The brainchild of Alexander S. Bermange, I WISH MY LIFE WERE LIKE A MUSICAL (which plays a short residency at the King’s Head Theatre until 21st July before continuing its national tour), follows in the strong British tradition of adding a musical twist to a subject worthy of the merest smidgeon of mockery. Here, everyone from the eager stage school auditionee, to the self-indulgent jaded diva, (not to mention badly behaved audience members — including theatre critics), come in for a justly deserved lampooning.
