The Drifters’ Girl
★★★☆☆ Stories still unsung
The Drifters Girl, at the Playhouse this week as part of a UK tour, provides plenty of Drifters hits, hung around the story of Faye Treadwell, who managed the group up until 2001.
Disney’s Aladdin
★★★★☆ Spectacular
Flying onto the Playhouse stage on the magic carpet of Disney, the big touring production of Aladdin which sets off on a 15 month UK tour is a big, sparkling concoction of fun.
Jersey Boys
★★★★☆ Slick and seamless
Packed with hits and bristling with energy, Jersey Boys, the musical telling of the formation and career of the Four Season, returns to the Playhouse for another extended stay until February 4.
Billionaire Boy
★★☆☆☆ Unfocussed
The Birmingham Stage Company’s adaptation of David Walliams’ Billionaire Boy splutters into the Playhouse for a half dozen performances, wearing its fun on its sleeve but failing to fizzle as it might.
School of Rock – The Musical
★★★★☆ Belting
Heads up pop pickers! School of Rock – The Musical, which grooves onto the Playhouse stage for a week until Saturday, is a big fat bundle of anarchic rocking-out and feel-good wish-fulfilment.
