Cluedo: A New Play
It was Cluedo, in the Alexandra Theatre with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. This evening we headed to see Cluedo and came away smiling from a show that is full of funny moments, silly jokes and a brilliant set design. But what else do you expect when you are seeing a show directed by the talented Mark Ball –…
The Jungle Book: Reimagined

Khan has taken Rudyard Kiplings traditional story and turned…
Catch Me If You Can

WNO Madam Butterfly
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Emotional, thought-provoking and a clever 21st Century adaptation Lindy Hume has directed this production and brings with it a real female take on Madam Butterfly and it is incredibly well received with many giving a standing ovation at the end.

The Osmonds
“Wow-wee, This is one to see” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have to admit, having been born in 1984, The Osmonds were a little before my time so I was heading to see a musical I knew nothing about. But I was excited. Excited because what I did know, is that these were one of the most popular…
Beauty and the Beast, The Musical
