Review: THE PRODUCERS at Garrick Theatre

With a cast of 23 eager performers, the Menier Chcolate Factory’s production of Mel Brooks’ THE PRODUCERS this week completed its West End transfer and is all set for a six month run. Last year’s revival resulted in unprecedented critical success and the production played to sold-out houses and enthusiastic audiences for 12 weeks at the 180 seat fringe venue. But how does it fare within the altogether larger Victorian environs of the Garrick Theatre on Charing Cross Road?

Review: THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR at Shakespeare's Globe

The Merry Wives of Windsor is far from Shakespeare’s best work, with a convoluted plot packed with too many characters, and humour that relies mostly on the popular character of John Falstaff from the Henriad. So any director is hard-pressed to give it a worthy adaptation, and Sean Holmes gives it his best effort, with mixed results.

Review: MURMURATION LEVEL 2 at Peacock Theatre

Hailing from Gard in the south of France, choreographer Sadeck Berrabah quickly made a name for himself on the back of a viral online presence. He founded his group Géométrie Variable in 2017, and after television talent show success and multiple collaborations (including choreography for the Grammy Awards and Olympic Games), he developed a show called Murmuration. Until Saturday 20th September, London has a chance to see the follow-up production MURMURATION LEVEL 2, which plays at the Peacock Theatre.

Review: JUST FOR ONE DAY at Shaftesbury Theatre

Just For One Day is a showy, sentimental jukebox musical which makes only half-hearted attempts to address problematic elements of its subject matter. Somehow,it simultaneously has no plot, and too much going on. Despite this, though, it absolutely won me over.
