As part of my London Theatre module, I needed to see a show at the National Theatre in the Southbank and since I had just seen the amazing Hadley Fraser in Coriolanus I decided to see his girlfriend, Rosalie Craig, in The Light Princess. Scoring a £12 Travelex ticket for today’s matinee, I was in […]
Coriolanus, as many a fangirl and Shakespeare affectionate knows, played a limited run at the Donmar Warehouse in Covent Garden through 13 February 2014.

Last night I took my mum to see Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sir Tim Rice‘s beloved musical, EVITA, based on the life of Eva Peron. This particular national tour is based on the 2006 London and 2012 Broadway Michael Grandage staging and exceeded all expectations. To begin with, Michael Grandage‘s staging is perfect because […]
We all know those classic Cole Porter songs such as Another Openin’, Another Show and Too Darn Hot and So In Love. Spiced up for a modern audience but still making use of all the classic songs, the result is continuous laughs and two hours of toe tapping fun. Starring as the star-crossed lovers, Fred/Petruchio and […]
New songs for The Wizard of Oz written by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice bring the beloved 74-year-old musical forward with sparkle and panache starring Danielle Wade and Jacquelyn Piro Donovan.
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert will have you laugh, tap your foot non-stop, and be unable to stop clapping out of delight during the entertaining curtain call. And be forewarned that you’ll likely leave humming an 80’s favorite.
