Musicals
The triple-threat of music, dance and drama and another staple of the London theatre scene. There are plenty of musicals on the West End, but it’s the Off West End where you’ll find the new stuff, so don’t be afraid to jump in!

Fashion Victim The Musical, The May Fair Hotel – Review
A badly organised play with an unapologetically under-rehearsed leading man. Could have been a good piece of high camp theatre but ended up more like a cheesy backwater panto.
-
Mmm Hmmm, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
An out of this world a cappella production that needs to be seen to be believed!
-
Be Bop A Lula, Ambassadors Theatre – Review
A rousing tribute to some of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest icons.
-
Jerry’s Girls, St James Theatre – Review
A thoroughly enjoyable vocal tour de force. A sheer delight of an evening.
-
John and Jen, Drayton Arms – Review
A strong cast do their best with a book that tries to do too much.
-
She Loves Me, Landor Theatre – Review
Light, frothy musical entertainment that’s easy on both the eye and ear.
-
Happy Ending, Arcola Theatre – Review
A valiant effort, but not quite the riposte to cancer one hoped to see.
-
Molly Wobbly, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
This is fearlessly filthy British humour at its best, with a welcome measure of incredibly camp choreography.
-
Unsigned, Etcetera Theatre – Review
A convincing coming of age story that is perhaps better suited to a screen than a stage.
-
Bat Boy, The Musical, Southwark Playhouse – Review
Competent acting, compelling music, and high production values hold together a story that is at its best bizarre and at its worst manic and unpleasant.
