Floella Benjamin's Coming to England - UK Tour Review 2024

 Picture the scene. You are a child settling down to watch your favourite show. An earnest young woman springs onto the screen and welcomes you into a world of diversity, colour, and magic. That show is Play Away, and that young woman is Floella Benjamin. Now imagine you are sat in the theatre, a TV screen bigger than you could have ever imagined is in front of you, and that very same young, animated woman has come to life on stage. The giddiness overcomes you and you feel transported to childhood. 

Floella Benjamin's award winning book of her move from Trinidad to England has now been created into a masterpiece of a play that is set to take the UK by storm. Coming to England has been adapted by David Wood and directed by Denzel Westley Sanderson for the stage and wowed audiences in the town where Floella took her first steps on British soil. 

Romeo & Juliet - Northern Ballet Review

Two households, both alike in dignity is where the story of Romeo and Juliet begins. A tale written by the Bard about star crossed lovers and their untimely fate is a story that has transcended across stages, screens, and novels to entertain audiences across the world. In fact, in recent times there has been a musical, a play, and now a ballet to enthral. And whilst this tale may be told countless times, it still is a tale that never grows old. 

The ballet powerhouses at Northern Ballet have reignited their rendition of this Shakespeare tale. Having lost most of the set and costuming to a flood in the early 90's, they have worked tirelessly to restore this timeless classic to it's former glory and allow it to capture the hearts of audience's again. 


Ghost the Musical UK Tour Review

It's hard to believe that it's been 34 years since the iconic scene with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze was introduced to our worlds. From that moment on, a potters wheel was never seen in the same way again. However, it may have lingered in our brains like a ghost, but Ghost the Musical is back on stages to wow and impress audiences around the country. 

Since it's original outing on the stage in 2011, this show has had some minor reworks. And now with an expanded book by original creator Rubin, audiences are falling in love (and bawling their eyes out) all over again to this touching retelling of the film that won over so many hearts originally.
