Theatre Review: & Juliet, Manchester Opera House
Not so much a remix of Shakespeare as a thoroughly modern sequel, packed full of fashionable themes like female empowerment and gender fluidity, all set to, ahem, bangin’ tunes from some bloke you’ve probably never heard of even though they’ve sold in the high godzillions.
& Juliet: Miriam-Teak Lee talks about taking on the ultimate role
It’s by no means impossible that you’ve never heard the name Max Martin.
“If you want to see the movie, see the movie.” Bob Gale talks to Northern Soul about Back to the Future – The Musical
Here’s the thing. The blockbuster film Back To The Future was first released in 1985, starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a rock ‘n’ roll-loving teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a time-travelling DeLorean (ask your parents) invented by his friend, Dr Emmett Brown, played by Christopher Lloyd.
Review: Dick Whittington, Manchester Opera House

“You’re being paid to have fun and to laugh and be daft and stupid.” John Barrowman talks to Northern Soul

Review: Love’s Labour’s Lost & Much Ado About Nothing, RSC, Opera House, Manchester
I visited London’s Old Vic recently to watch its overly intellectual presentation of Lear. Like a pretentious, post-modern meal, there is much to wonder at in this show, but it left me cold and hungry for something more filling. Impressive looking food doesn’t always taste that great. So it’s great to be back in Manchester and in safe hands seeing this Shakespearian double bill by the RSC and the Chichester Festival.
Review: George’s Marvellous Medicine, Manchester Opera House
It’s not quite panto season yet, but this touring production of George’s Marvellous Medicine ticks a lot of those same boxes where family entertainment is concerned.
