More than one critically acclaimed book has recently been brought to the stage, some with great success, others with lesser success. So it is safe to say that the stage adaptation of Eliza Clark’s debut novel Boy Parts was eagerly awaited, and it does not disappoint. The production at the Soho Theatre shows not only a fascinatingly … More BOY PARTS – REVIEW -SOHO THEATRE
Peter Smith’s Diana promises to deliver a ‘tour-de-force’ ‘musical spectacular’ in Soho Theatre’s largest space. Supposedly inspired by that interview with Martin Bashir, Smith’s monologue begins conversationally, addressing the audience with a faux-intimate familiarity that sets up what will proceed: an extended and somewhat shapeless ramble on herself. Referring to her husband and waiting to … More PETER SMITH’S DIANA – REVIEW – SOHO THEATRE
I love cats. I am without a doubt a “cat person” and I’m totally up for any kind of cat-related entertainment, but even I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with An Audience With Milly-Liu, a one-man-cat-drag-late-night comedy starring François Pandolfo and directed by Dan Jones. Milly-Liu tells you her sordid tails about working … More AN AUDIENCE WITH MILLY-LIU – REVIEW – SOHO THEATRE
Michelle Brasier is an average bear. Or rather, a woman with bear ears and no pants. (The Australian meaning, not the British.) Or, a musical theatre singer doing a one-woman show about… Nostalgia? Suffering? Herself? Or, simply all of the above. In the cabaret-style Soho Downstairs, Brasier bares her soul, through a mix of Disney-esque … More MICHELLE BRASIER: AVERAGE BEAR – REVIEW – SOHO THEATRE
I’m sitting down in a hotel bar before work. I have an hour to write this review, and I think: What if I were to use this precious little window of time I have for myself instead? Inspired by the spirit of the show of course. And so, for an ode to living an unconventional … More AGE IS A FEELING – REVIEW – SOHO THEATRE
Zach Zucker — what a name. And what a revelation! The self-professed ingénue of the ‘Hollywood scene’ is as cute, funny, and weird as they come, and the show presents a totally insincere yet undeniable avalanche of talent. The premise is simple: Zach wants to become a star by making us laugh and ultimately love … More REVIEW – ZACH ZUCKER: SPECTACULAR INDUSTRY SHOWCASE – SOHO THEATRE
Two drag queens have managed to squeeze 90 years of musical theatre into a 60 minute musical revue, and it is oh so fun! La Gateau Chocolat is one of Time Out London’s ‘Top 10 Cabaret Stars’, and Jonny Woo is a comedian, and one of London’s leading figures in cabaret and alternative variety. Together … More REVIEW – LE GATEAU CHOCOLAT & JONNY WOO: A NIGHT AT THE MUSICALS – 90 YEARS OF DRAG! – SOHO THEATRE
It’s the festive season, and what’s more Christmassy than a Lesbian Space Crime. Ok, so it may not be A Christmas Carol, but don’t we have enough productions of that right now – so here’s a show completely unrelated to the Christmas season, but just as likely to spark joy. Airlock Theatre launched in 2016 … More REVIEW – LESBIAN SPACE CRIME – SOHO THEATRE
Jazz Emu is an incessantly clever one-man funk-comedy/Youtube show that insists on the genius of its maker. But why ‘Jazz’? The character creation of Archie Henderson is a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist who builds an atmosphere with layers of synth, bass, and electric sax — and there’s something of the avant-garde in there too, pushing the boundaries … More REVIEW – JAZZ EMU: YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE – SOHO THEATRE
Mr. Swallow and co. are back at The Soho with a bold, ridiculous and outrageously clever take on everyone’s (least) favourite Christmas classic! It’s a version of A Christmas Carol in which Scrooge is played as Santa, Santa’s shirking his duties for the rest of the year, and the cast and creatives repeatedly break character … More REVIEW – A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH – SOHO THEATRE
On August 10th, 2018, Richard Russell, an airport worker in Seattle, used his clearance pass to gain access to a Horizon Air Bombardier Q400 — a 76-seater commercial plane — and flew it over the skies of the city. An untrained pilot, he performed loop-the-loops and barrel rolls, an aerial performance that observing pilots described … More REVIEW – WE WERE PROMISED HONEY – SOHO THEATRE
Bangers is a fantastic, immersive piece that uses music as the backdrop, to engage the audience with the story. Bangers written by Danusia Samal and directed by Chris Sonnex, follows the ups and downs of two characters as they navigate through their past and contemplate what their future holds. Their stories include falling in love, discovering … More REVIEW – BANGERS – SOHO THEATRE
After hearing Rachel Mars read these old letters…I agree wholeheartedly with the title. Your Sexts Are Shit: Older Better Letters is a one-woman play that gives dramatic readings of erotic love letters written by well-known people, including James Joyce, Georgia O’Keeeffe, Mozart, and Frida Kahlo. It is being performed at Soho Theatre by Rachel Mars, who … More REVIEW – YOUR SEXTS ARE SHIT: OLDER BETTER LETTERS – SOHO THEATRE
