“Mrs President” at Charing Cross Theatre – 21/02/26
So it’s been nearly a week since our exhausting “two shows and an ordination” day and I’ve only just found the time to write about the second show. I’ll pick up where I left off, which was us leaving Southwark … Continue reading
“Ballad Lines” at Southwark Playhouse – 21/02/26
Saturday was a complicated day. You might wonder why I’ve not blogged in a while but the answer lies in the last post I wrote… that ol’ crutched teenager. So we’ve been having some very boring weekends at home while … Continue reading
“The Producers” at Garrick Theatre – 10/01/26
Now, I think I mentioned before that I was worried about how “The Producers” would go down with a woke, GenZ audience. The awkward silence at Musical Con only confirmed my theory that the show might just be a tad … Continue reading

Shortly before Christmas, Nathan and I were meeting up with old friends in Kennington. We passed the White Bear theatre pub and Nathan mentioned the time we saw a musical version of “Dracula” there. I blithely said that it had … Continue reading

“Dick Whittington and his Catford Cat” at Broadway Theatre – 11/12/25
I forgot to mention earlier that the theatre also has a reconstruction of a Windrush-era living room in the foyer, right where that picture of Chris and Pui was taken. It’s fascinating and provoked quite some nostalgia in the people … Continue reading
“Red” at Chickenshed – 21/11/25
It’s panto season! And before you say “oh no it isn’t”, let me present my evidence. Namely that Roo and I just went to our first panto of the year, which was Chickenshed’s version of “Little Red Riding Hood”. Being … Continue reading
“Ride the Cyclone” at Southwark Playhouse – 15/11/25
What to say about viral social media sensation “Ride the Cyclone”? Well, the first thing to say is that I’ve been listening to MickeyJoTheatre’s thoughts on previews so, in accordance with those thoughts, this review should not be appearing until … Continue reading
Afternoon Tea Bus – 07/11/25
Ever feel like doing something ridiculously touristy, even though it’s in your own city? Well VK did. On our long walk to see “Hamilton” in May, she had spotted the Afternoon Tea Bus and thought it looked like a very … Continue reading

“Cabaret” at the KitKat Club – 05/11/25
5th November is certainly a time for remembering things and so it was probably appropriate that I used a day’s annual leave to take VK to the KitKat Club (AKA the Playhouse Theatre) to remember what life is like under … Continue reading
