Legally Blonde
16th Mar 24 :: 5

Brilliantly performed - a real credit to the cast and all Involved. My daughter and I loved the show

Dom Joly - Conspiracy Tourist
15th Mar 24 :: 1

I agree... we left at the interval.

Bowie Experience
14th Mar 24 :: 1

To avoid confusion, this is not the real genuine original Bowie The Bowie Experience (since 1997 with Laurence) It is a cabaret that has copied our show name and started after lock down, if you are hoping that this is The Bowie Experience you will be disappointed. contact your ticket vendor for a refund if you have bought a ticket in error.

Dom Joly - Conspiracy Tourist
9th Mar 24 :: 1

Not funny, not interesting, just irritating, ignorant, and occasionally obnoxious. Dom's 'wit' relies on criticism and calling everything 'fucking mental'. The Northcote character is incredibly outdated, tiring and unfunny. There was nothing to redeem this show, it was painfully embarrassing in how cringe the attempts at comedy were.

The Importance of Being Earnest (Mercury Theatre, Colchester)
3rd Mar 24 :: 1

Pretentious mess-up of a great play. Sound system in theatre not fit for purpose. It is all in the dialogue and it was hardly audible.

Some Guys Have All the Luck - The Rod Stewart Story
29th Feb 24 :: 5

Excellent show 2nd time I have seen it brilliant performance

The Makings of a Murderer
29th Feb 24 :: 1

The werst show I have ever seen. So disappointed

And Then There Were None
28th Feb 24 :: 3

I felt it was generally well done on a limited stage. Some actors were not projecting their voices sufficiently and were overacting. They may have been the understudy, so I was disappointed as I expected to see the published actors on the first night.

Shen Yun
23rd Feb 24 :: 1Dire American propaganda Nothing Chinese about the performance
Nabil Abdulrashid - The Purple Pill
21st Feb 24 :: 2

The whole act could have easily been halved by removing the unneeded and unfunny, the better half would have been 30 minutes well spent, unfortunately there was 30 minutes of b Overdramatising, artificial crying and transferred anger, it was more life drama than comedy Heavily weighted against the whiteman he certainly didn't read the audience that paid good money to see him show some of the talent that was on display on BGT A half baked dramatic half comedy exploiting racism that would dhug down a TV station should it have been vice-versa is not something I nor any person seeking a good comedy evening should wish to endure 2 out of 10 for effort and some comedy factor A tad disgraceful truth be said More effort required Nabil

As SHE Likes It
18th Feb 24 :: 5

A must see play about the struggles of actresses in the past, continuing into the present day. The actors� passion shines through in this dark, moving and play with an underlying humour throughout. Highly recommend.

David Suchet - Poirot and More, a Retrospective
18th Feb 24 :: 5

I went to see the show yesterday at the palace theatre Westcliff , I had a great seat two rows from the stage , an aisle seat which was perfect as it felt very personal and David was very engaging , talking to the audience and making everyone feel included. He told a fascinating story of his life and career and towards the end intricately morphed into his poirot character in front of our eyes explaining how he achieved the voice , mannerisms and little quirks that endear us all to that iconic little man. Geoffrey Wansell o stage with him as his introducer and interviewer was a bonus as I am also a fan of his . David told amusing , emotive and sometimes sad stories of his life and career and I can honestly say that it was the best theatre experience I have ever had in my 55 years and I�ve seen a LOT of theatre . I did not think I could like Sir David anymore than I did , how wrong I was .

The Hills of California
5th Feb 24 :: 5An amazing piece of writing, beautifully staged and performed. This is a super bit of theatre and the 3 hours whizzed by so fast. I really bought in to these characters and their stories. Marvelous ...
House and Garden
4th Feb 24 :: 1Gave this one star because it wasn’t raining in the theatre. Watched the first half of “The House” then left at the interval… Not funny, dated and on the whole painful to sit through.
