Stage / Screen in general

Newest Review: ... show by a friend, I was told the show was going to be mental but I had absolutley no idea how mental it was going to be! I was in tears with laughter throughout the entire show. On first entering the theater you are given a paper head band to wear. A little odd, but hey I went along with it (as did everybody else). I won't spoil what happens too much but their show is based around percussion instruments and crazy stunts involving paint, for example, they catch marshmellows in their mouth (aprrox. 15 one after the other and he doesn't appear to swallow them either!!!) They also create spin art by spraying paint from their mouths o... more

I have just returned from NYC. One of the things I wanted to visit was the 'Off Broadway' show The Blue Man Group (BMG).

I hope they will ... Read the complete review

There are of course the mainstream multiplexes that show all the latest releases but there are a lot of arthouse and smaller theatres around the city that show some great stuff.

I love musicals (though sometimes not fully understand what the performers are singing) and have seen quite a few so far. I personally think the best is 'Cats', which I had seen in Broadway, New York city. A lot of people say that Broadway shows are in parallel with London musicals. I haven't seen 'Cats' in London so can't really compared. But the one I've seen in NYC is really excellent!!! Tickets are expensive, but there are ticket booths (similar to those in Leicester Square, London) where you can get some cheap ones, at half the original price. Can't remember where the ticket booths are since it was about a year ago (is it Times ... Read the complete review
