Review: JACK AND THE BEANSTALK: WHAT A WHOPPER! at Charing Cross Theatre

By Stuart King Saturday, November 30 2024, 10:42

The smutty jokes and campy asides come thick and fast (apologies, I just had to) as the He’s Behind You team present their follow-up to last year’s rip-roaring adult panto success (Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick!) with their spin on the family favourite which sees an athletic-but-dim lad clambering eagerly atop something which has grown enormous over night!

Review: [title of show] at Southwark Playhouse Borough

By Stuart King Tuesday, November 19 2024, 09:43

Jeff and Hunter (originally the creators Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell) hear there’s going to be a musical theatre festival showcasing new work. Only problem, they don’t have anything ready and the submission deadline is 3 weeks away. This is a slightly left-field version of “let’s put on a show” in which the show amounts to the process the pair go through in developing a show… the show… this show! So does the idea actually work?
