Theatre Review | American Idiot – The Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
It's the show's 10-year anniversary, and American Idiot is on its UK tour. This week it arrived at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre for a few days, and I was lucky enough to go to the press night to review the production.
My top 10 theatre productions of 2018
2018 was my year of theatre. I don't think I've ever seen so many shows in my life! Here are 10 of my favourite (mainly regional) theatre productions from 2018.
Theatre Review | Dick Whittington – The Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
This year's Mayflower pantomime is even better than the last and is definitely one of the best I've had the pleasure of seeing. It is a truly classic production.
Theatre Review | Shrek the Musical – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Shrek the Musical turns the mixed-up, topsy-turvy fairytale into an all-singing, all dancing musical comedy, with all our favourite characters, jokes, and storylines.
Theatre Review | La Traviata, Welsh National Opera – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
I was swept along by La Traviata and its sumptuous and sorrowful storyline.
Theatre Review | Six – Nuffield Southampton Theatres
A musical that masquerades as a pop concert, telling the stories of each of Henry VIII's six wives? I am THERE.
Theatre Review | Manon, The English National Ballet – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
The English National Ballet has brought Manon to Southampton's Mayflower Theatre for just four days, before it heads to the London Coliseum in January. This production is rarely toured in the UK, and so this really is an exciting opportunity to see something different!
Theatre Review | The Animals and Children Took To The Streets – Nuffield Southampton Theatres
In keeping with the Halloween feel that comes with the end of October, an eerie, dark and unusual show has arrived in Southampton.
Theatre Review | Fup: A Modern Fable – Nuffield Southampton Theatres
I'll be honest, I had no idea what to expect when I sat down in the theatre, but I found myself partying, laughing and even shedding a few more tears than planned at a surprisingly emotional ending.
