Assisted Suicide: The Musical, Southbank Centre – Review
Pros: Carr offers a fresh perspective on a controversial topic and puts forward some compelling arguments. Cons: The show is at times repetitive and scattergun in its approach, with distractingly poor production values. I confess, I’ve been looking forward to…

Fabulously flamboyant, wonderfully witty and above all an absolute smash hit.
