A brilliant cast of kids save the show from mediocrity.

Pros: Beautiful voices and some emotional scenes – this is a production where the women shine! Cons: A rushed plotline and poor sound design. It had been almost ten years since I last saw Evita, and with fond memories I was looking forward to seeing it again, at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s glitzy West End. With Wicked’s Emma Hatton following in the footsteps of Elaine Paige and taking on the leading role this was surely going to be a memorable production. ...

An engaging and amusing story about five friends at different stages of ‘flying the nest’ of their home town.

Pros: Great songs, smart jokes, no fillers Cons: It’s only on for three days Thirsty! is Tori Scott’s London debut and she makes quite an entrance. Already a sellout at go-to cabaret venue Joe’s Pub in New York, I’m sure it won’t be long until she’s selling out in London.

A warm hearted and witty show about an underrepresented section of society, albeit slightly unsure of its target audience.

A successful adaption of a great book that honours the story and hasn’t got bogged down with the glitz and glamour of the West End.
