⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WAR HORSE
at National Theatre, Olivier.

The show stands as a rip-roaring and astounding achievement in theatre and (bizarrely) looks fresher and more vibrant than it did nearly 20 years ago.

Catching some evening rays after the earlier thunderstorms, while awaiting the off for the latest outing of WAR HORSE at the National Theatre.

@alunjohnhood Ridiculous behaviour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE P WORD opened
at Bush Theatre.

The comedy and playful nuances of the pacy script, enable us to indulge in optimism as we root for this unlikely couple.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BEETLEJUICE: THE MUSICAL
At Prince Edward Theatre.

"Tomb it may concern: it would be a grave mistake to miss seeing BEETLEJUICE: THE MUSICAL. It's dead good. Snuff said!"

@BestMovieMom Absolute travesty. Worst decision in recent living memory.

[Stuart King, Head Reviewer, London Box Office. @StuartReviews]

It’s gala night at BEETLEJUICE at Prince Edward.

Pre-set a drink with old chums Andrew McBean and the irrepressible Biggins before the off. Limos (hearses) at midnight!

⭐️ DADA MASILO’S HAMLET
at Sadler’s Wells.

A rare 1 star review from me. The espoused intention was commendable and sounded interesting and intriguing. Unfortunately, the execution was lamentable.

@BhattiLaib9960 Chronic gun crime and an appetite for the worst mortality statistics as a result.

An interesting read about the largely forgotten Ivor Novello.
