Here You Come Again
★★★☆☆ Unexpected
If you think you know what the Leeds Playhouse’s touring production of Here You Come Again will be like, think again. This is no standard jukebox musical and – while it does not all come off – it is a heartening and surprisingly emotional affair.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical
★★★☆☆ Visually impressive
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical is an impressive exhibition of theatrical skill that will satisfy fans of the story.
Charlie’s Edinburgh Ticket
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for Edinburgh Playhouse
Tickets go on sale on Friday April 22 for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical which is touring to Edinburgh for three weeks in April 2023.
Barber Shop Chronicles
★★★★☆ Razor sharp:
Barber Shop Chronicles, the production by Fuel, the UK National Theatre and Leeds Playhouse at the Lyceum, has a momentum that is impossible to resist.
Still Alice
★★★☆☆ Poignant:
The portrayal of early-onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice, touring to the King’s all week, will certainly resonate with many, thanks largely to Sharon Small’s magnetic central performance.
