This afternoon I was invited by Love Popups London to attend the 5pm show of Night Of The Living Dead Live at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington. We were treated to premium on-stage platter zone seating, so upon arrival we were outfitted with dark grey boiler suits to cover our clothes with and provide a…

Great British Mysteries – 1599
After having seen Great British Mysteries in their Edinborough previews two years ago (you can check out my review here) I’ve been wanting to see their prequel 1599 since I first heard about it. I finally got the chance when they had a short run at the Soho Theare. Olive Bacon and Teddy Tyrell are…
Vulvarine
After having seen The Talented Mr. Ripley at the Vaults Festival, we stuck around to see Vulvarine by Fat Rascal Theatre. Having seen their previous production of a gender flipped Beauty And The Beast musical, which was one of the most hilarious shows I’d ever seen, I knew I had to see their new production!…
The Rocky Horror Picture Show – 2019 World Tour
We all know that the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a spectacle not to be missed, so when the 2019 World Tour rolled around to Wimbledon, of course I had to grab a ticket and come along. I mean… it’s Rocky Horror, there’s really not much more to say… if you’ve never been to a…
Grindr The Opera
After having missed its first run, I made sure to secure tickets to the second London run of Grindr The Opera, playing at the shiny Above The Stag theatre in Vauxhall. Grindr is a hilarious pop-style opera about gay hook-up culture, and especially the trappings of the popular app Grindr. Despite its focus on humour…
Company
I’ve never seen Company before, so when it was announced that it’s coming to London with an all new, gender-swapped, updated production, I had to grab tickets and give it a go! The story revolves around Bobby, a career woman who is celebrating her 35th birthday surrounded by all her married friends, most of whom…
We’ve Got Each Other
I only read the advertised summary of We’ve Got Each Other to know that I absolutely had to see this one. It goes as follows: With the modern jukebox musical comes: a multitalented cast, orchestra, opulent sets, decadent costumes, extravagant dance routines, dramatic key changes and the odd hydraulic lift or two. We’ve Got Each…
The Mechanicals – Camden Fringe
I love me some fringe shows, so I booked to see a few at the Camden Fringe this year. One of them was The Mechanicals at the Etcetera Theatre. For this show, we got to choose our favourite Shakespeare scenes before entering the theatre, with 15 choices to pick from. The top 5 voted for…
God – The Untold Story
So, this sounded like a lot of fun, so I had to grab tickets and check it out. Here’s the show’s short description: After several centuries in retirement, God has decided to make a comeback… and will be granting an exclusive interview to popular chat-show host, Binty O’Reilley. Sounds fun? Yup, it definitely was! The…
Ruthless! the musical
I recently got to see Ruthless! The Musical at the Arts Theatre. Ruthless is a fun, little musical about ambition and scruples. The story of a young performer who is willing to go the extra mile to be the star of the stage, this musical is packed full of humour and silliness. The production is…
Lady Windemere’s Fan
The Oscar Wilde classic Lady Windemere’s Fan was playing as part of the Oscar Wilde Season at the Vaudeville Theatre, so I grabbed a couple of tickets and went along. This classic comedy is set in 19th century London and explores the relationships of social upper class, with all their outward expectations, moral attitudes, infidelity,…
Young Frankenstein
Being a fan of trashy-weird films, I had to check out Young Frankenstein during its run at the Garrick Theatre this year. I felt it really lent itself to being made into a stage musical, so I grabbed a couple of friends and went to see this farcical bit of light entertainment. Tony-award winning director…
