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: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sheffield City Hall
Visually spectacular and with excellent performances from its talented leading actors, this production of Roald Dahl's beloved story does not disappoint.
-
Review: Calamity Jane, New Wimbledon Theatre
A lively revival with humour and heart.
-
Review: Lisa! The Mona Lisa Musical, Hen and Chickens Theatre
A charmingly creative imaging of the life behind the well-known painting, explored with effective characters and songs. Both very entertaining and thought-provoking.
-
Review: Marie and Rosetta, Rose Theatre Kingston
A long overdue tribute to two titans of rock and roll, told with wit, warmth and two absolutely glorious performances.
-
Review: SNAP: A New Musical, King’s Head Theatre
A stylish new musical which has intriguing themes, but is limited by underdeveloped characters and a muddled narrative.

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.
