Justine Mitchell and Sam Troughton reprise their critically acclaimed roles as singletons Laura and Danny, in this season's must-see smash-hit; a tender and funny story about the … [Read more...]

All Or Nothing Musical | All Or Nothing London | Ambassadors Theatre
1965. A new phenomenon erupted out of London's East End. It was the essence of all that was cool. It was Mod. All Or Nothing - The Mod Musical follows the rise and demise of Small Faces, the band who encapsulated all that was mod - a unique blend of taste and testosterone, clothes-obsessed and street-wise - but most of all, a dedication to rhythm 'n' blues. This stunning new home-grown musical celebrates the unique mod sound including an arsenal of brilliant hits like Whatcha Gonna Do … [Read more...]
Review of The Very Hungry Caterpillar at the Ambassadors Theatre
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has arrived at The Ambassadors Theatre for a limited 5-week run. This colourful, charming and gentle 60-minute show is perfect for children under five. Despite the title, the show is actually an adaptation of four of Eric Carle’s classic books for children: The Artist who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse, The Very Lonely Firefly and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. All of the stories are distinctive and feature exquisite puppets made by The Puppet Kitchen and … [Read more...]
Review of National Youth Theatre’s production of Jekyll and Hyde
Two different productions in two days by the same young cast of 16 on the same stage. This is a significant undertaking by the most experienced of actors so for a group of young performers to attempt it is very impressive - and they have succeeded in the task. This adaptation turns the story of Jekyll and Hyde on its head. Rather than following the story that is well known, this “reimagining” focuses on Mrs. Jekyll, one year after Dr. Jekyll’s death. The story still utilises the … [Read more...]
Review of 13 The Musical at the Ambassadors Theatre
It’s such a good thing that the British Theatre Academy is giving so many young performers the chance to shine on a West End stage. They’ve done it before and I’m quietly confident they’ll do so again. For this production of Jason Robert Brown’s 13 The Musical, 19 characters are played by a total of 47 performers throughout the run. Beyond that, as the cast photos are not accompanied by their names in the show’s programme, it is quite impossible to say for definite who was played by whom. No … [Read more...]

Review of CAT – (THE PLAY!!!) at The Ambassadors Theatre
Somewhere on the spectrum between a love letter and Dear John letter to the world of musical theatre, Cat - (The Play!!!), is a homage to Broadway and to the icons who have made the genre great. A tribute to theatre “not straight theatre, real theatre… musical theatre” Damien Tracey Productions have delivered a production that is a banquet of comedy, nostalgia, heart and perhaps even a little bit of horror! To put it simply, this is one of the best pieces of theatre I have seen in London, or … [Read more...]
