 | Payback: The MusicalWho am I? What price, fame? What is reality? These are just some of the inane issues dredged up to validate this otherwise empty narrative. Payback: The Musical is saved by its engaging cast, high quality production values, and the fun factor in its music.... | |

 | Let The Right One InThere is one word that, quite deliberately, is never uttered by anyone on stage during the National Theatre of Scotland’s Let The Right One In—vampire. The much-older-than-she-looks young girl Eli may burn in direct sunlight and bleed profusely if she... | |

 | Big Boys Don't Dance
I approached “Big Boys Don’t Dance” with trepidation. The piece follows two brothers who, after a crazy stag night goes array, need to obtain a great amount of money in a short amount of time. They realise that entering a dance competition is the... | |

 | 1969 Show and Abbey RoadThe Brighton Beach Boys gave a fairly electric rendition of some of the greatest and most celebrated musical bangers from the year 1969, as well as the Beatles’ ‘Abbey Road’. There were some pretty frustrating sound quality problems, particularly in the... | |

 | CruisingAs the producers of the recently abandoned Spice Girls: Viva Forever on stage can surely testify, crafting a perfect musical takes more than placing some catchy tunes amongst a threadbare narrative. It requires strong and reliable characters within a gripping... | |

 | Bridge to an Island"When I was very young, I had a dream that I could step inside any book and become part of the story." So says our narrator (Rosanna Wood), a young girl sitting on a large packing trunk in the middle of the stage, before she becomes mute for almost the rest... | |

 | A Midsummer Night's DreamTaking Flight theatre’s interpretation of the raucous and farcical Shakespearian classic captured perfectly the sense of carnival at the play’s heart, in their open-access adaption at St Ann’s Wells Gardens. Taking Flight pride themselves on making... | |

 | 50 Shades of ScarletAfter taking a long and most likely raucous roadtrip from Hull, the Scarlet’s bawdy songs and skits were a welcome burst of sun on an otherwise dour day. Soundtracked by the ultimate hen night playlist, the Scarlet Lights’ brand of comedy turned out far... | |

 | The Graduate-an adaptation for the...This stage adaption of the book and film was experimental, wacky and creative – a cocktail which at times proved highly successful and at other times fell completely flat. In the words of Mr. Braddock, the whole thing was pretty “half-baked”.
