We catch up with Rebecca Lock to find out about life on the Mary Poppins UK Tour.

With just three weeks left until Gypsy closes in London's West End, we catch up with Gemma Sutton who plays the title role.

I have spent a lot of time at the Bristol Hippodrome in the last couple of years and have seen a range of productions there, but never one on ice. The gentle sounds of Arctic winds met me as I entered the auditorium, and I felt instantly relaxed and ready for an evening of entertainment.

Dirty Dancing is billed as being 'the classic story on stage', and it doesn't disappoint in its promise, bringing the characters of the ever-popular 1980s film to life for audiences across the UK. Highbrow theatre this is not. However, if you're looking for a fun night out at a show which doesn't take itself too seriously yet still delivers some wonderful dancing, well-loved tunes and a full dose of hip swaying, then Dirty Dancing is the show for you.

I will probably be thrown into the darkest depths of Musical Theatre Purgatory for saying this, but…West Side Story has never been a favourite of mine. However, bear with me. I vaguely remember watching the film in my early years of secondary school, and wasn't particularly enamoured by it, so it was with mixed feelings of uncertainty and curiosity that I headed over to the Bristol Hippodrome to see the show on stage for the first time.

If the January blues are getting you down, I can suggest no better cure than to do-si-do on down to the Bristol Hippodrome this week for a thigh-slapping evening of musical mayhem with Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. A show packed full of raucous dance numbers, rugged sets (and men!) and downright rollocking entertainment, this old-fashioned musical is sure to bring even the grumpiest of bears out of hibernation.

Kathryn catches up with Steven Luke Walker, composer and vocal coach to the stars, to find out about his latest production and more.

Fun, festive frolics abound in the Bristol Hippodrome's production of Cinderella! A sparkly curtain sets the tone for the upbeat evening ahead, which is full of colour, sparkle and flair (and some blindingly pink tights!).

I left the house this evening after a long day at work, and stepped out into the dark, cold evening not feeling my best, but thanks to the Bristol Light Opera Club (BLOC) gang I came home with a smile on my face. Their production this year is Irving Berlin's White Christmas, which brings some festive cheer to the lovely Bristol Hippodrome.

It's been ten years since I first (and last!) saw Cats, so I was thrilled to be returning to the over-sized rubbish dump this evening to enjoy an evening of feline fun and frolics at the Bristol Hippodrome.

Kathryn reviews the UK tour of Evita at the Bristol Hippodrome

Having seen the London cast of Thriller Live performing at various events such as West End Live, but having never seen the whole show, I was keen to head to the Bristol Hippodrome to see the fully staged version.

Kathryn catches up with Siobhan Dillon, who is currently on tour as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.

Brilliantly barmy, deliciously dark and ultimately harrowingly hard-hitting - that's how I would describe the current UK tour of Cabaret.

Kathryn catches up with Kerry Ellis to chat about gigs, conservation and upcoming events.

Lovers of the cult film Ghost will not be disappointed should they venture to the Bristol Hippodrome over the next few weeks to see the visually stunning spectacle that is Ghost - The Musical.

Kathryn Pintus reviews the Tina Turner spectacular

Having only ever seen an amateur production of a Gilbert and Sullivan piece, I was very much looking forward to seeing The Scottish Opera and D'Oyly Carte production at the Bristol Hippodrome.
