Hotel for Criminals at New Wimbledon Studio Theatre – Review
BUZZ! One of the questions I am sometimes asked about shows is whether there is one particular thing, good or bad, that stands out about a production, and will linger in my long term memory. BUZZ! This production of Hotel for Criminals likes to have a highly irritating buzzing noise, too loud and too long, to indicate a scene change. BUZZ! It got to the … [Read more...]

Highly energetic and fun-filled Keep Dancing – Review
At least the uncomfortably and unseasonably warm weather on the opening night of Keep Dancing at the New Wimbledon Theatre complemented the heat of the sizzling performance. Clearly as much of the available budget has been spent on the show itself: when I was handed a programme, it consisted of a single piece of A4 paper with a barely readable list of … [Read more...]
