London: The Musicals
Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) ★★★★★ / Standing at the Sky’s Edge ★★★1/2 / Sister Act ★★★ / London Tide ★★1/2 I saw a bit of an odd-ball selection of musicals to be honest. Some were more experimental than others.

London: The Cine-theatre
Stranger Things: The First Shadow ★★★★ / The Picture of Dorian Gray ★★★★★ / Opening Night ★★ / ABBA: Voyage ★★★★. The collision of technology and the stage is nothing new but across all the shows I saw in London, a few used the blend of cameras, screens and live performance better than others.

Tell Me on a Sunday (Hayes Theatre) ★★★½
Erin Clare is remarkable in Lloyd Webber’s rather unremarkable musical.
-
Grease: The Musical (Capitol Theatre) ★★★1/2
When this production of Grease lets rip, it roars!
-
West Side Story (Handa Opera) ★★★★★
West Side Story is the musical theatre standard bearer for “all killer, no filler”.
-
Zombie! The Musical (Hayes) ★★★★★
This show has my heart, and it can eat it too if it likes. So, chookas to the Apocalypse!
-
Groundhog Day: The Musical (Princess Theatre) ★★★★★
This Australian production of Groundhog Day is the best the show has ever been, and that’s because of one brilliant performer… Elise McCann.
-
& Juliet (Lyric Sydney) ★★★★★
& Juliet is pure joy in musical form and even after three viewings I can’t wait for more.

35mm: A Musical Exhibition (Flight Path) ★★★★
35mm: A Musical Exhibition has the energy of noughties rock radio. So get ready for your girl-rock anthems, indie romance belters and quirky singer-songwriters all mixed with musical theatre storytelling.
