TAB'S theatre world

Every few years, Sadler's Wells is briefly BLESSED by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, and what a treat we had during this visit! New artistic director Alicia Graf Mack has made her mark.

AD/Gifted: You heard that right, theatre lovers: if you love all things theatrical, Lush Spa may be the spa experience you've been waiting for, tried and trusted by a theatre fanatic.

Sh!tfaced Shakespeare's wildest show yet! Hear ye, hear ye: this is THE show to watch for a brilliant night. It's exactly how Shakespeare wanted his work shown, probably.

Stakes are high from start to finish, and the audience is in silent anticipation for how the story unfolds. Prepare to be blown away by visuals, as the cast performs many ballads.

Mischief are the legends of comedy, and 'Comedy About Spies' is the most exhilarating, uplifting and hilarious show you will see in 2026. This show deserves more recognition!

This CATS revival is the musical experience of the summer! It leaves you feline fantastic, and it's simply impossible not to be in awe of the highly skilled cast. It's a theatre delight!

Passion sparks from each scene; the choreography is heated, and the drama is just as hot. Audiences are wowed, but it feels there should be more emphasis and attention on the drama. Too much passion, not enough gripping drama.

London's new Heathers cast is THE BOMB! The musical we all know and love, copied and pasted into a new venue, with new perspectives on the iconic characters. Quite an upgrade.

Let's welcome the 13th cast for Mischief's 'Play That Goes Wrong' on the West End, and what a cast of comic timing angels indeed!

Frank Sinatra isn't flying you to the moon; he's flying you to the glamorous US movie/music scene, whilst showing you his bumpy journey to stardom. Bringing Sinatra back into the audience's hearts.

The Earth may be a 'hot mess', but this musical is NOT. It's just getting to the sweet spot of brilliant theatre, the songs are great, the jokes are ongoing, and the cast is INCREDIBLE.

It's a wild ride of a one-man show! It's all over the place, with sparks of energy. It's something different for Pride Month, with wacky visuals... that are cool but don't always make sense.

Shantify has anchored down at the Underbelly Boulevard, and 6 huge voices turn your favourite songs into sea shanties. It's a toe-tapping show, but it lacks a compelling story.

DAY-O... oops. Beetlejuice has FINALLY taken over the Prince Edward Theatre, with a dreamy cast. The Neverworld is everything we could've wished for and more! Daylight come, and me do NOT want this show to go home!

Two lovers from separate worlds, but will it work? The new magical musical at the Charing Cross is sure to leave you shaken. Brilliant performers, great space, but the story feels disjointed.

One of the best one-act plays you will see, it's hard not to be sucked into this show and captivated. Such potential, interesting choices and just lacked flow.

A couple of hours of iconic music by Jim Steinman, performed by a wonderful cast of West End stars. It was a long couple of hours.

Difficult topics and highlights the fear of the future for the NHS. Shown in a touching story of strength and the importance of listening.

Pokes fun at the political system and the lack of change in the world. Over the top humour, clowning elements, and high energy.

If you don't belly laugh at this show, then you take life way too seriously! Unapologetically funny, the most animated and energetic performers on the West End. The joy we need!
