Cynthia Erivo stars in radical new staging of Dracula on London’s West End – review

admin, , , ,

It’s no surprise that there’s a huge amount of hype surrounding the West End premiere of Dracula – the show’s star, Cynthia Erivo, has been collecting countless awards for her appearances in the Wicked movies, while adapter and director Kip Williams recently picked up Olivier and Tony Awards for his staging of The Picture of Dorian Gray, which featured Succession star Sarah Snook. With an actor and a director both at the top of their respective games, riding huge waves of success, Dracula has a lot to live up to.…

Ben Daniels is mesmerising in timely revival of Man and Boy at the National Theatre – review

admin, , , ,

Terence Rattigan’s Man and Boy is rarely performed – it wasn’t popular when it debuted back in 1963, receiving a muted response on both the West End and Broadway. It should be noted that this was due to the playwright’s declining popularity at the time; while his earlier plays were successful, by the 1960s the new wave of Angry Young Men had arrived, and in comparison Rattigan’s writing was deemed old-fashioned. We’re glad director Anthony Lau has revived this play for 2026, as it feels incredibly timely and relevant for…

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a truly charming new musical – review

admin, , , ,

We were recently afforded a sneak peek into the world of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry: singer and songwriter Passenger, who has written the songs for this show, performed an intimate preview gig in London which we were fortunate enough to attend. As such, going into the theatre, we already had a sense of the songs we were about to hear, as well as a reasonable idea of the story. Given this, we were really quite surprised by just how invested we felt in these characters, and how impactful…

Revival of Tom Stoppard’s epic masterpiece Arcadia is absolutely fascinating – review

admin, , , ,

The late Sir Tom Stoppard – who passed away a few short months ago – has left an incredible legacy of works; his final play, 2020’s Leopoldstadt, picked up the Olivier Award for Best New Play (the Broadway transfer also won the Tony Award for Best Play). In amongst an extensive catalogue of plays, Arcadia is regarded by critics as his finest work, so we took the opportunity to check out The Old Vic’s revival over the weekend – especially after we’d been impressed with their 2024 revival of his…

Ballad Lines is an engaging new folk musical full of great songs – review

admin, , , ,

Ballad Lines has been a long time in the making – this week marks its London premiere, although the past decade has involved a whole series of workshops, concerts and public readings. Now it’s finally arrived, has it been worth the wait? We’re pleased to report that it’s really very good indeed. It all starts quite conventionally: we’re introduced to Sarah (Frances McNamee) who has just moved in with her partner Alix (Sydney Sainté) into an apartment in New York – well, we say it’s a conventional start; it wasn’t…
