Burlesque the Musical is a fun and frivolous night out with some great crowdpleasers – review

admin, , , ,

We went to check out Burlesque the Musical last year in Manchester – not in a review capacity, just to see what it was like – so we already had a fair idea of what to expect when the show opened in London at the Savoy Theatre.

We…

“Protect The Dolls!”: Mariah Carey dazzles at Brighton Pride

admin, , , ,

“It’s tiiime!” After a five-year wait (insert the obligatory “It’s been 84 years” Titanic meme here), songbird supreme Mariah Carey made a dazzling return to the UK on Saturday 2 August for her headline concert at Brighton Pride. Originally slated to appear in 2020, the superstar’s appearance was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making this long-awaited performance feel all the more special.

There is no collection of songs.” Roan explained it took five years to write and record her debut, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and that “it’s probably…

The Diana Mixtape Musical is a strong contender for the campest show in town – review

New musical The Diana Mixtape has landed in London at HERE at Outernet and is a strong contender for the campest show in town right now.

It makes for a fun – if rather chaotic – night…

Fletcher speaks with Gay Times for the first time since her 2024 cover, opening up about her evolving artistry and the mixed reactions to ‘Boy’.
