Interview: 'Sword Fighting? No Problem!': Actor Max Harwood on THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL
The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical has been taking The Other Palace by storm since it opened in November 2024. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Max Harwood, who plays Percy Jackson, the titular hero of the tale who goes on a quest after discovering the truth behind his parentage. We discussed how he first got into theatre, his love for the world of Percy Jackson and even which Greek god would be his godly parent!

Critics' Choice: Franco Milazzo's Best Shows Of 2024
Writing stage reviews is an adventure I have yet to tire of. This year, I sat in the dark and scribbled hieroglyphics into my notebook in a dark room as I watched opera, cabaret, dance, circus, comedy, clowns, musicals, concert films, buckets of immersive shows (theatre, dining, even panto) and even some theatre.

Critics' Choice: Kat Mokrynski's Top Ten Shows of 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.

Critics' Choice: Christiana Rose's Best Children's Shows of 2024
In an evolving year of children’s theatre, the themes of climate change and sustainability reign supreme, with a lean towards immersive and inclusive theatre with excellent changes in the industry meaning prior access resources are provided as a matter of course. These resources are often made available in the form of helpful visual guides, sensory and symbol maps, all of which are brilliantly inclusive for those with neurodiversity or additional needs.

Review: THE PRODUCERS, Menier Chocolate Factory
Good things come to those who wait. Last seen in the West End way back in 2004, starring Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, Mel Brooks' satirical work of genius, The Producers, has finally goose-stepped its way to a glorious return to the London stage at the wonderful Menier Chocolate Factory.

Review: BALLET SHOES, National Theatre
Beloved by parents and children alike, the National Theatre has taken on the first major stage adaptation of Noel Streatfeild’s best-selling book Ballet Shoes as their big ticket show this festive season. It is a brave move, as the book is so well known and hasn't been out of print since 1936. However, there's so need to fear, as Kendall Feaver's adaptation is a truly charming and heart-warming family show.
