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.

The Stripper, St James Theatre – Review

The Sisterhood, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
Pros: Compelling performances, excellent comedic timing, and a clever use of modern language Cons: Not the best space for this piece with some poor directing and staging choices I knew a bit about Molière before attending Leicester Square Theatre on…

Titanic, Charing Cross Theatre – Review
A remarkable musical work with significant historical value. Certainly bound to become a classic.

Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
Despite a decent turn from the leading man, there’s simply not that much happening in this show and it’s difficult to stay attentive throughout the entire 45 minute runtime.
