REVIEW: Ushers, Arts Theatre ✭✭✭✭

Ushers The Front Of House Musical at the Arts Theatre

This inventiveness, as well as some first-class performances, helped make Ushers a very enjoyable night. However, its frequent theatrical references and in-jokes mean you need some level of background knowledge to really get the most out of it. For this reason, whilst it will never be a mass market crowdpleaser, I could easily see Ushers becoming a cult hit.

Jewish Legends review Gatehouse Upstairs

In the bout of the two Jewish musicals revues, I’d have to give it to Never Succeed on points, due to its more inventive staging and varied songlist. The Jewish Legends is a great vehicle for four very talented singers. However, the concept and script is muddled and bloated – as a famous Gentile once sang a little less conversation a little more action!
