“LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DIDN’T DO, ITS ABOUT WHAT WE DID DO” When getting the tickets for this production I was really intrigued. First, because I have never seen a one man show and second because of the plot and its promise of being a poignant original comedy. To tell you the truth the main reason for me was Asa Butterfield’s (you would recognise him from Hugo, Sex Education, Enders Game and many more) theatre debut and the hint of Hogwarts. Sometimes you…

If you liked Stranger Things the NETFLIX TV show that became a worldwide phenomenon, this theatre production, playing at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End will blow your mind. Literally and metaphorically. But if you have arrived from another planet and don’t know the Stranger Things universe then don’t let that put you off. The story is a prequel so it goes back in time, so in theory you could watch the production then dive into the TV series, however you would miss the…

I saw this show when I was little, however I completely forgot how impressive this perennial thriller is. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was and was enthralled for the entire performance. Agatha Christies legendary whodunnit is one show in the West End that you must see at least once in your life. It is playing at St Martin’s theatre, Covent Garden and has been since 1974 with this member of the audience one of more than 10 million who have sat there trying…
Hello Listener, the popularity of true crime and podcasts are matched together perfectly in this new musical now being performed at the Ambassador Theatre in the West End. This refreshing original musical production that it is not a re-hash of Disney movies, iconic films or old theatrical hits being brought back for the umpteenth time. The play was originally shown in 2022 at the Edinburgh Festival and its running time has been expanded from 70 minutes to 120 minutes for its run in the West…
