Hansel and Gretel
28th Nov 24 :: 5

This was an absolutely brilliant show. Fantastic in every way. Witty, modern mesmerising, heartwarming, quirky, fabulously acted, and suitable for all ages. I do not give credit easily, but I would thoroughly recommend this Fantastic show. Hats off to everyone involved in this production but of course the stars of the show are the actors. They have so much talent. I was 110% impressed, wishing that I had brought the whole family. It is a real Christmas treat. Don't miss it. Book now!

Anton Du Beke - Christmas with Anton & Friends
26th Nov 24 :: 5

Full house at Alhambra Dunfermline enjoyed a wonderful show featuring four talented dancers who added gliter and a touch of spice a lovely female singer whose name I did not hear, The inimitable Lance Ellington and the seven piece orchestra and of course Anton who was in top form. There was audience participation with the singing, some spectacular dancing and the whole performance appeared spontaneous despite being well rehearsed. The Twelve days of Christmas was worthy of the best of pantomimes and was one of many highlights in a really good nights entertainment

Dick & Angel - Forever Home (avec le nitty gritty)
10th Nov 24 :: 2

The Strawbridges are not entertainers, and this becomes clear in their performance. The section describing their personal backgrounds was ineteresting, but the presentation was sloppy - uncropped screenshots and the like - and could have been far more professional. It was verging on dull at times, and we discussed walking out, but persevered as far as the interval. The second 'act' was not an improvement. The two children contributed almost nothing, and the dullness escalated. When the childish 'Generation Game' of audience participation began, we walked out - along with several others. The Strawbridges are an interesting couple, and the Chateau series was fascinating, but the roadshow is just not great entertainment. Stick to what you do best!

Animal Farm - The Sequel (New Wimbledon Theatre, Outer London)
4th Nov 24 :: 1

Poorly written, under rehearsed and abysmally and amateurishly delivered. A collection of clich�s that didn't deliver anything new to the canon. Avoid.

Il Divo
23rd Oct 24 :: 4

A good show but the lighting was poor with bright lights flashing across the audience which were too bright and distracting. Also spotlights on performers were not synchronised correctly. Backing music at times overpowered the singers. The show was good but it was only on the last five songs that the quartet seemed to perform at the standard we had been hoping for. Too much plugging of their latest CD etc, more classy to just mention it at the end. Tried flattering the audience too much, made me feel uncomfortable. Could have discouraged people from using their phones and making videos as this was a nuisance and distraction for others in audience. Tickets expensive and small improvements could upgrade the show.

Su Pollard - Still Fully Charged
13th Oct 24 :: 5

Saw Su Pollard in her show 'Still Fully Charged' at the Pavillion Theatre Buxton and it was absolutely brilliant! Su is an absolute STAR! Her singing is fantastic, her personality shines out from the stage, her stories of her 50 years in Showbiz are fascinating and funny and she is an 1000% entertainer. Loved every minute. Thank you Su for a very, very enjoyable night! XX

An Evening of Burlesque
26th Sep 24 :: 1From when the curtain went up , it was as if 6 ex sex workers have knocked up this amateur touring production up - They need to be sued by everyone that goes for FALSE ADVERTISING as the poster conjures up images of a high quality burlesque show - it is nothing like that ! Cheap gags , tatty clothes and old ex sex workers parading around . I know that I will be demanding My Money Back.

Brilliant - I reckon this will be an huge success. Loved the music, the acting was terrific and the story funny and clever.

Go! The Musical
25th Jul 24 :: 3

Saw this show at The Gatehouse yesterday, 24th July. The small auditorium was pretty full and the audience appeared to appreciate the performance overall. The production feel was pretty good, certainly given the stage the show is at. The cast were committed and did a good job, again within the level. The leads were great and I thought stood above the content they were delivering. I think the content was in need of further honing, specifically to delivery it's message more succinctly as well as giving more confidence that the show really understood it's own objectives. It felt as though there could be the core of a future production but at the moment it lacks clear definition. Still worth a watch to see the cast performances and speculate about the shoe's future.

A Bunch of Amateurs (Wigan Little Theatre, Wigan)
7th Jul 24 :: 5

"A bunch of amateurs" they certainly are not. This charming comedy was well performed by some amazing actors. I couldn't fault the show in anyway. The word brilliant was on my lips at the end of this show. You really have to see this play.

Love Hurts - Steve Steinman's Love Hurts - Power Ballads and Anthems Show
2nd Jul 24 :: 2

We saw this show a few nights ago and we were a little sad that Steve wasn't the main singer, he did pop in for a song and left due to an injury he'd had a while ago. We weren't aware he wasn't going to be there, nor were the couple that travelled quite some distance. The music was okay if a little high pitched, but no complaints. At one point it did feel a bit like a stag do, when one of the singers came on stage to do a stripper dance, no complaints from the men filming so I guess we know Steve's target audience, but for me I felt uncomfortable. I won't be going to another one, this will be the third and I'm sorry but they're all much alike.

Love Hurts - Steve Steinman's Love Hurts - Power Ballads and Anthems Show
14th Jun 24 :: 3

Show was good and amazing singers, musicians & dancers however title of show very misleading as it states 'Steve Steinman Love Hurts' we only wanted to attend as is in the past we have gone to Steve Steinman shows and we were under the impression there would be at least a few Meat Loaf tracks unfortunately this was not the case and we left the theatre feeling a little deflated and with a promise we will not be back

So Help Me Dog

Thrillingly original work - a breath of fresh air amongst the earnest theatrical lectures I've found myself seeing over the past couple of years. This deserves a wide audience.
