Beauty And The Beast from Northern Ballet

After my first visit to see a full ballet, Romeo And Juliet, I was wondering whether they were all as good as that. Beauty And The Beast has convinced me that they probably are! Once again I was in awe of the performers, the orchestra and the creatives. Not being a regular ballet buff, I…

Here You Come Again at Leeds Playhouse

We Leeds theatregoers are currently going through a purple patch insofar as shows are concerned. From the phenomenal Come From Away, with its cast of thousands, through Common Ground performed by four travelling players in a fish and chip restaurant, the best adaptation of a Nineties romcom in Pretty Woman and now Here You Come…

Common Ground from Mikron Theatre Company at Wetherby Whaler, Guiseley.

This has to be one of my favourite events of the year, not only do I love the way in which Mikron reaches out to the people who, by choice or circumstance, would never go anywhere near a theatre, but also it is performed in a fish and chip restaurant, so win/win. Mikron tours the…

Pretty Woman – The Musical at Leeds Grand Theatre

Since lockdown there has been a succession of musicals derived from hit films, which have ranged from OK to WTF, this one, however, is definitely an OMG! It is a romcom which, for once, lives up to both sections of the portmanteau word, in that it is both romantic and a comedy. The story is…

Sounds of Spring Concert from Opera North at Howard Assembly Room

Regular readers will know how much I enjoy Opera North’s lunchtime concerts at Dewsbury Town Hall – the next one is The Romantic Violin on Wednesday, 15th May – well, here we had a bonus edition at Howard Assembly Room in Leeds. The starting time was a little earlier, being 11.00am and instead of sandwiches,…

Come From Away at Leeds Grand Theatre

This might not be the best way to begin a review, but over the past eighteen months or so, I have had some health issues which, apart from the physical aspects, have had a psychological effect on me, sapping my enthusiasm to such an extent I was seriously thinking of retiring from writing altogether. Being…

Brandenburg Concerto No.3 at Dewsbury Town Hall

Well, this was a surprise. Normally the lunchtime concerts at this venue comprise small groups of musicians but today the Orchestra of Opera North pulled out all the stops and fielded a team of seventeen players. I was really pleased as this is one of my favourite pieces of classical music. In fact, it was…

Jennie Lee at Bingley Arts Centre

Typical, you wait years for a musical about a woman politician then two come along at once. After last week’s show about Shirley Chisholm, we now have this one about Jennie Lee, who served as a Labour Member of Parliament having two terms in office; first from 1929 until 1931 and then from 1945 until…

Kay Mellor’s The Syndicate at Leeds Grand Theatre

Here I am, back at Leeds Grand Theatre for a second tv show transfer to the stage. Unlike Drop The Dead Donkey, this is not a case of getting the band back together, rather a play based on the original idea of a group of supermarket workmates winning the lottery. Having said that, it is…

Chisholm For President! at Slung Low Warehouse.

Slung Low Warehouse is a comparatively new performance space in Holbeck, having moved from Holbeck Working Men’s Club, where they used to put on shows on a Pay What You Decide basis. This philosophy is continued here and at their other new space, Slung Low at Temple. It is very basic being – surprise, surprise…
