It’s an iconic film. She’s an iconic character. And she was portrayed by an iconic actor. Now, Mrs. Doubtfire, originated by the late, great Robin Williams, is back – this time on stage as a brand new musical. Does it do the film and Williams justice or will its tits burn up and ruin everything? Read my full review of the show here.
Three years after the long-awaited return of performing in the UK (or anywhere really) with “The X Tour” in 2019, Christina Aguilera is back again to promote her new Spanish-language album “Aguilera”. Most casual fans may not have ever known about the new music but there’s no forgetting it or Christina after seeing her live. Read my full review of her Liverpool show here.
It’s one of the most beloved Disney films of all time with one of the most loved/hated villains of all time. Now a brand new “101 Dalmatians” musical adaptation has hit the stage at Regent Park’s Open Air Theatre… But will it have people rolling over for more or people desperate to go for “walkies” instead?

The Chromatica Ball is the long-awaited concert tour by Lady Gaga that has had Little Monsters holding their breath to see for a couple of years now.

Michael Flatley’s “Lord of the Dance”, the biggest dance show of all time, is back to celebrate its 25th anniversary. With brand new music and a string of new dancers – including ones taking over from the legend himself in the title role – can it recapture the magic and audiences for its return to the stage?

Everyone’s favourite Norse superhero is back after a few years since he went off with the Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of “Avengers: Endgame”. This time Thor teams up with different heroes to defeat another new threat, one that specifically wants him killed. “Thor: Love and Thunder” is a very funny, slightly over-the-top and action-packed but emotionally charged adventure, which is a new direction for the MCU but continues to expand on the God of Thunder’s journey.

“Legally Blonde” is one of the defining comedies of the naughties. It was funny, camp and pink. But the musical is even funnier, camper and pinker. It’s a delightful peppy show that is sure to raise your spirits – even if the rain tries to dampen them while you’re at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre where I watched it. Read my review of it here.
It seems like 65 million years ago that “Jurassic Park” first wowed and scared us on the big screen, but it was in fact not even 30 years ago. Now, after four subsequent films, this franchise that has had its ups and downs, returns for the final time. But does “Jurassic World Dominion” go out with a bang like the dinosaurs did or crumble to the touch like an unpreserved fossil? Read my full review of it here.
Set in the 1930s and having first debuted during this decade, “Anything Goes” has earned its legacy as one of the oldest, long-running and most classic musicals of all time.
