Theatre Review: The Trial of Romeo Oscar @ The New Vic

Review by Dave Stringer. Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where Earth has been under attacks so severe that most of life has to continue in a subterranean world and – with little living above ground – the only trees to be seen are, as Joni Mitchell predicted, only to be seen in a true museum. To escape the holocaust, many of the world’s inhabitants have been scattered around the universe to re-establish colonies elsewhere. This is the existence that we are […]

Theatre Review: The Addams Family @ Stoke Rep Theatre

As the producer of the enormously popular View from the Wings - the Moorlands Radio Arts & Entertainment Podcast, I don't normally get out to see shows of any kind. In fact Dave Stringer and Carol Lovatt keep me locked away in a cold dark studio editing their interviews and twiddling the knobs whilst they do the talking. Today, Saturday 17th October I broke out of captivity to attend the afternoon performance of Stoke Youth Musical Theatre Company's latest offering […]

Theatre Review: Oh Zeus @ The New Vic

On many occasions I have been persuaded to watch a new production that purports to be an offshoot of the classic comedies. So it was with a little apprehension that I made my way to the New Vic. Could the claims that Oh Zeus has a rightful claim to be compared to the likes of Fawlty Towers, Bottom and the Carry On franchise be true? Pleasing to say that any worries had disappeared within minutes of the start of this […]

Theatre Review: Annie @ The Regent Theatre

There is always a slightly bigger bounce in my step when I go to a production of Annie – the feel good musical that proved to me that an excellent piece of musical theatre can be so good for the soul. Make no bones about it, this production once again revived my faith in human nature and sent me home with a swelling heart and the unforgettable score winging its way around my brain. The story of red-haired Annie which […]

Dave Stringer in Conversation with John Rowen (ELO Experience)

An encounter with Out Of The Blue - ELO's sixth studio album - changed John Rowen's musical life. After cutting his performing teeth in the pubs and clubs around Hull, he realised that his musical mission would be to create the finest celebration of Jeff Lynne's work with the help of a group of talented musicians. Twenty years later John claims that he is still learning and improving but the ELO Experience is acknowledged as one of the greatest homage […]

Dave Stringer in Conversation with Fed Zanni of the Jersey Boys

Jersey Boys first ran in London’s West End from 18 March 2008 to 26 March 2017 – nine amazing years – and, at the time, was the 6th longest musical running in the West End. The musical returned to the West End as the first show to play the reinstated Trafalgar Theatre from 14 April 2021 to 4 January 2024. Jersey Boys previously played three record-breaking UK and Ireland tours from 2014 to 2016, 2017 to 2019 and 2021 to […]
