REVIEW: Into The Woods, Cockpit Theatre ✭✭✭
Julian Eaves reviews Into The Woods by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine now playing at The Cockpit Theatre London.
REVIEW: Goosed, Royal Vauxhall Tavern ✭✭✭✭
Goosed is full of all the broad comedy, saucy innuendo, silliness and audience interaction that families relish in a festive panto but this is definitely not one for the kids.
REVIEW: Metropolis, Ye Olde Rose And Crowne ✭✭✭✭✭
Metropolis is the kind of show that makes you want to go and see it again, and again. Rush to get tickets to what will be one of the fastest selling shows of the year.
REVIEW: Cream, Canal Café Theatre ✭✭✭
Yes, this whole show – hastily put together in barely a week – might well shine a bit more with a little more rehearsal and polish, but the ending is full of optimistic verve and good cheer.
REVIEW: The Frogs, Jermyn Street Theatre ✭✭✭✭
These songs rank amongst Sondheim’s best, and the witty, light-as-air confection of the book is a constant joy, managing to stay always earthy and ‘grounded’, no matter how fancified the subject matter might become.
