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 […]
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 […]
A Pinocchio Adventure! What happens after Pinocchio becomes a real boy? Or a real person rather, as the cast of “A Pinocchio Adventure” refer to him at their all festive, fun and immersive theatrical experience for children aged 5 and over this Christmas season?! Well, you can find out at The Garage this December as this sequel version, produced by the team behind the “My First…” productions (of which they also have an offering for pre-schoolers – read more about […]
My First – The Night Before Christmas! The My First production of the season, The Night Before Christmas has launched and is now in full swing until December the 31st at Norwich venue The Garage (a stone’s throw from Chapelfield Gardens) where your little ones can enjoy perhaps their first taste of live theatre in an immersive production which, as they always offer, a setting which is inviting, non frightening and doesn’t mean they have to sit on their bottoms […]
Stick Man Live – Leicester Square Theatre 2023! I’ve been reviewing Stick Man Live at the Leicester Square Theatre for over a decade and honestly, it never gets old. This is the story we read constantly, or listen to on audio (discover a world of audio with Yoto Play) so to see it live is always a real treat too! I’d not ever recommend something that I wouldn’t be prepared to pay for myself (as you know, I have been […]
Into The Snow Globe At The Garage Norwich – A My First Production! The second show in the Imgaitorium at The Garage this festive season launched last night with Into The Snow Globe, an interactive, immersive theatre experience for babies and children up to the age of 5. All In Productions kicked off their double offering with Operation Save Santa, aimed at a slightly older primary aged audience last week and we loved it. This week it’s back to their […]
Operation Save Santa At The Garage – Norwich! In typical me and my disorganised style I rocked up to the preview for All In Productions “Operation Save Santa” at The Garage in Norwich with quite the wrong children for the performance. You see, they are gifting us two this year, this one, which is geared up for 5-10 year olds, and a “My First” production (if you’ve been to their offerings before like the panto or Shakespeare then you’ll be […]
Little Manfred At The Polka Theatre – Wimbledon! It’s been many years since we went to the Polka Theatre, more’s the pity but I feel soon I shall have to rectify this. I used to take the big two when they were little all the time, not because Wimbledon was close to where we lived, far from it, but because it was always so absolutely excellent that it was worth the journey across London and venturing south of the river […]
