West End/ SOLT venues
We’ve expanded our definition of West End to include those big venues that whilst not physically in the West End, budget wise are very similar. Think of places like Southbank Centre or Royal Albert Hall. Generally these are the venues that are members of the Society of London Theatre and eligible for all the big award ceremonies. Whilst we don’t attend lots of these shows, now and again it’s fun to savour the glitz and glamour they can offer.

Review: Groove, Southbank Centre
A seamless blend of breaking, hip-hop, and soulful grooves delivered by multi-talented performers who keep the audience engaged from start to finish.

Review: High Society, The Barbican
No hat-trick for The Barbican. High-quality fun as it is, their third Cole Porter revival in recent years doesn’t quite hit the right notes.

Review: Are You Watching?, Royal Court Theatre
Provocative and complex, Are You Watching? holds a mirror up to the audience and dares them to look away.
-
Review: Memory Keepers, Sadler’s Wells
Thirty-one dancers move with the cohesion of a hive mind, transforming dense, detail-packed tableaux into the work's choreographic signature.

Review: Blizzard, Southbank Centre
Winter is not a season, it’s a way of life for Flip Fabrique.

Review: CARE, Young Vic
A stunning production with an impeccable ensemble of moving and idiosyncratic characters played with no-fuss humour, heart, and humanity. This is an extraordinary piece of theatre.
