Review of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat – Richmond Theatre

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat falls firmly into the second category. The set isn’t bad at all for a touring production - almost completely devoid of video projections, there’s staging, costumes and props of various shapes and sizes to be admired, combined with some mesmerising lighting (Nick Richings).

Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story at Richmond Theatre
I’ve been working now for many, many years. At the end of time, whilst I am sure I will have had an effect on some people’s lives, would I be able to face my maker able to say that I had changed the course of entertainment forever? Probably not, but I know of a man who could and the musical show of his life is currently touring the country. The show is, of course, Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story and I caught it as it started its week at the Richmond Theatre. The show follows the career of Buddy … [Read more...]
