I am not usually a fan of corny plays but Elf the Musical at last night’s premiere at the Dominion Theatre was entertaining enough to put me in the festive spirit. After all, this year more than in the past, we all need cheering up and Elf is a heart-melting type of story. If you can afford it, take the family to the theatre. Elf the Musical runs until 7 January 2023.
The story

London Mums Magazine was invited to Christmas at Kew, our evening was packed with magic!
What a glorious treat! The Kew Gardens 10th anniversary light trail is spectacular. Individual creative light installations are linked by clever illumination of bushes and trees. The trail is punctuated at intervals by tastefully designed food and drink huts with something for everybody: hot chocolate to…
The Snowman at the Peacock Theatre was beyond my expectations. I walked into the theatre unsure on what to expect, and before I knew it, I was introduced to a colourful winter scenery and extravagant costumes. The show really surprised me with the way the actors and dancers traversed around the stage to bring the wholesome story of the magical film and picture book to life for its 25th year on…

Mayerling at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and in a cinema near you.
Ballet as you’ve never seen it before, with classically trained dancers properly acting out the story thanks to modern choreography by the great Kenneth Macmillan. Out with the cardboard cut-outs, out with the repetitive Russian symmetry, out with the synchronised swim in tutus.
Ryoichi Hirano and Sarah Lamb in…

Good by C.P. Taylor is at the Harold Pinter Theatre until 24 December 2022. A deceptively simple title. It’s the journey of one lecturer from being pretty decent to becoming a holocaust supporter. His personal rationale, torn between disbelief and herd instinct, is an exploration of how Germany allowed it, collectively.
We’ve all looked at end-stage Alzheimer’s sufferers and thought, ‘We…
Quirky, totally, but think:
Do you love music, uplifting music, but can’t play an instrument and would love to be part of a small group which teaches you how to ring a welcome peal for a bride, a babe or a dearly departed one ? Ringers have also been faithfully celebrating and commemorating every great event since the WW1 Armistice, including more recently, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II…
La Boheme at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and in a cinema near you.
God not opera you’re thinking… All mountainous women and no action. Well, not any more, it isn’t. Rather, it’s young singers, who act properly, in edgy sets with humour thrown in.
Boheme (1893-5) has a touch of the Dickens, in that it is a gritty social commentary, mocking all strata of society…
The David Walliams’ brand is always going to deliver precisely what you expect, in greater or lesser degrees, and this production of Demon Dentist written by David Walliams and adapted by Neal Foster edges towards one of the better deliveries. Overall, the casting is particularly inspired in this production. Zain Abrahams, who plays newsagent Raj, deserves particular mention for his warm and…
