Rock of Ages Review | Opera House | Manchester
Rock of Ages is a flatpack musical bolstered by its 80s pop-rock soundtrack and riff-heavy performances. The scenery-chewing ensemble ensures that audiences are engrossed by their Energiser bunny enthusiasm as the cast carry the seedy satire with friendly audience participation and charismatic performances.

Heathers The Musical Review | Palace Theatre | Manchester
Heathers was uncovering the unique ecosystem of high school well before high school movies became a genre in their own right. Now its cutting-edge 1989 film has been remodelled as a musical comedy and audiences get to relive all the cult classic lines live on the Palace theatre stage.

Groan Ups Review | The Lowry | Manchester
The six adult-sized six-year-olds of Bloomfield school already know what they want to be when they grow up. Presenting to the audience as part of their end of term presentation, Mischief Theatre’s latest offering is a warm and cosy comedy that runs through three stages of life.
