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!

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.
-
The Grand Tour, Finborough Theatre – Review
Complex, intriguing, serious yet witty. A complex musical that is definitely worth a watch.
-
A Christmas Carol, Middle Temple Hall – Review
A magical show that’ll give you instant Christmas spirit!
-
Nativity In Creakebottom, New Diorama Theatre – Review
This irreverent jolly on the birth of Jesus is laugh-out-loud funny, and was a great way to see in the Christmas period.
