immersive production of Kander & Ebb's Cabaret. This doesn't feel like a regular trip to the theatre, but a life experience that you can never shake off. You aren't just a passive spectator, you are IN the Kit Kat Club, and you belong from the second you walk in. Cabaret is such a

A Streetcar Named Desire Review (Phoenix Theatre, London)
5 April 2023 I 19:30 I Phoenix Theatre, London ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Streetcar Named Desire is such a mammoth play for Rebecca Frecknall and the creative team to take on, though it is handled with just the right amount of disturbed passion to reflect Blanche's tormented reality. Set on a wooden platform, we see this small area transformed into Stella and Stanley's flat in Elysian Fields, utilising minimalist scenic changes. But going deeper into the psychological aspects of Williams' pl
