Review: EURYDICE at Jermyn Street Theatre

The Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice already has an oddly unsatisfying musical version in the West End, courtesy of HADESTOWN running at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. This quirky, much smaller-scale production simply entitled EURYDICE, plays at Jermyn Street Theatre on the opposite side of Piccadilly and offers an altogether different (certainly less musical, though not necessarily traditional) approach to the ancient tale.

Review: LA BOHÈME at London Coliseum

Clelia Cafiero takes-up the baton to conduct this revival of Jonathan Miller’s 2009 staging of LA BOHÈME the tragic masterpiece by Giacomo Puccini who died exactly 100 years ago next month. The opera was premiered in 1896 at Turin and was an immediate success, remaining in the popular opera repertoire ever since. The simple story has spawned a number of other works, most notably Jonathan Larson’s 1996 musical Rent.

Review: JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK at the Gielgud

Seán O’Casey’s oft-performed classic of the Dublin un-working, working-class, gets a refreshing revival courtesy of director Matthew Warchus, bolstered by an exceptionally tongue-in-cheek central performance from Mark Rylance as ‘CaptainJack Boyle.
