Accomplice is not your standard West End show. What it is, however, is an inventive mixture of live theatre, interactive murder mystery, and free food and drinks. The adventure begins shortly after booking. Rather than being performed in a theatre, the show starts in an undisclosed location which is only revealed the day before the [...]
Amanda Holden and Richard Blackwood will star in the forthcoming production of Shrek the Musical. Amanda Holden, perhaps best-known for being a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, will play the lead female role of Princess Fiona. Although Holden may be a surprise casting for many, Amanda is no stranger to the stage and actually started [...]
Kyoto Garden is a Japanese Garden in Holland Park, West Kensington. It was first created in 1991 and was refurbished in 2001. Since its refurbishment it has been described as one of the “three places you will never forget in London”. Being in Kyoto Garden makes it hard to believe you are actually in London. [...]

As Andrew Lloyd-Webbers recent television show to cast Dorothy for his upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz was coming to an end, I went along to Wicked the musical a show which flips L. Frank Baums classic story on its head to catch up with the progress of a previous reality show [...]
Ill admit that its always with a certain amount of trepidation that I approach anything circus-related, but upon arriving at the Peacock Theatre I was relieved to find a distinct lack of elephants and candy floss machines. Im happy to say that Cirkus Cirkörs Inside Out was the nicest surprise Ive had in a long [...]
