REVIEW: Deconstructing Broadway, Leicester Square Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
For any musical theatre fan, this is a night of sheer bliss. For anyone else it’s a night of comedy gold.

REVIEW: Patti LuPone, Leicester Square Theatre, ✭✭✭✭✭
If ecstasy were a fragrance the air would be rich with it, seeping from the overjoyed auditorium
REVIEW: The Universal Machine, New Diorama Theatre ✭✭✭
Richard Delaney is striking in the complex role of Turing, capturing his being both physically and in brief moments of song. The composers have chosen to allow the music to occur around Turing highlighting his alienation, which is palpable.
REVIEW: Once, Phoenix Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
This version of Once aches with a rawness, a shuddering and tremulous intensity that is almost unbearable to endure, so true, brave and intense are the performances from the entire ensemble.
REVIEW: The Audience, Gielgud Theatre ✭✭✭✭
The Audience, written by Peter Morgan, starring Helen Mirren and directed by Stephen Daldry, is one of those rare theatrical experiences which embraces and delivers all of the possibilities in a rich, perfectly-pitched and played meditation on the UK Monarchy, the office of Prime Minister and the state of the evolving UK society…If all West End productions were this good, London would expire from sheer pleasure.
REVIEW: The Judas Kiss, Duke Of Yorks ✭✭✭✭
Neil Armfield’s glorious revival of David Hare’s masterpiece about the torments, triumphs and tragedy of Oscar Wilde’s last years, The Judas Kiss, is spellbinding theatre and, but for one glaring inadequacy, would be hard to beat as revival of the year.
REVIEW: Versailles, Donmar Warehouse ✭✭✭✭
This is the sort of play the Donmar is famous for. An instant classic.
REVIEW: Feathers in the Snow, Southwark Playhouse ✭✭✭✭
Ridley creates a world of conditioning, fear, faith, sacrifice, freedom, jubilation, strength, weakness, love and hate. It’s all there.
