‘He’s Here…’ The Phantom of the Opera, His Majesty’s Theatre, London 10.04.2024

A rare Wednesday off work, daughter in nursery and a friends birthday! Like I was going to miss a chance to catch a cheeky matinee but also enjoy a mummy day off and treat a friend to a great musical in London! Especially when a personal favourite is the leading man! The Phantom of the […]

‘I Love Him, But Only On My Own’ – Les Misérables, Sondheim Theatre, London 07.02.2023

This viewing had been on my priority list being one of my favourite performers was the lead and just announced his final date. It was also a show that if I didn’t go and see, my theatre friend Hayleigh whom I sadly lost the year before would be very upset if I didn’t go. So […]

All I Need is…’ Six the Musical, Vaudeville Theatre, London 04.11.2023

Now this musical is one that I had been desperate to see, but due to its high demand the chance of a press night was slim – because it sold, very well! Then with a little one to look after a trip to London was slim too, but this year I was getting married…and when […]

‘Please sir, I want some more’ Oliver! – Gielgud Theatre, London. 17.12.24

I am privileged and proud to say that I have seen a lot of productions at the West End, but in the many years I’ve been going since childhood I don’t ever remember making it to see Oliver! So, when they announced that the successful revival from the Chichester Festival Theatre to the Gielgud Theatre […]

‘Make me a woman’ – Mrs. Doubtfire, Shaftsbury Theatre, London. 14.12.2023

Like most 90s children, I grew up on a steady diet of Robin Williams comedy roles, and Mrs. Doubtfire was a strong favourite. I had slightly mixed feelings about it being made into a musical. What songs could they devise to fit this comedy? And who on earth would ever be able to fill those […]

‘The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside’ – Frozen, Theatre Royal Drury Lane 04.11.23

It had been a while since I hit the West End, and with the break while we waited in anticipation for them to finish building Orchard West in Dartford, I was feeling seriously theatre deprived. Thankfully my sister stepped up and volunteered to take me to see Frozen for my birthday (I’d only been begging […]

‘It’s just like a West End musical but funnier and also doesn’t have Michael Ball in it.’ – Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image the Musical, Phoenix Theatre, London. 08.08.23

The title of this post, taken from the musical’s website, summarises this one pretty aptly. Need I say more? I wasn’t alive when Spitting Image first aired on TV in the 80s, but I dimly recall my parents laughing hysterically whilst watching it when I was young. The epitome of political satire, its revival seems […]

‘C’est magnifique Hooky Street’ – Only Fools and Horses Musical, Royal Theatre Haymarket, London. 26.04.23

Only Fools and Horses will always hold a special place in my heart. I dimly remember watching the Christmas specials as a child, and as one of my Dad’s favourite shows we watched many a re-run of the series. But even coming from that favourable standpoint, I struggled to see how they would make it […]

‘Some Journey’s Take us Far From Home, Some Adventures Lead Us to Our Destiny’ The Lion, Witch & Wardrobe, The Gillian Lyne Theatre, London 06.01.2023

Rose Reviewer Harri Douglas kick started her 2023, with her first viewing in London this year! The lucky show was The Lion Witch & Wardrobe! lets see what she thinks: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is possibly my all-time favourite book from my childhood, andwhen I saw it advertised at the Gillian Lynne […]

‘You’re The Voice’ Choir of Man, Arts Theatre, London 07.12.2022

Guest RoseBlogger Harri Douglas, headed into London to catch a few shows last December before the year was out! First up was Choir of Man: To be brutally honest, I was not especially looking forward to this one. Of all the shows I want to see it wasn’t in my top ten, possibly not even […]
