REVIEW: Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, Garrick Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
Young Frankenstein is a zany, fun-filled, musical entertainment that will keep you laughing from start to finish.
REVIEW: Committee the musical, Donmar Warehouse ✭✭✭✭✭
Committee is without a doubt one of the most exciting new musicals you’re going to see this year.
REVIEW: The Winter’s Tale, Garrick Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭✭
Dench’s verse speaking is unrivalled. She picks each word and gives it full, accurate weight, landing the sense, purpose and exact emotion of every glittering phrase. She is wily, wise and wonderful. Her pained berating of Leontes when she tells him Hermione is dead is one of the greatest moments in theatre I have ever witnessed. So powerful, it knocks the breath from your body.
REVIEW: Of Thee I Sing, Royal Festival Hall ✭✭
The comic performance of the night, and the source of most consistent pleasure, came from the very talented Tom Edden who made an acting masterclass out of the portrayal of the reluctant Vice President, Alexander Throttlebottom (is there a character in a Broadway musical with a better name?). Taking his cue from that name, Edden presented a neurotic, chaotic, frantic but ambitious, character: he stole every scene he was in and even some he was not in. Superb.

REVIEW: City Of Angels, Donmar Warehouse ✭✭✭✭
City of Angels has an impeccable pedigree – a book by Larry Gelbart, lyrics by David Zippel and a rich, brassy score from Cy Coleman. It provides great scope for sexy, funny, thrills and surprises. And tremendous singing.
