Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at The Gielgud Theatre
By Phil Willmott Thursday, December 19 2019, 10:45
Look, this isn’t for everyone. The young girl next to me was bored waiting for some funny bits or some Razzamataz. In vain. (Although there’s some up tempo numbers at the top of Act 2)
But this isn’t a piece you watch for a night’s diversion. This is a show you watch with your heart and your soul, you let its melancholia seep into your bones and you emerge understanding that felling blue can be enriching and that down-beat can be majestic.

Review: THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE at the National Theatre

It’s rare that a production is so magical that I forget I'm sitting in a theatre, forget I'm there to analyse and assess it, and get completely swept up in the story.
That happened in the first half of this stage adaptation of the popular novel by Neil Gaiman, the current fantasy author of choice, as adapted by Joel Horwood.

I'm not sure of the science behind this but pretty much all of us, at one time or another need a hug. And this delightful musical is the theatrical equivalent.
The setting is a story-book France at the end of the last century where you’re never far from an accordion solo and everyone treats life’s ups and down with a good natured shrug.

Review: MARTHA, JOSIE AND THE CHINESE ELVIS at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Sunday, December 15 2019, 16:28
Bolton’s part-time dominatrix Josie, is about to turn 40, but she’s in no mood to celebrate. She’s tired of winter, tired of her daughter’s dreams of emulating Torvill and Dean, and certainly too tired to party — but her No1 client Lionel, is undeterred.
