THE UNFRIEND, Criterion Theatre, #London
Directing, Mark Gatiss keeps the action moving as perfectly executed physical comedy ensures the laughs just keep coming - a scatalogical routine with a policeman is comedy gold. You’ll cry laughing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Barber, together with Reece Shearsmith (a Fawlty-esque Peter) and Amanda Abington (a deliciously dry Debbie) are a dream team. And Gabriel Howell throws in a scene stealing turn as young Alex. No weak links here.

Irreverent and irresistible @francesbarber13’s Elsa is a triumph of nuance and knowing in #StephenMoffat’s uproariously farcical comedy of manners, #TheUnfriend, a pointed commentary on the world today.

If the staging is minimal, it’s all the better for that, allowing hits like Sherry, Walk Like A Man and December 1963, not forgetting Bye Bye Baby, to achieve their full impact.
As Frankie sings, ‘Oh What A Night…’

A tight cast work hard throughout, many doubling up on roles, to make this a fast paced, slickly delivered production with stand out turns from Ryan Heenan as Valli, Blair Gibson as Bob Gaudio and Christopher Short as Nick Massi.

It’s the ultimate feel-good show with easily some of the best pop songs ever written but Jersey Boys is so much more than a jukebox musical and that’s down to the humanity of the story of Frankie Valli and his Four Seasons.

With a soaring score that swaddles you in the emotion of the piece and holds you tight in its embrace, this musical will make you laugh, cry and, ultimately, hope. A must see masterclass.

Telly Leung matches his co-star line for line and move for move in this tale of love, fear of ‘the other’, and common humanity, which speaks as much to the world today as to the period in which it is set.

Star Trek icon George Takei delivers a mesmerising masterclass in ‘being’ in this beautiful, devastating piece of musical theatre that explores a dark and almost forgotten shameful period of US history.

Arm in arm with #JohnBishop as hubby Vic, McKellen and the Scouser become an unexpectedly endearing couple through the rapport created by @JOJEHARVEY’s delicious repartee and @CalMcCrystal’s sympathetic direction.

Hugely warm and brazenly bonkers, with a witty script, evocative staging and the most generous of sweetie showers, @IanMcKellen’s return to #panto as ‘Mother’ Caroline Goose is an egg-stravagant 24 carat cracker.

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, @LondonPalladium.
Outrageously spectacular, the latest @PalladiumPanto from @MHARRISON_ENT is a star-studded, eye-popping, raucous celebration of all things pantomime, an extravaganza to lift the soul and leave a smile on the face.

Likewise, @JulianClary is on eye-wateringly funny form as the Spirit of the Beans, cue an array the most astounding costumes in pantoland and without even mentioning his breath-taking Beanstalk! Go see!

From the delightfully dotty ‘King’ @NigelHaversUK to the effervescent ‘Queen’ @garywilmotactor, Palladium favourites shine but none more brightly than #DawnFrench as Dame Trott, an overtly maternal force of nature.

If you’re swithering about seeing #Salamander at the @VAULTFestival in #London. Here’s my #ThreeTweetReview from its #EdFringe run to help you make up your mind.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👇🏻

SALAMANDER, @GreensideVenue Riddles Court, #EdFringe
Despite its billing, #Salamander references the unsolved murder of Edinburgh sex worker Shiela Anderson but momentarily, it is however, a lucid snapshot of the brutal and desperate world she inhabited.
