Muriel’s Wedding Review at Curve, Leicester
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Muriel might be terrible, but Muriel’s Wedding is far from it. Muriel’s Wedding quite simply is a triumph. A glittering, laugh-out-loud spectacle that bottles sunshine and brings it to life in full theatrics. Opening the show with Sunshine State of Mind was apt on a gloriously sunny heatwave evening. Running until 10 May 2025,…

Everybody’s Talking about Jamie Derngate Review (2024)
Press tickets for review Seven years ago, everybody started talking about Jamie, and we still are! The buzz and the excitement of this show clearly hasn’t fizzled and if a packed Derngate is anything to go by, it’s a resounding success night after night. It’s the musical that reminds you to believe in yourself, be…

Dear Zoo (2024) Review at Curve, Leicester
Press tickets for review A simple and delightful show for all the family If there’s one book that parents and children alike recognise from cover to cover, it’s Dear Zoo. The book by Rod Campbell has been a firm favourite across households for decades, loved for its simplicity and inclusion of so many animals. It…

Bonnie and Clyde review at Theatre Royal, Nottingham
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Raising a little hell this week at Theatre Royal, Nottingham is the exceptional story of Bonnie and Clyde. Perhaps pretty fittingly, Bonnie and Clyde are on the run throughout the U.K. and Ireland, and it is one killer of a show. Rooting for the love story of the anti-heroes, you’ll be in for a…

Blood Brothers U.K. Tour Review, Curve Leicester (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blood Brothers is a must see! I’m not sure if there’s a show that has ever made such a longstanding impact on me than Blood Brothers so attending the press night for it last night was such a full circle moment. It was the first show that i ever saw on the West End,…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ tickets gifted for review We’re off to see the wizard at Nottingham Theatre Royal, and there’s something about The Wizard of Oz that is an instant mood booster. It’s like a comfort show. Pretty and fun songs, a belter with Over The Rainbow, and loveable characters and an escape from reality. Toto, we’re not…

Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula The Sea Witch at Curve Theatre, Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ tickets gifted For a pretty iconic character, Ursula was woefully underrepresented and underused in the story of The Little Mermaid. Plus, we’ve heard what Malifecent had to say, we’ve heard from Cruella, so it’s high time we heard from the queen herself, Ursula. It’s time for Unfortunate. I do need you to know, that…

The Full Monty at Curve Theatre (2024) Review
The beauty in The Full Monty is you can access it on many different levels. Whether you’re there for a girlie evening to clap and ‘woo’ along to the group getting their kit off (with Jake Quickenden pulling in some rather feral screams) or whether you’re there to watch the desperation play out in a…

Zog and the Flying Doctors at Royal and Derngate, Northampton REVIEW
We loved Zog when we saw it on tour, so was thrilled to see that the next adventure of the loveable yet clumsy dragon, Princess Pearl, and Sir Gadabout was heading out on tour. Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions (Zog, Stick Man, Tiddler & Other Terrific Tales) are back,…

![Come From Away – UK and Ireland Tour Review [Curve Theatre, 2024]](https://laureninleicester.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/img_6123-1.jpg?w=1024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars isn’t enough for this production of Come From Away. I am in LOVE with this show, and no doubt I’ll be wanting to catch it again on its 2024-2025 UK and Ireland Tour. This is the first tour following a hugely-successful West End run and how wonderful that it opened up here…
