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.

Even with the touch of Sondheim this is heavy going, but still manages to shine with some pleasing performances.

The Palladium has never looked, felt or sounded quite so sumptuous.

BU21, Trafalgar Studios – Review
The transfer of this play from Theatre503 is well deserved, allowing BU21 to shine even brighter to a whole new audience.

The Kite Runner, Wyndham’s Theatre – Review
A good adaptation of the book, but the limitations of the stage do not allow room for the emotive intricacies of the story to develop.
-
The Twentieth Century Way, Jermyn Street Theatre — Review
Skilfully evokes the plight of homosexual men in 1900s America.

Glockenspiel, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A play that never quite fulfils its promise, but does have enough depth and humour to make it an interesting two hours.
-
A Christmas Carol, Above the Arts Theatre – Review
A memorable version of the Dickens classic momentarily side-tracked by the food!
