Just like a ballad, this musical will continue to evolve and pass into legend.

A sparkling score, genuine heart, but in need of some hemming.

An excellent story told with ferocity and conveys the importance of unity and determination.

Though a worthwhile topic, it did not develop sufficient connections and emotions to allow the concept to stand on its own legs.

Emotionally engaging and haunting in all the right ways.

A phenomenal story featuring a gut-wrenching performance by Ollie Maddigan, the Olive Boy is a sensational journey to mask, accept and overcome grief.

Developed with so much heart and a pendulum swinging between one step forward and two steps back.

The most chaotic and unhinged show of the year.

Through their characteristic high camp humour, Linus Karp and Joseph Martin from Awkward Productions are determined to dial up the absurdity of their new show to the max.

Not quite The Full Monty, but still a unique piece of full-frontal fun.

High camp silliness. If this doesn’t scream Christmas romcom, then nothing will.

An interesting spin on a classic tale, a proper family musical that leaves you smiling.

Rough around the edges, but still plenty of fun if you succumb to its mayhem.

A generous injection of vitality and absolute filth.

Chock full of imagination and immerses the audience in the Christmas spirit.

A warm, fuzzy and shred less marmalade-licious delight.

A witty dark comedy with too much violence and not enough tension.

A crude and entertaining production that embraces all its ridiculousness.

Rodliffe oozes with charisma in a tit for tat war against her financial challenges.

A brilliantly camp and cranberry and Wensleydale-induced festive fever dream.
