“Oh Mary!” at Trafalgar Theatre – 30/03/26
You may recall that we’ve been to see a play about Mary Todd Lincoln recently and it wasn’t this one. I’m not quite sure which strings MTL posthumously pulled to get herself a West End double bill but I feel … Continue reading
“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
“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
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
“The Book Thief” at Prince of Wales Theatre -19/10/25
It’s been a few days since we saw The Book Thief but it’s haunting me still. Maybe because it is so very prescient or maybe because it’s a tale for all times….of man’s cruelty to man but the strength of … Continue reading
August Bonanza – Club de Evita-Feel-Gatsby
It’s very nearly the end of August. Whether this brings joy or despair to your heart probably depends on whether your child is climbing up the walls with summer holiday boredom or whether they’re living their best life in pyjamas … Continue reading

“The Mousetrap” at St Martin’s Theatre – 25/08/25
Now, I’m not sure what you’re expecting from a review of a 73-year-old play but I’ll tell you what you’re not going to get – spoilers. There’s a tradition of keeping the Whodunnit in this Whodunnit under wraps and I … Continue reading
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” at the Ambassadors Theatre – 26/07/25
It seems that I have once more been the victim of Facebook advertising. Sooner or later I need to admit that it is *me* that is the problem, not Facebook. No one is forcing me to buy these tickets. All … Continue reading
“Hercules” at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane – 18/07/25
Ah, Theatre Royal Drury Lane we meet again! You of the beautiful staircases and the name which makes for awkwardly long post titles? And where better to stage a Grecian epic than in somewhere with this carpet? So it’s a … Continue reading
