New musical Beyond The Fence premieres at the Arts Theatre in February 2016, but the twist to this show is that it has been conceived and crafted by a computer. The secret to writing a successful musical has been the subject of much discussion over the years, and now a team of people have sought answers through technology with this experimental piece modelled on a statistical study of the ‘recipe’ for success’ in hit musicals. The study was conducted by Dr James Robert Lloyd, Dr Alex … [Read more...]

Vampire Hospital Waiting Room at the Arts Theatre – Review
With its flamboyant characters, perky musical numbers and frankly nutty plot, Vampire Hospital Waiting Room could have been just another hour of fun, forgettable studenty zaniness.

The script veers wildly between these … [Read more...]
Lovesong of the Electric Bear at The Arts Theatre London – Review
