Writer: John Leguizamo Director: Fisher Stevens Reviewer: Leon Paul The Public Reviews Rating: John Leguizamo is truly a force to be reckoned with. His stagecraft, theatrical daring & expertise are evident from the moment he appears onstage gyrating like James Brown to Sex Machine.  There’s nothing mechanical about the performance though, it’s utterly fluid, honest & expressive. Leguizamo [...]

Writer: Paula B. Stanic Director: Natalie Wilson Reviewer: Deborah Klayman The Public Reviews Rating: A new play by Paula B. Stanic, Theatre Centre’s Under A Foreign Sky is thought-provoking, engaging and relevant.

It stars James Corden as Francis Henshall, a poor hungry soul, recently sacked from a skiffle band and now working as Roscoe Crabbe’s [...]

Music & Lyrics: David Essex Writer: Jon Conway Director: Nikolai Foster Reviewer: Deborah Klayman The Public Reviews Rating: There are currently a number of musicals that are based around the hits of a band or singer – many of which are currently in the West End – and if one is successful then it stands to reason [...]

Whatever type of music or theatre you’re into, chances are you’ve heard Idina Menzel’s voice. She was part of the Broadway revolution that was Rent in 1996, was the first to immerse herself in green make-up and iconic Stephen Schwartz melodies in global hit Wicked, and more recently joined the talented and charming misfits of [...]

She took some time out to chat to Catherine [...]
