Below is a pretty long list of theatre reviews I’ve written for the Daily Echo, ranging from the West End to the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton. Pictured above is me (looking at the wrong camera) with some fellow journalists, and the core cast and crew of The Lion King. The previous night we witnessed an incredible performance of the stage musical at the Lyceum Theatre in London. This press trip wasn’t a review of the show as such, but a piece celebrating the 25th anniversary of the West End show in the latter stages of 2024. You can read all about it by clicking on the ‘Features’ tab.
