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.

Punchdrunk: The Drowned Man, Temple Studios – Review
This is a spectacular theatrical experience like no other. Go, go, go!
-
Ushers: The Front Of House Musical, Charing Cross Theatre – Review
This production is everything a musical should be and more. A cheeky take on the life behind the scenes at a West End theatre; a must see for even the most reluctant musical goer. A fantastic night out.

Hero, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
The makings of a good show are definitely here, but the execution is lacking.
-
Amateur Girl, St James Studio – Review
An excellent performance from Speed ensures the audience remains focused on Julie and her heart-wrenching story. For those who enjoy a more humorous production, this may not be for you.

Tell Me on a Sunday, The Duchess Theatre – Review
Webb is not as dynamic or strong as she once was but if you want to quench your thirst for nostalgia, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
-
A Conversation With John Travolta, Theatre Royal Drury Lane – Review
It is overwhelming when your cinematic heroes are as wonderful and great as you expect them to be. An evening to always remember.
-
A Taste of Honey, National Theatre – Review
An excellent revival of the play and a reminder of the remarkable achievement of the young working-class playwright, Shelagh Delaney.
-
Joan Collins: One Night with Joan, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
Fans of Joan Collins will leave the theatre even more in love with her than they were before, whilst those being introduced to her for the first time will find her attitude refreshing and down to earth.
-
The Weir, Wyndham’s Theatre – Review
A very good piece of theatre which will satisfy your craving for good drama, but might leave you wanting a Guinness by the end of it.

Faster Higher Stronger Straighter, The Dominion Theatre Studio – Review
A challenging production highlighting an issue that some people may be unaware of. Uncomfortable to watch in parts but worthwhile.
