Review of Britney Spears The Cabaret at the The Other Palace

September 7, 2017 Last updated: June 30, 2022 9:56 pm By Louise Amelia Czupich

A happier, more enthusiastic Britney audience would be extremely hard to find as we stream into Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gorgeous The Other Palace Theatre in anticipation of our evening at Britney Spears: The Cabaret. A solitary grand piano is set on stage underneath a tumbling waterfall chandelier; we settle into the intimately-packed cabaret seats, the majority of us clutching the night’s special offering, the Britney Fizz - pink prosecco. Britney’s back catalogue plays over the speakers, and … [Read more...]

Review of Paper Hearts at Upstairs at the Gatehouse

May 6, 2017 Last updated: October 8, 2019 12:47 am By Louise Amelia Czupich

Paper Hearts Tim Hall Photography

Fresh from an extremely successful run at both the Edinburgh Fringe and Waterloo East Theatre, Paper Hearts transfers into the beautiful venue Upstairs at the Gatehouse. The theatre itself is gorgeous, nestled on top of the quaintest pub in the middle of Highgate - the perfect venue to host this upcoming, home-grown British musical, which works so beautifully in the intimate space. As an audience, we feel as though we’re being let in on a delicious little secret, as we filter upstairs from … [Read more...]

Stepping Out at the Vaudeville Theatre – Review

March 14, 2017 Last updated: May 7, 2019 11:02 pm By Louise Amelia Czupich

As one of the most prolific and successful writers for British stage and screen, and despite his various other huge successes, Richard Harris’ ‘Stepping Out’ still stands today as a truly delicious slice of comedy writing. It is known that the inspiration for the play came from Harris’ late wife, the actress Hilary Crane, who suggested he come down to sit in on her local dance class, as she believed there might be ‘a play in it for him’ - and so Stepping Out was born. Staged at the majestic … [Read more...]

NYT 60th Anniversary Season – Pigeon English – Review

September 29, 2016 Last updated: July 12, 2019 10:19 pm By Louise Amelia Czupich

Pigeon English

The world-renowned National Youth Theatre commemorate their 60th Diamond anniversary with an impressive trio of performances from this year’s rep company. This year’s talented group of diverse youths selected to form 2016’s ‘rep’ take on the roles in all three of the cleverly constructed pieces - Romeo and Juliet, DNA and Pigeon English, with the gorgeous Ambassadors Theatre as our setting for all three shows.

Review of 27: The Rise of a Falling Star at The Cockpit Theatre

September 13, 2016 Last updated: July 12, 2019 10:26 pm By Louise Amelia Czupich

27 New Musical poster

Sam Cassidy’s provocatively genius creation 27: The Rise of a Falling Star explodes into the intimate fringe space at The Cockpit Theatre, Marylebone, with the kind of stomping energy and vibrant presence of a new production that has ‘here to stay’ written all over it. World-renowned director and choreographer Arlene Philips lends her stellar expertise as director to this smashing new rock musical, having been impressed from the get go by early demos of the score played to her by Cassidy. The … [Read more...]

5-star The Perfect Murder at The Churchill Theatre Bromley – Review

February 11, 2016 Last updated: August 30, 2019 6:08 pm By Louise Amelia Czupich

The Perfect Murder

Darkly comical and hilariously macabre, The Perfect Murder has us hooked from the moment we see our protagonist Victor complaining to a prostitute about the state of his desolate marriage. Life would surely be easier if he had his wife killed; and so the seeds of his twisted plan are sown. Victor is compellingly portrayed by the enigmatic Shane Ritchie, husband of twenty years to Joan, artfully played by the effervescent Jessie Wallace. Domestic life is fraught, and we are invited into their … [Read more...]

La bohème at Clapham Opera Festival – Review

November 23, 2015 Last updated: May 13, 2018 5:31 pm By Louise Amelia Czupich

La Boheme

The Clapham Opera Festival is a celebration of stunning classical music and talented musicians and artists, delivered in a way that is both engaging and professional but also intimate and relatable due to two things; the intelligent staging, and the prowess of the carefully selected cast. Puccini's much-loved romantic opera La Boheme is staged at the Clapham Church of the Holy Spirit, a beautiful venue where the atmosphere was alive and buzzing on the evening of Friday 20th. The tale of … [Read more...]
