Review: Military Wives – The Musical, York Theatre Royal
A funny and moving celebration of the power of community with creative stagecraft throughout.

Review: Sugarbye, Tobacco Factory, Bristol
A sassy new 90s TV show musical where the audience decide the ending, complete with a host of original songs written by Rachel Walker Mason and a light-hearted and relevant script by Eloise Hodder.

Review: Dear Young Monster, Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse, Sheffield
This is a unique piece of theatre describing one person's trans experience with honesty, authenticity and power. An extraordinary autobiographical performance from Pete MacHale.

Review: Theo In Between, Leeds Carriageworks Theatre
A confused and abstract production which ineffectively explores gender identity, but could have potential with further development.

Review: The Vagina Monologues, Crucible Theatre Sheffield
Thought provoking and powerful monologues performed non-verbally by talented actors, but surtitles detract from full audience engagement.
-
Review: The Railway Children, Keighley & Worth Valley Railway
A tale of childhood adventure is a mighty feat of stagecraft, somewhat let down by missed opportunities for education and promotion of acceptance between cultures.

Review: Anything Goes, The Montgomery, Sheffield
Strong principal characters, wonderful costumes and vibrant performances of Cole Porter's classic score.

Review: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield
A very entertaining revival which tries to do something different with this beloved musical, but doesn't always hit the spot.
-
Review: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Rotherham Civic Theatre
A moving and timely production, with a hugely talented cast who perform with humour, emotion and poignancy.
