Everything Theatre Reviews, interviews and news for theatre lovers, London and beyond

Any fan of Jacques Brel’s music will enjoy this well performed revue of his songs, but it is unlikely to appeal to those that prefer light and frivolous music.

This play marks a good start but I would have liked to have seen a more developed storyline.

This production did more than justice to the classic tale of love and betrayal. Powerful and unsentimental with many memorable performances.

Community is everything and everywhere. But how can a play touring innumerable different communities relate to each and every one of them? Julie Griffiths discovers how The Events, a now-touring production using a different local choir at each new venue, does exactly that.

Beautiful and haunting, this performance is the perfect tribute to the poetry of the First World War.

A physically impressive and atmospheric ballet. Deviates from Tolstoy's classic to concentrate more on the love triangle between characters.

A lovely show, although the ludicrous plot, including pantomime villains and leprechauns, is hard to embrace. The audience, which had a very wide age range from the very young (including a baby), loved it.

A compelling and moving play and an important piece of Holocaust theatre.

This song-cycle is well-performed and the actresses are great to watch and listen to, but the story lacks direction.

Ray Shell is a great singer and talented entertainer, with charm, poise, intelligence and wonderful sense of humour. He knows how to work an audience and makes his show feel like a private party. A must see for musical theatre lovers.
