The Play That Goes Wrong ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mischief Comedy have arrived at The Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham with their popular production, The Play That Goes Wrong. A real slapstick production with lots of silliness. It is the theatre version of Marmite, you will either love it or hate it and sadly for me, it wasn’t my cup of tea. That said, you may…

Mamma Mia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Last night I was transported to a tiny Greek Island and I’ve never been so happy. Mamma Mia The Musical has landed at Birmingham Hippodrome (until May 14th 2022) and it is a real feel-good musical. Sometimes you can find a juke-box musical tries to put so many songs in, that the plot line is…

Khan has taken Rudyard Kiplings traditional story and turned…

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. Although we are in Japan, we have no cherry blossom and no distinctive…
Footloose
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Energetic, fun and a little bit naughty” is the best way to describe this production of Footloose which is currently at The Alexandra Theatre until Saturday 23rd April 2022. With tickets from as little as £13 (Dress Circle Seats where you still get a brilliant view), you could have a brilliant evening tonight as…
