Shrek: The Musical
★★★★★ Ogre-homa!
Grey February nights turn a joyous green as Mama present Shrek The Musical at Loretto School Theatre until Saturday. The tale of an ogre, a donkey and a princess rescuing one another from loneliness is brought to brilliant life in the company’s 75th anniversary production.

Made in Dagenham
★★★★☆ Up-standing:
As the political stew bubbles over the edges of the Westminster cauldron, Allegro’s big and bold production of Made in Dagenham reminds us of a time when politics was a lot more simple – and the issues were even more fundamental.

Grease – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ A smooth operation
The Bohemians’ snappy and agile production of Grease fairly flies across the stage at the Church Hill, providing a great deal of deftness and dexterity allied to boisterous amusement.

Review – Sweet Charity
✭✭✭✩✩ Enjoyably ambitious
Consistent entertainment and a high level of skill mark out Allegro’s production of Sweet Charity at the Church Hill all this week, despite the occasional mis-step.
