Fame - the Musical (His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen)
5 Martin Sheif
13th Sep 18: After seeing the Fame musical UK Tour starring Keith Jack, Jorgie Porter and Mica Paris. I found myself left in awe of the sheer raw talent produced on the stage. Many stories to follow and many characters to invest in. From the Staging to the tight knit choreography by Nick Winston. You cannot fault this show. Standout Performances for me came from Mica Paris who plays Miss Sherman - who gave you everything and more in her solo for “These Are My Children”, I found myself with a tear in my eye after hearing her rendition of “These Are My Children”. Jamal Kane Crawford who plays Tyrone Jackson was electric, his stage presence, energy and dancing throughout was something I could not fault, talent! Also Stephanie Rojas who plays Carmen Diaz left the audience stunned with her rendition of “In L.A”, her character was another you really felt invested in and willing to make it. Again I felt she also embodied the character being played. Another highlight for me has to be the finale of Fame, which had everyone on their feets dancing and singing away! Absolute treat of a night, not to be missed!!!! Reviewed on Thursday 13th September

Aspects of Love (Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester)

29th Jul 18: Absolutely amazing production, perfectly cast and fantastic performers. I have seen this show more than a dozen times and never enjoyed it more. Such a shame that it isn’t either staying for longer or transferring to another theatre.

22nd Jul 18: This brilliant production should be kept here for much longer. How about a transfer if Hope Mill is not available for a longer run ? The Lowry ?

20th Jul 18: I saw this behind a pub in St Leonards, and I'd definitely recommend it. It's compelling, thought-provoking, interesting in structure and funny. The two actors are amazing and work really well together. Not to be missed, I'd say!

3rd Jul 18: I watched this show last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the female leads in the title roles, the energy of the cast and clarity of the lines. Brilliant all round

Miss Littlewood (Swan Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon)
3 Pete
29th Jun 18: Many good individual performances but the play didn’t come alive for me. It felt like a “luvvie fest” with too many PC and left wing cliches combined with typical RSC approach to casting. I left without really knowing anything of any depth about Mrs Littlewood. However I was probably in a minority as many in the audience appeared to be in raptures!!!

16th May 18: I saw this production in 2016 and it was beautiful. Full of laughter and lots of love. The acting was brilliant from everyone and the puppetry was (as usual from Kneehigh) top notch! Go and see the play, you won't be disappointed!

Monogamy
1 Guildford
13th May 18: Oh dear, MONOTONY would be a more appropriate title. I know the play is in early stage of production but it is slow and dis-jointed. Seems that a variety of current issues ranging from Syria to mental illness have been haphazardly put together with an element of farce. Easily the worst play we have seen in a very long time.

Ian Waite and Oti Mabuse - Rhythm of the Night
5 The Pilots wife
4th May 18: We saw Rhythm of the Night on The South Island 2nd May. A secret to me that Ian Waite is a natural comedic entertainer and presenter. Dancing a total given with the beautiful and multi talented Oti Mabuse. The supporting players, Mauris Mabuse and the young singer Lizzi did their job splendidly with Lizzi coming into her role as Ian's stooge in the Barry Manilow number. Again Ian not a singer but he belted out the song and held the notes with a lovely touch of campness.Laughed till the mascara ran darling. We had a fantastic evening so catch this show if you can. BBC don't let Ian Waite out of your sights, he should be presenting SCD at some point.

2nd May 18: Absolutely fantastic. I went to see Ian & Otti at Shanklin Theatre on the Isle of Wight with my daughter NIkki. I am a massive Strictly fan. I have seen many of the other dancers from Strictly - all brilliant - this show though was so much more than dancing. What an amazing personality Ian has - he should be looking at presenting. And Otti lovely to hear more about her & see her husband. Lizzy (the singer) was very good as well. I would thoroughly recommend going to this show. I will certainly be looking out for more shows from Ian & Otti. Thank you SO much
