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: Next To Normal, National Cinemas
A powerful, emotional, and timeless musical experience on the big screen.
-
Review: Urinetown, The University of Sheffield Drama Studio
A very different musical comedy, blending dystopia, satire, parody and a fabulous score to create a highly enjoyable night at the theatre.
-
Review: Elephant, Menier Chocolate Factory
Anoushka Lucas’ one of a kind gig-musical theatre piece is an evocative response to systemic racism and the lasting effects of colonialism.
-
Review: This Is My Family, Southwark Playhouse
A play that evokes memories of my own youth, as characters and conversations unfold onstage
-
Review: Pop Off, Michelangelo! Underbelly
Artistic references mixed with modern, which results in a hilariously silly show.
-
Review: After The Act, Royal Court Theatre
Silenced voices struggle to be heard in this moving but messy show.
-
Review: & Juliet, Lyceum Theatre
A glorious re-imagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, set to the power of Max Martin's extensive back catalogue
-
Review: The Mad Ones, The Other Palace
A vocally fantastic and visually clever production that has moments of humour and heartbreak, and brilliantly displays the talents of this intimate cast.
-
Review: The Mikado, The Drayton Arms
A whimsical, irreverent, slightly chaotic reimagining of The Mikado that successfully swaps outdated tropes for unlikely magic.
-
Review: Shrek the Musical, Acorn Theatre – Worksop
A joyful romp of a production with real heart and a strong feel of community.
