Shrek is a brilliant animation turned musical about an Ogre who sets off on a quest (with a talkative donkey) to save a feisty princess locked in a tower. Throw in a gang of fairytale misfits and a Lord with a small (haha) problem and you have a SHREKTASTIC show.

Thirdly, I had never seen ANY Monty Python before. I've heard a few Spamalot tunes as an avid musical theatre fan, but no actual clips starring the orginal actors. So, this is a short review from a Monty Novice. IMAGE CREDIT: http://www.cinemanova.com.au/ Sixthly, I was excited that I recognised one actor! FYI, it was Basil Faulty.  Firstly, OK, so it was very odd....

N.B. This is not an extract from the play. It is an original piece that I wrote.  Date - May 1957 Location - KDAV Radio Station, Lubbock, Texas, USA EXT. KDAV Building Front.  The radio station is a small brick building with two large white windows and an overhead shade coloured with red and white stripes. A large sign is placed above the...

*Say in a Southern American drawl* Fancy a knees up? A healthy hoe down? A rootin' tootin' good time? If you answered yes, then hell, this is the musical for you! IMAGE CREDIT: www.publicreviews.com It is a simple story about poor uneducated Annie, who happens to be a hell of a shot with a gun, and her 'shooting' rise to fame. But will...

The Bourbon Room, 1987.   On entry you're greeted by boobylicious live singers and staff rockin' bandanas. The buzz hits you and you'll start itching for the show.

This is the crazy yet genius combination of theatre in the cinema. It's been all the rage for a while now and I finally got my first taste of it, and with an award winning production like War Horse, I was pretty excited.

Image Credit: www.orchardtheatre.co.uk Does your partners out of tune humming piss you off? Or their inhumanly loud chewing? Maybe the constant snoring is unbearable? Well forget couples counselling, what you need is to commit the perfect murder! Conspiring is the best bit and yes, Google is a great tool for that but why not do it whilst socialising. After all, mixing business with...

So, as a gift (because I'm lovely like that) I took my twin sister to her favourite musical, West Side Story at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. A twist on the tale as old as time classic, Romeo & Juliet. Image Credit: http://westsidestorytheshow.co.uk/gallery A boy meets girl story. But boy can't have girl. So lots of anger and murder happen through the medium...

I actually won tickets to see this play in a Twitter competition! So firstly, thank you to Victoria Theatre, Halifax for picking me. Pleasantries over, lets get on to a quick review of Teechers by John Godber. Firstly, yes it is called 'Teechers' with a double 'e'. My spelling and grammar might not be perfect but that is definitely a word I've used...

I am a little late to the party, OK two months late but lets lock that tardiness into a box and focus on the wonder that is the Slava Snow Show. This is an unforgettable experience, I won't call it a show as you do not sit back and simply watch actors on stage, you physically and emotionally experience this event. This shows...
