Review: SWAN LAKE at Sadler’s Wells

Six years since it was last revived and a full thirty since Matthew Bourne’s mostly-male masterpiece jetéd into the public consciousness, New AdventuresSWAN LAKE is back with a cadre of fresh, young, powerful and energised dance talents who have been honed into a dynamic and sensuous troupe by the man himself.

Review: BETTE AND JOAN at Park Theatre

Either side of a partition wall, and many years after their respective heydays, the feuding grand dames of 1930s-40s Hollywood, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, break the fourth wall and reminisce as they prepare to go on set to film the early 1960s schlocker Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

Review: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA at Dominion Theatre

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

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!
