Newest Review: ... succeed. 20 of us arrived at the Opera House in Manchester to see this full of anticipation and excitement. I was glad to see that the stage production was in the same vein as the recorded video by virtue of having the same director in Gale Edwards. The stage consisted of a two tier walkway, separated by a platform that moved from the s ... more

I've just realised an lifelong ambition and learnt a bitter lesson. I have wanted to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the theatre for a long time, but for some reason or another have always missed - and not living in London hasn't really helped the matter. My ambition was fuelled by the realse of the Jesus Christ Superstar video which is superb all round, giving a more in depth look at the characters and the feeling of being in there and involved - which is something for a recorded event. By all accounts and within all reason the live show should have been just as compelling but I found myself a little disappointed - not with the show as a whole, but with an ...  Read the complete review

Well Seen The Show Only once but great lights, sound, set and the cast were Fab. Looking Forward To Seeing It Again I Think I Am Hooked On The Show And Look Forward To Seeing It In The Forseable Future And Maybe Work On The New UK Tour (You Just Don't Know What Is Around The Corner!) Don't Want TO Say Much About The Show As I Think It Woul Spoil It For Others But All I Can Say Is: SEE IT OR MISS OUT! ...  Read the complete review

I think this is probably my favourite musical, and I have seen quite a few. The music ranges from upbeat to haunting and will stay with you for days after you have seen it, as will some of the scenes from it. It focuses on the time leading up to Jesus's death and most of it is very moving and emotional. The acting was absolutely superb and the voices of the singers/actors were amazing too, everyone really put their heart and soul into it which does not always seem the case with every musical or play. Many of the songs are very catchy and I liked the whole thing so much I bought the soundtrack. The end scenes are shocking, moving and will ...  Read the complete review

Wonderful love story set in war You tell me after you have watched it :)

Pretty much everything in the show Slightly unconvincing Bill Sykes

Great songs, music and dancing Stage sets not as spectacular as some West End shows

Touch - Bill Dare
Excellent performances and well crafted plot twists. Style and realism seem a little confused.

Norman Lovett's Slide Show
An amusing look at preserved moments of history, in Norman Lovett's familiar dead-pan manner. It's still essentially an old man showing some slides and talking about them.

Richard Herring - Oh f**ck, I'm 40!
Richard Herring's mid-life crisis tows a fine line between despair and entertainment. Perhaps too intimately revealing for the weak of stomach.

Bridget Christie - The Court Of King Charles

Stewart Lee - 41st Best Stand-Up Ever!
Everything the publicity claims is true. Self-satisfied desire to remain obscure gets in the way.

BBC Stand up show live!
Late night opportunity and great value for money, particularly in the half-price preview week. A mixed bag of mostly average, lowest-common-denominator stand-up.

Tom Stade - Setlist
Involves the audience in trying to make sense of a jumbled board of prompts. Targeting of the disabled and war victims will doubtless offend.

Stand Up For Freedom 2007

Alan Carr Stand Up Tour 2007
Great entertainment The Venue

Othello (Newcastle-upon-Tyne)
Good performances for Iago, Roderigo and Emilia Weak Othello, over complicated direction distracts from the words, dialogue can be difficult to hear
