Reviews by KarenThis is a “live action” remake of the animated film based on the classic fairy tale about a mermaid who falls in love with a human.
It has good special effects and the classic songs from before.

I got a great seat as a £29.50 Rush Ticket from to say is to see Mamma Mia for the second time live on the Theatre.
The show was brilliant, funny and entertaining way to send a few hours watching the story about a girl searching for her dad and her mother rediscovering her lost youth all through the songs of ABBA.

I have seen films and recorded versions Shakespeare plays but I knew before I arrived that is was my first time seeing live Shakespeare, my first time seeing a play at the Globe, my first open air theatre and the first time I have had a standing ticket at a theatre.
As I like farce and comedies I decided to make Comedy of Errors the first live Shakespeare play I saw. It is a crazy story about 2 sets of twins who get split up, have the same names, and when they end up in the same place there are a lot of mistaken identities.
I am not a big fan of Shakespearian language, but I enjoyed the whole experience and was able to follow what was happening.
At the start the actor playing the Duke of Ephesus came on to explain that the actor who normally plays Dromio of Ephesus was indiposed and as the Globe doesn’t have set understudies another performer, who normally plays The Officer would perform that role reading from the script and the same would apply with the role of The Officer. Both performers did incredibly well with their normal black clothes and acting around the stage with their ring binders.
It wasn’t as uncomfortable being a groundling as I thought it might be – but I did get a spot by the stage in the shade, and the weather was ok. The play was funny with a running time of 2 hours with no interval.

Thanks to a £25 Rush Ticket from TodayTix I got to see this show before it closed.
This musical is based on the infamous “made in America” criminal couple who did more than “raise a little hell” and looks at their wishes that the “world will remember them”
Due to their infamy most know they don’t live happily ever after – and the show starts at the end of their “adventures” and then looks back. It feels a bit weird to have criminals as the “heroes” but it was an entertaining couple of hours.
I saved a lot on the original face value of ticket and it was a good view for the price I paid but anything that happened on the far right hand side was missed.

This was the next film about the band of space friends. It shows how they have developed and how they will continue to do so.
I preferred the earlier ones but this still good.
