[TWE @ThingsWeEnjoy]

RVW - ‘Richard II’ at the @_bridgetheatre
(★★★★★)

“A moody, gripping adaptation of lesser-known Shakespeare… Jonathan Bailey’s maddening, mercurial tour-de-force proves one of the most exciting and unpredictable performances in London right now.”

RVW | @yellowbrickroad at @WolvesGrand (★★★★)

"A glitzy, sparkling ruby slipper of a show... wholesome, family-friendly entertainment on a scope and scale of which will likely have you clicking your heels to go back and absorb it all over again."

RVW | @CluedoStagePlay at @thealexbham (★★)

"A disappointing step down from the first... Boyce, Buckland and Horrigan put in great turns, but ultimately deserve better than a ‘whodunnit?’ that ends up feeling more ‘who cares?’"

RVW | @Grease_UK at @TheAlexBham (★★★★★)

"Foster, Phillips and company serve up a lightning rod of musical theatre energy good times as they, and a full throttle company, a deliver a Grease that is *the* word in how to re-stage a classic."

Some snaps from the Rydell yearbook… from an automatic, systematic, hydrostatic press night for @Grease_UK at @thealexbham! 🚗⚡️💃🏼🕺🏽🍔🎶

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

Tearing a page right outta the Rydell yearbook tonight… @Grease_UK is the word at @thealexbham tonight! ! 🚗⚡️🏫 💃🏼🕺🏽

‘Tell me more, tell me more!’, I hear y’all cry… well, you’ll have to wait for my full review, you impatient bunch o’ T-Birds and Pink Ladies!

RVW | 'Unfortunate' at @WolvesGrand (★★★★)

One final dive into the nautical naughtiness of 'Unfortunate' as it concludes its tour this week with a big, bawdy sucker punch of a visit to Wolverhampton...

RVW | 'The School for Scandal' (★★★★)

"A neon jolt of colourful, characterful fun... carried on performances that are writ as large as any of its grand, decadent costumes."

RVW | @HamiltonWestEnd at @brumhippodrome (★★★★★)

"Let the superlatives fly – 'Hamilton' is every inch the masterpiece you have been told... a stunning, tireless explosion of musical invention and storytelling writ large."

https://t.co/udaM30IizT

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

So thrilled that I’m *finally* going to be in the room where it happens… it’s press night for @HamiltonWestEnd at @brumhippodrome! 🇺🇸⭐️🎭

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

RVW | 'Kyoto' at @TheRSC (★★★★)

"Important, timely theatre that speaks to the frailty of geoplitical agreement & the unifying power of compromise at once... a gripping, tense and sobering dance of debate, disagreement and deeply human drama."

https://t.co/XfyAd9E51Q

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

The delegate from United Kingdom would like to interject!

Wonderful to be at press night for ‘Kyoto’ at @theRSC tonight.

Timely, resonant and gripping, it’s also a sobering treatise on the toxifying power of vested interests against the unifying power of agreement & compromise.

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

RVW | 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' at @theRSC (★★★★★)

"The RSC romp home with another infectious, hilarious treat... Blanche McIntyre’s spritely, colourful new production offers up a slice of summery, suburban silliness too side-splitting to miss."

https://t.co/JQeuAac0mX

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

The world’s mine oyster, tonight… for ‘tis press night of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ at @theRSC! 🎭😎🤣

(Oh, and… he WISHES! 💍😂)

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

RVW | @ComeFromAwayUK at @BrumHippodrome (★★★★★)

"A modern marvel of a musical... a stellar company & razor-sharp direction bring this ode to human fortitude and kindness to dazzling, stomping, rhythmic life."

https://t.co/aRC2ZYrEnx

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

“This is one of the shows we have been most excited about in our programme…”

“Birmingham is still the best place to be culturally…”

@brumhippodrome CEO, @Jon_Gilchrist, addressing attendees at the press night of @ComeFromAwayUK. 👩‍✈️💙💛💙

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

RVW | 'Withnail and I' at @BirminghamRep (★★★)

"A fastidiously faithful adaptation of a cult favourite. Sheehan and Siddique turn in spirited performances, but Foley’s final outing at the Rep feels little more than a colourful imitation game."

[Kyle Pedley @KyleBPedley]

RVW | @SisterActSocial at @BrumHippodrome (★★★★)

"Oshinowo and sisters continue to rock the pews in a feel-good touring production that, whilst by no means a revelation, still proves itself to be a perfectly enjoyable evening of joyful noise."
