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.

Out There on Fried Meat Ridge Road, Trafalgar Studios – Review
A short and sweet feel-good show with laugh out loud moments. Even though it is only an hour long, you will feel as though you really know the characters by the end.
-
Pete ‘n’ Keely, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A strong acting and vocal duo do their very best to lift up this camp and kitsch musical, to no avail.
-
Radieuse Vermine, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
Dark satire delivered in bright, breezy and impressively physical style.
-
The Braille Legacy, Charing Cross Theatre – Review
A highly worth seeing new musical. Multi-sensory, thoughtful and exquisite performances by the cast and orchestra.
-
Half a Sixpence, Noel Coward Theatre – Review
A flawlessly executed production of an almost flawless show.
-
Whisper House, The Other Palace – Review
Unexceptional wartime musical with superfluous spooks.
-
Shit-Faced Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
It might be very much a one joke pony, but that one joke has so much to offer it’s worth seeing again and again.
-
This Joint is Jumpin’, The Other Palace – Review
A ninety minute celebration of the music and life of jazz icon Fats Waller.
-
Sublime, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A slow build to an unsatisfying end.
-
Triple Threat, Soho Theatre – Review
Irreverent, bold and outrageous, this show is just something else.
