Remarkable. Great script, strong cast playing the leads while also dropping convincingly into what felt like dozens of supporting roles, and a creative set allowing for surprising scope and scale. If it doesn't transfer to the West End I'll be very surprised, but it's worth chasing to see while it's on in this small space.

We haven't seen this one yet, but having swept the Olivier Awards and gotten an average well above 4 stars in both its National Theatre and Apollo incarnations, it deserves a look in.

Matilda was the best-reviewed show of the past several months, and while it's based on a Raold Dahl story, every reviewer went out of their way to say this is a great show for grownups. Catchy songs, a great villain, and an uplifting sendoff make this a great night out - and you won't have to worry about squirming next to your parents while the show gets too dark, sexy, or dull.

One Man, Two Guvnors (or OM2G as it's called in textspeak) is on its third run - and the reviews remain as strong as ever. The award-winning cast who premiered it has moved to Broadway, but the current cast, composed in part of understudies who have been internalising the rhythms of the show for over a year, has gotten several five-star reviews of relief. Some reveiewers even confess they prefer this ensemble's version to the previous one. In any event this remains a reliable bet for anyone looking for a big comedy in a big room, and the lightness of the script as well as the occasional bit of improv keep it feeling fresh and reinvented just for you.
