Musical Reviews

On a reclusive Greek island with old love affairs, drama a plenty, and a slew of iconic ABBA tunes, Mamma Mia laid all its love on me at Norwich Theatre Royal.

For one moment in time, The Bodyguard graced Norwich with a tearful performance, and it was a night to remember.

A tightly organised and spectacular affair, and with the entire troupe of dancers hardly putting a foot wrong, and the singers hitting all the right notes

A masterful, and emotionally charged, experience.

An iconic work, given a breath of fresh air by the excellent English Touring Opera.

A fabulous night, up there with Rocky Horror when it comes to a show where familiarity and engagement is an essential part of the audience experience

A show that unashamedly celebrates a golden age of cinema with its healthy slice of nostalgia and those unforgettable songs.

Another fabulous production from the entire team at Norfolk & Norwich Operatic Society.

‘Tina’ brought the life story and legacy of rock icon Tina Turner to the stage and it was simply, The Best.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway blockbuster Hamilton brings the founding fathers to Norwich in a revolutionary performance.

The Sound Ideas Theatre company’s Gypsy was entirely breath taking and incredible to see, for only a theatre half full, they deserved it to be sold out every night.

A powerful production of a classic Broadway musical that will leave you with its message burning into your conscience long after you have left the theatre.

Profound in its harrowing and bitter sweet ending, Les Miserables on stage at the Norwich Theatre Royal was a rebellion of outstanding performances.

Most certainly a musical of our time.

An intense and intimate spectacle, brought to life with beautiful words and music, and some amazingly up-close performances from four opera singers that we would normally be watching and listening to from seats in the stalls or circle of the main theatre auditorium.

The most enjoyable and engrossing opera that I have attended in many a year,

Scintillating and spectacular!

The feel-good musical that you will want to see over and over and again

Now, that's what I call a jukebox musical.

A celebration of teenage hopes and dreams

This remains one singular sensation. Go see.

See this wonderful new musical now, if you can.

Another fantastic collaboration between Norwich Theatre and Buxton International Theatre. Thank you to Stephen Crocker, and everyone at Norwich Theatre for managing to pull this one off.

A delight for children and parents of all ages.
