Come From Away at the Phoenix Theatre | Review

[Come From Away] shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.

The Women in Black at the Fortune Theatre

The Woman in Black has been playing at The Fortune theatre consecutively since 1989 and has recently celebrated its 12,000th performance!  Like many I first watched this production initially as a teenager on a school trip so I headed back this week to see if it is still as fear-inducing as I recall as it …

Chicago is a musical staple in theatres around the world, bouncing from city to city with its catchy songs, titillating costumes and wicked wit.  Its latest incarnation has come to London recently with music stars Alexandra Burke taking on the role of Roxy Heart and Duncan James in the role of Billy Flynn.  I headed …
