Miriam enjoys going to the theatre as an escape from the crippling horror of adult life. Her favourite shows are Cabaret, Tusk Tusk and Home, I’m Darling. She will tell anybody who's listening about the time she met Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Review: TINA - THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL, Aldwych Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Wednesday, January 15 2025, 14:41
If you read, “Tina Turner jukebox musical,” and assume you’re in for a frothy evening of simply big tunes and big hair, think again. Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is an ambitious musical tackling more than you might expect from a show of this genre.

First Look: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at Gillian Lynne Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Tuesday, October 1 2024, 10:14
In 2008, Lehman Brothers bank collapsed during the global financial crisis. The bank had began over 160 years earlier as a small shop in Alabama. Returning to the Gillian Lynne Theatre, The Lehman Trilogy tells the story of the organisation from beginning to end and, through it, the story of a family and a country.

Review: THE BAKER'S WIFE at Menier Chocolate Factory
By Miriam Gibson Friday, July 26 2024, 11:17
With the screen version of Stephen Schwartz's Wicked due out later this year, The Menier Chocolate Factory is staging his earlier, smaller-scale musical, The Baker's Wife. It's an uneven piece, bolstered by a strong cast and lively staging.

Review: Guys and Dolls, Bridge Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Thursday, March 21 2024, 11:18
“Immersive Guys & Dolls,” is a concept nobody asked for- but Nick Hytner’s slick, inventive and gigantically fun production elevates an already terrific musical. It’s London’s best night out.

Review: A STRANGE LOOP, Barbican Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, June 30 2023, 16:05
A Strange Loop by Michael R. Jackson arrives at the Barbican this Summer after winning both a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize in New York. Meta and messy, it’s the story of a fat, queer Black man wrestling with identity and intrusive thoughts.
