Dreamboats and Petticoats, (King’s Theatre, Glasgow, 2-7 March 2009)

Review by Cameron Lowe

The nostalgic, retrospective musical show tour has become commonplace in our theatres … but their popularity does not guarantee that they are any good. A cynical producer would insist that building a show around 43 classic chart hits from the 50s and early 60s would deliver a smash hit musical. But the audiences who were first attracted to the theatre to see “Buddy” have been suckered by a few badly produced, but similarly themed, shows since and are growing more sophisticated. The bar has been raised.

Macbeth

Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester

Review by Caroline May

The evening begins innocently enough as three little girls watch TV in their bedroom. The party’s about to break up – “When shall we three meet again?” – when a gang of soldiers bursts in and rapes them.

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

UK National Tour

Review by Steve Burbridge

I last reviewed Seven Brides For Seven Brothers back in September and was less than impressed. However, credit where credit is due, last night’s performance at Darlington Civic Theatre had a new energy and vigour that just about leapt from the stage and into the auditorium.
