The Snowman – Sadlers Wells 2025! I took my little two and their cousin to see The Snowman, the Sadlers Wells annual festive offering for children which never disappoints. A ballet for children, of this well known Raymond Briggs classic is a sure fire recipe for greatness, and yet it still amazes me as I well up with delight every year as how utterly magical it all is! The talented cast seem to effortlessly glide their way through the beautiful […]
Stick Man Live – 2025! Stick Man is back in his family tree for the 2025 festive season and after changing theatres last year, from the Leicester Square, to The Bloomsbury, they have clearly made the choice that the latter is a far better branch for these sticks to love for their run, and I agree! So, The Bloomsbury hosts the show for 2025, which I always say is the best children’s theatre I have ever seen. I’ve been reviewing […]
Plied And Prejudice In London! Plied and Prejudice hits off west end next Thursday, 20th of March with a run which sees their hilarious parody of the Austin classic through to the 18th of May at the Waterloo Vaults. Just 5 actors play all 20 parts as they invite you to join them in an immersive performance of a party at Pemberley for everyone! A chaotic, boozy ball ensues while the audience get to almost become a part of proceedings […]
Snow White At St George’s Theatre Great Yarmouth! Who knew that pantomime in a small theatre would be the very best pantomime of all?! Well, yes, I have to admit, I knew! But if you haven’t been privy to this piece of information yet, then take it from me and run with it. Sure, booking big theatres with big names as their stars can be fun, and there’s no two ways about it, ALL theatre is struggling financially so supporting […]
Cinderella Rocks 2024 – At The Garage Norwich! Cinderella Rocks is back at The Garage in Norwich for the 2024 panto season and for my money I’d choose it over the big theatres any time. Supporting small theatre is a beautiful thing, it helps support your community, but more than that, it’s just really, really good! A cast of three fiesta sisters, and this is the story of Cinders, now “Ella” as you’ve never seen her before (unless you saw […]
Stick Man Live 2024! Stick Man Live has been a stalwart of the London Christmas theatre scene for more than a decade a decade and I’ve been a consistent visitor to rvmeview for my blog. Itt never gets old, I, and my children (more importantly), love it every year and have failed to see how Freckle Productions could have made it any better – it’s simply brilliant. However, this year it does come back with a bit of an extra […]
The Thursford Christmas Spectacular and Enchanted Journey of Light 2024! The Thursford Christmas Spectacular – Well, what can we say, other than the description “does what it says on the tin” and couldn’t be more apt in that! Thursford is a year long plan in the making, which comes to fruition in November and positively blooms until Christmas. Until the 23rd of December, usually twice a day, this enormous masterpiece of a show, which has been setting Thursford alight for […]
Colonel Saab With Mrs Doubtfire Collaboration! Ok, I’m going to level with you, I LOVE the west end, but boy do I find getting affordable tickets hard work. I want to take the girls to Frozen before it closes, but, knowing it’s not just the theatre I’d have to pay for, there’s travel and food on top, it kind of makes it unobtainable unless I get a deal and believe me, getting into those ticket ballots is not for the […]
Once Upon A World At JW3! As a freelance writer and blogger, my job invites me to see a fair amount of theatre, mainly of the family variety but as a trained actress myself with a love for the genre, I tend to accept any invitation to review. It’s a real privilege to be asked my opinion and to be able to give it, even more so when I get to take my children along for the ride and their […]
Blippi The Wonderful World Tour! For the uninitiated to Blippi (devised and played by Stevin W. John) he is an American children’s entertainer who began his career on YouTube after John, in 2014, noticed his small nephew watching low quality videos on the platform. He knew he could do much better himself, so he did! Already familiar with the YouTube format from producing other types of content, he came into himself with his character Blippi, who has been entertaining children […]
