Now playing in Wimbledon as part of its UK & Ireland tour, @cruelmusicaluk.bsky.social is an enjoyable evening full of 90s hits performed by a fantastic cast though this production does lack a bit of the magic from its London run. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Celia Imrie and Tamsin Greig are fantastic as mother and daughter in 'Backstroke' at @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social though the writing never quite reaches its full potential, feeling muddled at times. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

9 show week? Completed it mate. 7 shows to review and 2 for fun. 2 of them I think are the best shows of the year so far. 2 of them... not so much. What a full on but brilliant week. Love seeing so much theatre but I'm ready for a day to rest now before it begins again on Monday!

If you've been listening to the podcast, you'll know I like to talk about a different "Hot topic" with my guest each week. Are there any topics in particular you'd like me to talk about in future episodes? I'd love topics that can prove an interesting conversation or debate.

Today's viewing - it's been a long 9 show week full of some amazing shows. Finishing the week off with a return to one of my favourite theatres, @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social for 'Backstroke'. Look out for my review tomorrow.

The latest offering from Chris Bush 'Otherland' at Almeida Theatre beautifully asks what it means to be a woman with two simultaneous stories in a sensitive and intimate exploration that proves to be more than enough. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

'Much Ado About Nothing' at Theatre Royal Drury Lane is a Jamie Lloyd production like you have never seen before. Creative, refreshing and completely joyous, this is his best work in years and one of the best plays of the year so far. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Tonight's viewing - show 7 of this 9 show week and my second Shakespeare in two days. At Theatre Royal Drury Lane for 'Much Ado About Nothing'. I'm obsessed already purely from the pre-show music. That's a good sign! Look out for my review tomorrow.

Jonathan Bailey is blisteringly good in 'Richard II' at @bridgetheatre.bsky.social though not every aspect of the production quite matches that level in an uneven watch. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Tonight's viewing - at Bridge Theatre for the first of 2 Shakespeare shows in 2 days for me. 'Richard II' starring someone called... Jonathan Bailey apparently. Look out for my review tomorrow.

This afternoon's viewing - it's a rare double show day on a weekday for me but I couldn't resist a return trip to The Devil Wears Prada to catch the amazing Debbie Kurup as Miranda Priestly. That's all.

Shakespeare goes nautical in the RSC’s new production of ‘Hamlet’. With an immaculately assembled cast, tremendous creative risks are taken with massive payoffs in this titanic, utterly triumphant production.

An early contender for the best play of the year, KENREX at @swkplay.bsky.social is all killer, no filler. Refreshingly unique, its faultless genius production is effortlessly matched by the brilliance of Jack Holden's performance. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

The world premiere of 'East Is South' at Hampstead Theatre asks the question about the place of Artificial Intelligence in this world but, in doing so, has lost any sense of humanity in a play that proved cold and soulless. Here's my ⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Set completely in a luxury ladies toilet, brand new musical 'Stalled' enjoys its world premiere at the King's Head Theatre. Though full of potential and a great cast, it needs a lot more work if it wants to be flushed for success. Here's my ⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

A star cast take on Mike Bartlett's latest play 'Unicorn' fleshing out the story of a married couple looking for a third. Though it has some great moments, it struggles with feeling unfinished at times, proving anticlimactic Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...
