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!

Review: 42nd Street, The John McIntosh Arts Centre
A night of fun, song and dance from a timeless musical bringing 1930s Broadway into today.

Review: Body Stocking Legion, Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club
Whatever entertainment you might expect from Bethnal Green Working Men’s club, Body Stocking Legion is probably not it! This entertainment is quirky, chaotic, immersive, inclusive, and bawdy but principally good hearted and well-intended.

Review: Supersonic Man, Southwark Playhouse
A compassionate musical take on a real-life tragedy
-
Review: NOW That’s What I Call A Musical, New Wimbledon Theatre
Now…that’s what I call…a mixed bag
-
Review: Some Enchanted Evening, Richmond Theatre
Featuring some top-grade talent and a passion for the genre, this show was sadly hampered by poor production values.
-
Review: My Fair Lady, The Questors Theatre
Loverly revival of the classic musical
-
Review: Wilko: Love and Death and Rock’n’Roll, Southwark Playhouse
A play that offers great musical moments but lacks a clear portrayal of Wilko Johnson.
-
Review: Death On The Throne – The Loosical, Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Extravagant and silly, this is a full force comedy musical that can stand with the best London has to offer. Wickedly funny toilet humour and a catchy soundtrack guarantee this show is Top of The Poops.

Review: Dear Evan Hansen, New Wimbledon Theatre
Incredible vocals and slick sets combine for an impressive show that unfortunately struggles to engage at times, with dated references and a convoluted plot.

Review: Seven Drunken Nights: The Story of the Dubliners, Dominion Theatre
This celebration of folk band The Dubliners features enjoyable live performances of their music, but fails to go beneath the surface of one of Ireland’s most iconic acts.
