MGA Academy
Spring Awakening
★★★★★ Cult classic:
Based on Frank Wedekind’s 1891 German play about repressed sexuality and its manifestations, Spring Awakening gets a a surprisingly refreshing production from MGA that mixes 19th century Germany with rock music. And does so exceptionally well.
Broadway Bound
✭✭✭✭✩ All that Jazz:
Bright and crisp and even, the aspirations of the dancers on stage at the King’s on Thursday night shone through their performances. These youngsters were Broadway Bound in more ways than one.

Farewell My Son
✭✭✭✩✩ Poignant and promising
