Into the Woods
★★★★★ Dark
Bare Productions go hard on Into the Woods, James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s popular mashup of fairytales, to expose its utter cruelty and the callousness of many of the favourite pantomime heroes that people the musical.
Footloose
★★★☆☆ Nostalgic:
There are some decidedly impressive production numbers in the Bohemians’ production of Footloose at the King’s. Add in some excellent singing and you have a show that will please a lot of people with fond memories of the 1980s.
9 to 5 The Musical
✭✭✭✭✩ Fun and emotion:
Rollicking and rumbustious, but with surprisingly deep reservoirs of emotion, the Bohemians’ production of 9 to 5 The Musical at the King’s is a definite hit.
