Shows I loved
Camp, hilarious, and incredibly cheesy - the perfect night at the theatre to have fun and laugh for 90 minutes!
Titanique the Musical
Such a fun show with music from Dolly Parton (and an excellent “appearance” from her as well). Saw the touring production, and really enjoyed it!
Here You Come Again - The new musical featuring the hits of ...
One of my favorite jukebox musicals! Such a fun idea for a show, and the songs fit seemlessly into the story
& Juliet
Such a fun show - loved finally getting to see it and all of the dance breaks!
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Such a clever way to stage a piece of theatre and you really feel like you're in a court room. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a unique piece of theatre!
Witness for the Prosecution - London
A beautiful production of Fiddler, and I'm so glad I got to see it after missing the production at Regent's Park last year!
Fiddler on the Roof
Admittedly only got to see 75% of it (rain cancelled the end), but this is such a funny and feel good show!
Shucked
Roller skating, singing, and dancing?! A perfect trio on stage - this show is so impressive and fun
Starlight Express • London
Mischief have done it again with another hilarious show - I think this is their best one yet! Such a clever show, and in my opinion, the funniest show on the west end right now
The Comedy About Spies - London - Noël Coward Theatre
A beautiful show that touches on some hard topics, but it's done incredibly well!
Till the Stars Come Down - at Theatre Royal Haymarket
A stunning piece of theatre that masters the art of puppetry and takes it to a new level - it feels like they've brought actual horses onstage!
War Horse (play)
A beautiful musical in a magical setting!
Brigadoon - Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
An absurdly outrageous production, but in all the right ways! Incredible dance numbers and a lot of confetti, plus so much laughter!
Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS
Such a fun and cute production - an absolute classic for a reason and it's so well done! Ostentatious set, great costumes, and incredible vocals too
Oliver
Such a fun, feel good show! I didn't know what to expect, and it was so well done, and perfect for people who are massive fans of Steps or people like me who don't know any of their music!
HERE & NOW | The Steps Musical
Shows I enjoyed, but didn't love
Jamie Lloyd has put his spin on this version of much ado full of pink confetti and minimal set - not my favorite interpretation, but I love seeing new ways of telling the story!
Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing - LW Theatres
A fun night at the theatre with a quick show (an hour for each act), but as with a lot of jukebox musicals, sometimes the songs were shoehorned in (although they did it in a cheesy way)
Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical
A fun show, although I could've done with listening to the songs beforehand! The story doesn't have much substance, but it still makes for a good night at the theatre
Calamity Jane the Musical | UK & Ireland Tour 2025
I did enjoy this show, but I felt like it was just missing something… the acting was fab, and it's an interesting story!
Born with Teeth | London West End Play | Wyndham's Theatre
The dancing in the first act is incredible, but the nonexistent plot lets the show down in the second act when the dance numbers slow
Top Hat The Musical | UK Tour
I imagine if you were a Percy Jackson kid that this would be such great fun, but as I wasn't, it wasn't as impactful for me. Still a fun show to see, and some of the effects were cleverly done!
