Murder for Two at the Other Palace

If I’ve learnt one thing in 2019 it’s that I don’t hate musical theatre like I’ve always told myself I do!  With shows like Hamelton, Heathers and Eugenius making their way into my heart this year it might be time to admit that my love of theatre isn’t just limited to plays.  It seems fitting therefore that my last theatre …

Bat Out of Hell at the Dominion Theatre

In the musical theatre world you usually know what you are getting when a musical is set around a pop artist’s work.  Usually aimed at the fans of the artist in question this is usually involved a thin story linking the songs together with a minimal set and a ‘feel good’ focus that makes these …
