Eva de Valk casts her expert eye over the shows on offer this Christmas, and suggests something for every taste.

Cheesy but in the best possible sense of the word. Pantomime season is well and truly off to a cracking start!

Judging by my fellow spectators’ enthusiasm this is a great show for the initiated, but it’s less suitable for afrobeats rookies.

Sultry, sexy, soulful and sassy. A wonderful musical production in the glorious Hackney Empire. Not to be missed!
