Bridewell Theatre London EC4Y 8EQ - Reviews

You Can't Take It With You - Sedos Photos

Bridewell Theatre is a thriving off-west end venue built over the City of London’s first swimming pool. This versatile space plays host to a range of production companies throughout the year and can also be transformed into a truly atmospheric ballroom, a magical cabaret venue or conference space. Early booking essential.

The Victorian glass lantern roof, viewing gallery and changing rooms remain in situ giving this historic venue a dramatic and surreal atmosphere. The tiled swimming pool itself is also still in place underneath the seating, accessible via a floor hatch.

Review of Pippin at the Bridewell Theatre London

May 11, 2018 Last updated: May 13, 2018 9:59 pm By Terry Eastham

Pippin: Credit Michael Smith

In the year 769, the great King Charlemagne welcomed his first born son into the world. Quite a lot is known about the child, but this is not some boring history lesson, as in the mid-1960s composer Stephen Schwartz decided the son’s story was an ideal subject for a musical. A few years later, and with a book a by Roger O. Hirson, the show was born. Its name is Pippin and is currently being given a well deserved run out by Sedos at the Bridewell Theatre. Narrated by the Leading Player (Corin … [Read more...]

Review of You Can’t Take it With You at the Bridewell Theatre

April 11, 2018 Last updated: October 7, 2019 11:00 pm By Chris Omaweng

You Can't Take It With You - Sedos Photos

What a pleasurable and delightful play this is. I could go on at length about certain aspects in this production of You Can’t Take It With You that don’t make a lot of sense, but rather like The Addams Family, the eccentricities are what make the characters in this bizarre and chaotic - but nonetheless hilarious- so compelling and unique. I should qualify that comparison: Paul (Mark Watson Gray) and Penny Sycamore (Dara Seitzman) and their extended family are merely quirky, rather than … [Read more...]

Review of Dogfight the musical at the Bridewell Theatre

March 9, 2018 Last updated: May 8, 2019 3:03 pm By Fiona Scott

Dogfight the musical - Photo credit Michael Smith

Before The Greatest Showman, before Dear Evan Hansen and even before La La Land, composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul wrote Dogfight, based on the 1991 film of the same name, about a group of marines on their last night on the town in San Francisco in 1963 before being shipped out to Vietnam. Their songs paired with a book by Peter Duchan resulted in the creation of Dogfight the musical, which is currently being performed in an amateur production by London's Stock Exchange Dramatic and Operatic … [Read more...]

Review of Arnika by Théâtre Volière at the Bridewell Theatre

February 7, 2018 Last updated: May 9, 2018 5:26 pm By Terry Eastham

Arnika - Image by Tom Crooke/Bobbin Productions

In these days of Brexit and Trump, knowing which country a person is from seems to be more and more relevant than before, so where are you from? I’m British, I have a friend who is Australian, another is American and so on. Simple, I have my identity and so do you. Now imagine that you were from an area of the Europe where your nationality has not just changed hands once but since 450 BC, has actually switched ‘locations’ seventeen times, and since 1900 has been seen a change of owner four … [Read more...]
