Competent collection of original Gothic stories with violin accompaniment.

A very funny, gruesomely gothic musical with great performances, costumes, set design, songs, puppetry, some drama, some romance, and even some social comment.

A classical tale gets a farcical makeover and a feminist rewriting in this riotous musical.

Our Verdict: One of the great Victorian stories is finally enhanced by song in this entertaining, revised musical.

An interesting story with powerful performances in a beautiful theatre.

This misguided attempt to write ‘the second-best historical musical in the West End’ falls flat overall.

Josie Lawrence leads the cast in a production that confronts us with the reality of war while keeping us entertained.

A poorly constructed show that fails to capitalise on the breadth of 1980s pop music hangs the cast out to dry with ineffective sound equipment.

A joyous, colourful and exuberant 60s ‘happening’. You will be humming the music to yourself for some time afterwards.

With a killer soundtrack and a talented cast, this is a surprisingly sweet and daftly hilarious musical.
