Review: MOULIN ROUGE! at Piccadilly Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, September 18 2024, 21:27
This week, I finally got a chance to experience the Piccadilly Theatre’s long-running success MOULIN ROUGE! The production which has been playing to packed houses since November 2021, recently announced that a world tour will kick-off next year. In the meantime and to ensure that the West End production remains fresh and vibrant, next month a brand new cast will be assuming the roles of the various Bohemians and Aristocrats beloved of Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 blockbuster movie. So what do you need to know?

Review: ABIGAIL’S PARTY at Theatre Royal Stratford East

The big question on everyone’s minds at Stratford East’s opening night, for ABIGAIL’S PARTY was, would Tamzin Outhwaite be able to make the iconic role of Beverly — the nightmarishly domineering suburban party hostess — her own? Happily, the answer from the outset was a resounding and unequivocal yes.

After George III lost his beloved colonies in the Americas, Britain had to find somewhere else to send its criminals who were filling every jail in the country. Newly discovered Australia was deemed to hold the answer.

Review: WHY AM I SO SINGLE at Garrick Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, September 12 2024, 23:30
Musical theatre’s graveyard is littered with grand scale projects at which producers threw their millions and ended up with a flop. Thankfully the opposite is also true, where an unlikely premise, when infused with heart, enthusiasm, talent and energy, can result in a surprising and uplifting success. So it is with WHY AM I SO SINGLE? which has just begun (what will hopefully be), a long and successful run at the Garrick.
