Review: GUYS AND DOLLS at the Bridge Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, July 7 2023, 10:47
Firstly, if you were to gather together a group of musical theatre reviewers in one place, what would be their collective noun? Secondly, if the purpose of that gathering were to ascertain from them the perfect musical, what would it be? Chances are, amidst the generous cross-section of nominees, Frank Loesser’s 1950 classic GUYS AND DOLLS would feature strongly.

Will Young last graced a London stage back in 2013, playing the Emcee in Rufus Norris’ acclaimed production of Cabaret.

Song and dance man Charlie Stemp stomps and stamps his mark on yet another all-singing, all-dancing feel good musical, this time CRAZY FOR YOU which has just opened at the Gillian Lynne Theatre and is nothing short of Stemptastic.

Review: THEN, NOW & NEXT at Southwark Playhouse
By Stuart King Thursday, June 29 2023, 11:47
It’s taken 10 years (and lockdown) for writers Christopher J Orton and Jon Robyn to transition their random thoughts and ideas — formed during a lull in performing Spamalot one afternoon in 2013 — into a stageable version of THEN, NOW & NEXT.

Review: ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST at Haymarket Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, June 27 2023, 09:47
At the heart of Dario Fo’s 1970 satire, is a desire to expose the oft ridiculous web of lies and deceit used to cover-up incidents stemming from abuses of power. An anarchist dies whilst being interrogated in police custody. But did he jump from the window or was he pushed?
