Theatre Review: Romeo and Juliet @ The New Vic

It was another fabulous night at the New Vic as the theatre brought their updated version of Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet to the stage. I am sure that there will be many purists of the Bard’s work will have entered the auditorium a little apprehensively as the pre-show publicity had proudly announced that the star-crossed lovers were not wet behind the ears teenagers but a pair of forty somethings who had been around the block a few times. In […]

Theatre Review: Burlesque @ The Regent Theatre

Review by Dave Stringer Burlesque is advertised as a BIG musical and there is definitely no reason to report the production company to the Advertising Standards Agency. Make no bones about it this is a massive production that sweeps its audience along in thunderous style. From the moment that MC Sean (Ryan Carter) introduces us to the Burlesque Lounge we in the audience cannot fail to be swept along on the driving beat of the music and movement on view […]

Theatre Review: The Last Laugh @ The Buxton Opera House

Review by Dave Stringer Ever wondered about what it is like back stage when big stars are preparing to entertain their adoring audience? Then you have the chance to experience that by seeing The Last Laugh which is currently touring the UK. Even better is the fact that this lovely piece of theatre allows you the chance to see three comedic icons in the shape of Tommy Cooper (Damian Williams), Bob Monkhouse (Simon Cartwright) and Eric Morecambe (Britain’s Got Talent […]

Theatre Review: Eric in Downtown @ The New Vic

Review by Dave Stringer The summer may almost be over but the theatre goers of North Staffordshire and beyond know that the fun has definitely not stopped as we enter the Eric season. The Eric franchise has been a staple part of the New Vic scene in late August and pre-Christmas for most of the last 27 years and offers a mix of comedy and music from the sixties that draws packed audiences for every two-week run. This year is […]

Theatre Review: Waitress @ The Regent

It has taken a while for the musical Waitress to reach the stage at the Regent Theatre but the wait has been well worth it. Like the service at the finest dining places this was deserving of a mound of Michelin stars. Jenna (Carrie Hope Fletcher) is a much-revered pie maker but she is stuck in the rut at Joe’s Diner with her life seemingly going nowhere. Even worse she is in an abusive relationship with her husband Earl (Mark […]

Theatre Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory @ The Regent Theatre

Review by Ian Kendrick: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is running from 23rd June to the 27th June 2026, at the Regent theatre, Stoke on Trent. The story originated from a children’s novel written by Roald Dahl in 1964 and is a story of poverty, hope, love and adventure from the eyes and mind of one Charlie Bucket. The cast showed great talent from Willy Wonka himself ( Sean Clark-Wilkinson) to Charlie Bucket (Shay Wright) Mrs Bucket (Phoebe Cooke) Grandpa […]

Theatre Review: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice @ Buxton Opera House

It is twelve months since Buxton Opera House first collaborated with Cahoots NI. That was for the much acclaimed The Vanishing Elephant which was a puppeteer’s dream. I am delighted to say that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice which is the latest co-production between the two companies is an even better family delight with its melange of music, magic and masterful puppeteering. Set in the deep and eerie forests somewhere in Scandinavia, the story tells the tale of a young girl Gunda […]

Theatre Review: Around The World In 80 Days @ The New Vic

Review by Dave Stringer from A View from the Wings Podcast Thirteen years after its first showing, a history that includes success on Broadway and seven years after being mothballed due to the pandemic, Around The World In 80 Days is back home. And how delighted we all are that such a splendid piece of enjoyment is back where it truly belongs. Wonderful theatrical experiences such as this deserve a special theatre to spread their wings. We in North Staffordshire […]

Theatre Review: Single White Female @ The Regent

Review by Dave Stringer The original Single White Female was a film from the 1990s that became a cult classic that has lived well beyond the sell-by date. Rebecca Reid has taken the concept of the original film and brought it right up to date. Now set in the Uk, it tackles the difficulties faced by a single mum in a world of sexting, social media influence and even Ozempic. Allie (Anna Ruben) is horrified to learn that her ex […]
