Review | The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Bridewell Theatre ⋆⋆⋆⋆
Over the years, creatives have managed to find material to adapt for the stage from all sorts of places: from folklore; religious texts; to real life scandals and the list goes on. But who would have guessed that Charles Dickens’s unfinished murder mystery novel could be adapted into a boisterous whodunnit musical comedy and that [...]
Review | Crooners, Richmond Theatre ⋆⋆
When thinking of classic crooners such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Bobby Darin, the word timeless comes to mind.

Review | Back to the Future the Musical, Adelphi Theatre ⋆⋆⋆
I hadn’t originally planned on seeing Back to the Future the Musical. I felt lukewarm after watching the 1985 film and so logic would tell me that it would be best to avoid it. However, since this musical’s 2020 run in Manchester I’ve heard nothing but glowing word of mouth reviews and so temptation got [...]
Review | Bring It On, Queen Elizabeth Hall ⋆⋆⋆⋆
My enduring love and respect for cheerleading dates back to watching the 2000's Bring It On film with Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst. I would endlessly quote from it and lament that my school didn’t have a cheerleading team of its own. The closest I’ve been to experiencing cheer is attending a couple of gymnastics [...]
