Great songs, good pace and very entertaining
Victoria Palace Theatre
I have love for this show – great songs and it just whips through and is entertaining – just feels a bit dated and tired compared to some of the newer stuff.

Starlight Express
Totally and utterly bonkers – but thien it is immensely talented people singing and dancing on rollerskates
Trubador Wembley – Until 31 May
Totally and utterly bonkers – seen it 3 times with the children now – I think it makes even less sense (story wise) than ever – but it is about immensely talented people singing and dancing on rollerskates – and it delivers on that in spades – closing soon – some good ticket deals.

Play That Goes Wrong
Executes the “bad play” concept almost to perfection
Duchess Theatre
I think this does the “bad play” idea almost to perfection – they don’t miss a gag, everything supports the world, and you have running gags and callbacks throughout – very well executed – especially good if you have children in tow.

Operation Mincemeat
A strong fringy feel but with West End quality and slickness – very well done and great fun.
Fortune Theatre
I saw this in previews – I loved it and it was obvious it would go on to have a long and successful life – I would definitely recommend, especially for anyone into the Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, patter song comedy stuff, and the frenetic multi-roling (and that also being part of the comedy. It has a strong fringy feel but with West End quality and slickness – very well done. However, it won’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea and it is quite high-energy. Definitely worth considering though..
