Admist a crazy personal year with lots of big changes, writing for my blog ended up having to take a backseat. But I couldn’t let 2023 slip by without doing a round-up of the theatre shows that stayed with me long after the curtain fell. So join me on a journey through my top theatrical …
Andrew Lippa’s whimsical score for Big Fish is one of my all-time favourites. I managed to catch the reworked production at The Other Palace a few years back in London. It was a stunning production that made it so easy to fall in love with the Act One finale song. It could be because I …
Nica Burns’ new pride and joy, the first West End theatre to open in fifty years, has become a temporary home to a heart-warming new play based on the life of Neil Baldwin. It was a marvellous selection (forgive me, I couldn’t resist), but also a bold choice, to open the theatre with a new …
