User review by jim for Viva Forever (Piccadilly Theatre, West End)
12th Dec 12: the critics were never going to really like this - the public will love it!
User review by James Harding for Jack and the Beanstalk (South Hill Park Arts Centre, Wilde Theatre, Bracknell)
10th Dec 12: A thrilling atmosphere is created and a high standered show produced. There are a few unneccisary scenes however the ones that are needed are well thought out. At all times the audience is presently surprised.
User review by Katherine Windsor for Jack and the Beanstalk (South Hill Park Arts Centre, Wilde Theatre, Bracknell)
10th Dec 12: A superb pantomime with star peformances from David (Jack) and Julian(Old Ma Donald). The children are skilled with great enthusiasm. The play is tied together well and all audience members join in with the unforced involvment. The bad smells number and the dialogue before hand in the giants castle was particularly great. Although long winded at time it is great fun for all ages.
User review by Georgin for Sleeping Beauty - Dream On (Chicken Shed, Outer London)
8th Dec 12: Absolutely amazing show. Witty, clever, and utterly modern. It manages to capture family life perfectly, and the two "Consciences" are hilarious. I really can't praise it enough! Definitely a must see!
User review by USER for Aladdin and the Magical Lamp (The North Wall, Oxford)
8th Dec 12: Fun...
User review by Charles Dickens London for A Christmas Carol (Waterloo East Theatre, Outer London)
6th Dec 12: Dominic Gerrard performed brilliantly with his interpretation of A Christmas Carol at our Dickens Day For Great Ormond Street Hospital recently. The audiences were delighted and thrilled by his passionate and original portrayal, bringing his incredible Scrooge puppet vitally alive, expressing the story with great acting skill in fine Dickensian tradition; the applause was rapturous from all age groups. Don't miss this opportunity, go and see it at the Waterloo East Theatre.

User review by Alison for Soul Sister (HACKNEYEM12)
24th Nov 12: Watched Soul Sister this afternoon at Darlington Civic Theatre. Sadly the theatre was three-quarters empty which is a shame as the show was brilliant! The band was great, singing and dancing fantastic. And the actress playing Tina was an absolute star - brilliant singer and dancer! Thank you very much to all involved in bringing this show to us.
User review by USER for The Upstairs Room (The King's Head Theatre, Inner London)
22nd Nov 12: I absolutely loved this. Very funny, and incredibly moving. Some really great performances. I got so emotional at one point that I made a strange guttural noise that made a few people turn round and look at me. I love the ambiguity of the show - it seems appropriate given the subject matter that the audience leaves still wondering what and who was real, and what will happen to Gordon now. Highly recommended. I see there's no link, so tickets are from here: https://kingsheadtheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/873485852/events
User review by Ian Campbell for The Trials and Tribulations of Mr Pickwick (General, Brighton)
18th Nov 12: Excellent evening and thoroughly recommended. The performance was enthralling and beautifully executed. 5*
User review by USER for Aladdin (Park and Dare Theatre, Treorchy)
13th Nov 12: This page was no good
User review by Ryan Smith for Dracula (Bierkeller Bristol, Bristol)
12th Nov 12: A fast moving, pacey run of Bram Stoke's Victorian Classic. As a fun of the novel, I am dubious about most adaptations, but this remained true to the text - and benefited massively by doing so. The character of Renfield was, sadly, omitted - but this only served to quicken the pace and delivery of the story. Jonathan and Mina Harker were played beautifully naturally by David Cole and Jasmine Smart. Smart captured perfectly the strength and dignity of the suffering wife, and the couple shone particularly in the gorgeous burial service. Martin Whatley was a strong, lean Dracula - and understand Tom Hatherley stepped in admirably to the large Dutch shoes of Van Helsing. Well worth seeing - and the setting could not be more perfect!
User review by USER for The Seagull (Southwark Playhouse, Inner London)
11th Nov 12: Excellent performances made so much more intimate by being performed in the round.
User review by PLandSL for Let it Be (Prince of Wales Theatre, West End)
10th Nov 12: Unusual format for a West End show, which results is a terrible and tacky tribute for the Beatles 50th year.
User review by me for Let it Be (Prince of Wales Theatre, West End)
10th Nov 12: Let it be would be laughable where it not for the fact it is gracing the west end stage and the cost of the tickets. We are 'treated' to just over two hours of a fair to middling covers band, the multi media rich spectacular is two screens showing film clips of mostly American origins, a group of middle aged men shaking their heads and falling into every stereotype you've ever seen - sounds and looks nothing like the Beatles Paul is right handed and gaunt while hippy John looks a dead ringer for Ozzy Osbourne.
User review by charles the hayfield school for The Woman in Black (Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield)
7th Nov 12: Fantastic it was amaizing i thought that the 3 actors were fantastic in expressing the story the way they did. CONGRATULATIONS !!!
User review by the mad blonde wummin for I, Tommy (King's Theatre, Glasgow)
