Review of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical - Terry Eastham
If you only see one musical this year then, firstly you need to go out more and secondly get yourself to the Aldwych and, experience a show that will blow you away.

From humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her transformation into the global Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner didn’t just break the rules, she rewrote them. This new stage musical, presented in association with Tina Turner herself, reveals the untold story of a woman who dared to defy the bounds of her age, gender and race.
With a career that has spanned more than half a century, the legendary rock performer Tina Turner is one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. She first rose to fame in the 1960s partnering with her then-husband Ike Turner, achieving great acclaim for their live performances and catalogue of hits. Later, Turner enjoyed an international solo career with her 1984 album Private Dancer earning her widespread recognition and numerous awards, including three Grammys. She went on to deliver more chart-topping albums and hits, receiving a further eight Grammy Awards and reportedly selling more concert tickets than any other solo performer in history. The revered singer was introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 and has often been voted as one of the most successful female Rock ‘n’ Roll artists of all time.

Review of Dance ’til Dawn Aldwych Theatre London
I’m not really a ballroom dancing kind of guy. I have sometimes caught a bit of ‘Strictly’ (only because its followed by Dr Who) but, on the whole I don’t really know a Paso Doble from a Polka or a Waltz from a Quick-Step, and I have personally taken ‘Dad Dancing’ to new heights of cringe worthiness. Anyway, nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say, so off I went to the Aldwych Theatre to see Dance 'til Dawn which has arrived in London for a 10 week run as part of a highly successful … [Read more...]
Review of Stephen Ward The Musical – Aldwych Theatre
You can accuse Andrew Lloyd Webber of many things – you often do – but you can’t level the charge of uniformity at the subjects he chooses.

This could have been his own fault, if fault it was. But it was also the fault of a censorious old England not quite yet in its death throes as postwar morality gave ground … [Read more...]
