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!

The Mistress Cycle, The Landor Theatre – Review
This song-cycle is well-performed and the actresses are great to watch and listen to, but the story lacks direction.
-
The Musical Detective Agency, The Space – Review
This is a brave, high energy piece packed with talent and good intentions, but it slightly misses the mark.
-
Grantley’s Show, The Poor School – Review
An entertaining evening which showcased the talents of the students very effectively, but which was lacking in variety.
-
Ray Shell’s Back to Black, The Pheasantry – Review
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…
-
Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens, White Bear Theatre – Review
Elegies isn’t a perfect musical, but it is brilliantly executed in this production. Both joyful and touching!
-
Tell Me on a Sunday, The Duchess Theatre – Review
Webb is not as dynamic or strong as she once was but if you want to quench your thirst for nostalgia, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
-
Interval So Far, The Cockpit – Review
A selection of the best of the company’s productions that’s mostly aimed at the fans. The talented performers make up somewhat for the lack of clarity.
-
I Love You Because, Theatro Technis – Review
An admirable attempt at a West End-style musical production but with clear limitations in its narrative and technical aspects.
-
Doctor Selavy’s Magic Theatre, New Wimbledon Studio – Review
Once you get past trying to figure out what’s going on, and instead just relish in the show’s wackiness and unpredictability, it becomes a highly enjoyable piece of musical theatre.

Half A Person: My Life As Told By The Smiths, Kings Head Theatre – Review
Belying the show’s title, ‘Half a Person’ would appeal to not only Smiths fans, but also those not so familiar with their music.
