October was a pretty busy month and I saw a great selection of shows, and gave a variety of star ratings!

I had a great time watching the 40th anniversary of THAT’LL BE THE DAY, but my Show of the Month has to go to the incredible production of THE BOOK THIEF.

Tonight’s Press Night for new musical HOT MESS was lots of fun.

A really original story with great songs and a fantastic cast, but can this show break the musical curse and get the elusive 5 stars?

Today we say Bon Voyage to the incredible OG cast of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA.
