Showstoppers! masterfully blends comedy, narrative and music with immensely talented performers

Matthew Warchus has directed a perfect version of this story that fully embodies the spirit of Christmas in every way.

Wicked is a cinematic musical masterpiece that easily takes the crown of best stage-to-screen adaptation of the century.

The production proudly boasts self expression through its detailing of the creative process, inviting a look into both the real and semi-fictionalised worlds of these characters.

There are the smallest glimmers of a well-written book at it’s core, however in its current iteration I can’t recommend this as I feel a more equipped playwright needs to take charge of fluffing up this X-rated story to make it less wooden.

Real images and footage are inter-spliced throughout, helping to bring to life this impressive yet tragic story of fighting adversity to win against all odds.

Stacked with one of the most talented comedic ensembles in the West End, each and every performer showcased why they were born to play these iconic roles and how skilled they are 18 years later at both puppetry and comedy.

I was instantly hooked and drawn into the Cornish coast through Darren Clark’s spectacular score, Zoe Spurr’s magnifying lighting and Chi-San Howard’s inspired choreography, all performed by a multi-talented cast.

Featuring a catchy electro-pop score, brought to life through unexpected contemporary references, the production shines with its hilariously unhinged lyrics.
