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: Mary and the Hyenas, Wilton’s Music Hall
The life of iconic 18th century writer, philosopher and women's rights activist Mary Wollstonecraft is wonderfully brought to life by a soundtrack good enough to be a gig in its own right.

Croft rocks Sheffield! An impressive and powerful, full-on production, full of energy, great music and lots of laughs.

Review: Cry-Baby The Musical, Arcola Theatre
Satirical and silly, this musical embraces its own ridiculousness, delivering a hilarious and fun-filled evening.

Review: Punk Off! The Sounds of Punk and New Wave, Dominion Theatre
A nostalgic celebration of Punk and New Wave ‘greatest hits’ with some added narration and dance numbers. Exciting, energetic and fun.

Review: It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad Madge, The Glitch
An experimental but sandy mess that proves using a loop pedal is harder than it looks.

Unfamiliar World War II story gets the musical treatment.

Review: Blood Brothers, New Wimbledon Theatre
This timeless piece feels more relevant to modern audiences than ever before.

Review: Mary Poppins – The Musical, Theatre Royal Plymouth
A technically strong and impressive show, marred by the lack of an emotional core which makes for a brash product with little light and shade.

Review: Cruel Intentions, New Wimbledon Theatre
A story across three decades: an 18th-century play morphing into two 20th-century films and now a 21st-century jukebox musical. Sadly proof that pedigree does not always correlate to perfection.
