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!

A one-of-a-kind production, beautifully executed. An absolute treat.

A haunting and beautiful new musical based on a sorrowful letter Oscar Wilde wrote while imprisoned for homosexuality.

Blues in the Night, Hackney Empire – Review
Sultry, sexy, soulful and sassy. A wonderful musical production in the glorious Hackney Empire. Not to be missed!

Don't waste your time with TV animation comedy; grab a ticket and enjoy the live music, outrageous lyrics, and buckets of humour this show brings to the stage!

If you have any love for theatre and performance it is imperative you go and see this play.

Best of Friends, Landor Theatre – Review
Solid contemporary musical at a great venue.
-
Out of Order, The Courtyard – Review
Out of Order has the marks of something, in a fledgling state, which has a lot of potential.
-
Cool Rider, The Duchess Theatre – Review
A tongue-in cheek follow up to Grease, Cool Rider bursts with energy and humour.
-
The Beautiful Game, Union Theatre – Review
A show that captures the youthful exuberance and struggles of growing up in The Troubles but with some weak writing and music.
-
Finian’s Rainbow, Charing Cross Theatre – Review
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.
