As we head to the end of July, catch up on some of our most popular reads of the month….
Review of Your Lie in April at the Harold Pinter Theatre: catch up with our review of Nick Winston’s production based on the popular manga featuring music from Frank Wildhorn. Even if you aren’t familiar with the manga it is based on, it is still completely worth a watch.
Review The Box, White Bear Theatre: also this month saw us paying a long overdue visit to the White Bear Theatre to catch Brian Coyle’s domestic drama that is filled with raw emotion as couple attempt to deal with a tragedy. At just an hour long it covers a lot of big themes and does it well as our review says.
UK & Ireland release date confirmed for Firebrand: the new film starring Alicia Vikander as Katherine Parr with Jude Law as Henry VIII is based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s 2013 novel Queen’s Gambit and will be released later this year.
Review of Shania Twain at Hyde Park: earlier this month we had the joy of seeing Shania Twain performing live as part of the BST Hyde Park series of concerts and we shared a few thoughts on the concert.
Review round up of I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire at the Southwark Playhouse: now playing until the 10th August, find out what is being said about the UK premiere of Samantha Hurley‘s play with our review round up.
Review of The Trumpeter, Finborough Theatre: also this month saw us paying a visit to the Finborough Theatre to catch this harrowing tale set around the siege of Mariupol and the Azovstal steel works where many people took shelter from the bombs. This one woman show was certainly powerful to watch unfold.
Review round up of Starlight Express at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical is officially back in London and we took a look at what critics have had to say about its return.
Avenue Q special 18th anniversary concert announced: it was confirmed this month that the musical will return to London for two performances only in November, with the original London cast reuniting for the occasion!
