Review: ONE MAN MUSICAL, Underbelly Boulevard
by Franco Milazzo - Jan 24, 2025

If sacred cows make the best burgers, Underbelly Soho could soon become the most popular fast food joint around. One Man Musical’s latest outing is quickly becoming something of a word-of-mouth must-see and, while the marketing is understandably coy about who the “one man” is, it becomes clear early on that cabaret duo Flo & Joan have come not to praise Andrew Lloyd Webber but to hilariously bury him in his own faintly ridiculous history.

Interview: 'How Would We Feel If Someone Wrote a Musical About Us?': Writers Flo & Joan Unpack Their Show ONE MAN MUSICAL
by Kat Mokrynski - Jan 21, 2025

Recently, we had the chance to chat with Flo & Joan, AKA sisters Rosie and Nicola Dempsey. E discussed how they first got started in musical comedy, the creative process for a show like One Man Musical and even some favourite fun facts they’ve found while researching for the show!

Critics' Choice: Kat Mokrynski's Top Ten Shows of 2024
by Kat Mokrynski - Dec 31, 2024

Having seen over 320 shows in cities like London, New York, Edinburgh in 2024, it was certainly difficult to narrow it down to my top ten shows of the year, but I have done my best! This list is a mix of plays, musicals and stand-up comedy shows that I have seen as both a critic, as well as some that I went to as a punter.

ONE MAN MUSICAL To The Underbelly Boulevard Soho
by A.A. Cristi - Dec 7, 2024

Following a triumphant debut run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and two sell-out runs at Soho Theatre, which saw the brand-new musical receive rave reviews, One Man Musical will now transfer to the Underbelly Boulevard Soho in London's West End from Thursday 16th January to Sunday 2nd March.

Review: ONE MAN MUSICAL, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - Nov 29, 2024

Written by comedy duo Flo & Joan and directed by Georgie Straight, One Man Musical has quite the simple description - an “original one-man musical about a very renowned gentleman.” This isn’t going to be a one man musical about just any ordinary man. Instead, we’re going to be taking a peek into the mind of one of the world’s most (in)famous musical theatre giants - Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Review: MATES IN CHELSEA, Royal Court
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Nov 10, 2023

burbThe Royal Court was the first stage for Lucy Wade’s biting satire Posh, which focused on the lack of consequences of the poor and entitled behaviour of certain members of the upper classes. That was back in 2010 and it can be argued that amount of material to work with on the subject is even greater that ever. Unfortunately, Rory Mullarkey’s new play wastes every opportunity to say anything novel.

Review: THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, Shakespeare's Globe
by Alexander Cohen - May 19, 2023

With the swashbuckling zeal of a rowdy tavern brawl and all the brash bravado you can shake a bulging cod piece at, the Sean Holmes helmed The Comedy of Errors crashes onto the Globe stage to start the summer season with a bang.

2022 Year in Review: Cindy Marcolina's Best of 2022
by Cindy Marcolina - Dec 21, 2022

After two years of absolute doom and uncertainty, 2022 began with a sprinkle of glimmer on the horizon. Masked up and cautious, we came back to theatres properly. Admittedly and unfortunately, I found the return underwhelming and gave very few glowing 5-star reviews. I still loved a good number of productions, but it’s a far cry from struggling to whittle it down to a Top 10. Nonetheless, it was an exciting year.

Review: THE TEMPEST, Shakespeare's Globe
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 1, 2022

Love Island meets Below Deck in Benidorm in this OTT aestival pastiche. Prospero dons a speedo. Questionable tattoos cover a few of the cast. The most unpredictable of twists stretches the limits of copyright infringement. It’s absolutely bonkers, but it works! Holmes delivers a modern, refreshing, and unconventional take.
