The fact that a major player in the industry such as Andrew Lloyd Webber decided to bypass the company and go straight to the press to announce the closure of the same show twice in two continents is not only disappointing, but utterly unacceptable. Your employees deserve better.

Things that are giving me the ick in theatre right now: Operation Mincemeat's Broadway campaign, Starlight Express, the barrage of new podcast, lack of transparency from some influencers, bleak minimalism. Don't let me go on.

Funny story. I was given a running time of 60 minutes last night, so when the hour promptly ended, I left. WELL. It was only the bloody interval. The show was actually 2hr10 long. I gave it two stars. I would like the ground to open up and swallow me whole.

It's great to hear about all these screen-to-stage adaptations, but I can't help but feel for the new playwrights who are out there struggling to take their original ideas to the stage. It seems like: stage adaptations : theatre industry = sequels : film industry

I ended up reviewing *that* Hamlet today and there was a Q&A afterwards. When someone asked the panel (all the company bar few actors) what role they'd like to play, Sir Ian McK came out with a blunt "I'm frankly looking forward to playing Yorick". Is that the Hamlet effect?

Someone just dislocated both knees in the very first few minutes of Macbeth, someone else who's previously done the role is in the audience and will take over on book in 15 minutes. This is incredible. Details to follow re the hero who's saving the show etc.

All I'll say is that if you don't want reviewers to review your show, don't invite reviewers to review your show. It's that simple. I've seen so much incredible work this past week, but not everything deserves five-stars.

I say this completely understanding that this is what Big Theatre pays him to make. People lap it up, they recoup, everyone's happy. But I think we can stop pretending it's avant-garde and disruptive. It used to be, now it's trite.

Just one more thought on this because it's been bothering me a lot. Michael Billington wrote the intro and Danny Boyle the foreword. I'd be curious to read what they had to say about him, but mostly how they justify their contribution to the book.

The fact that someone deemed acceptable to 1) write something like this and 2) edit/publish it without an ounce of shame is appalling. Never mind the writer whose surname doesn't even feature, the editor who accepted this as a valid response to a show should be embarrassed.

A week to learn an accent that someone has been speaking since they learnt English. Imagine that. I get that it's a staged concert and they usually get famous people, but they didn't even get an Irish actor and there are plenty of those here. It's like speaking to a wall anyway.

As controversial as this might be, I love it when critics don't agree and a show gets everything from two to five. Interestingly, it's always the same people who give the same-ish ratings and I think it says a lot. Criticism is cool.

Is there anything like a weekly podcast with fringe theatre reviewers? I don't know, think pub theatre recommendations, smaller venues, state of the fringe, things like that. If not, should we do one?

And this! I don't want to see ANY of you call shows "the new Fleabag" this year.

Also, too early to articulate well but Edfringe isn’t just about trying to find the next Six or Fleabag. There’s going to be some properly great stuff that hopefully will have further life including a London run but also regional tours would be cracking.

#TrainspottingLive at @RiversideLondon is the coolest, most subversive, most intense show currently running in London. Bravi all, loved it loads.

I hear that the correct thing to do is to visit @MusicalMythic and then @hadestown immediately after to finish the story. I don’t make the rules, sorry.

@MickeyJoTheatre I haven't seen this, but it's not even thoughtless. It's crass and disrespectful in my opinion. People's livelihoods are being impacted, but some people don't seem the get it 🙃

For those who keep asking: I'm seeing Taylor and then going on holiday in August, therefore I won't be in Edinburgh 😬 unfortunately, reviewing isn't my main source of income, which means I need to take leave off of my actual job, which is time I'd rather spend not working. Fin.

This is a devastating loss for the theatre industry. Heartbreaking doesn't even cover it. It's the end of London's Fringe as we know it.

It is with immense sadness that we announce the closure of VAULT Festival and the cancellation of plans for our new London home, after failing to secure the funding required to continue. 🧵 1/8

Men will watch hours of mediocrity made by people they call visionaries and praise it like their life depends on it, but god forbid they acknowledge the power and reach of an enjoyable film that happens to be pink and features a precise, direct critique of the world they built.

At @CadoganHall for the #DoctorZhivago concert tonight and if @LJProds are testing the grounds to bring a full production to the West End with this, it's a yes from me.

Hmm. Interesting. What's the magic behind getting the lights dimmed for someone, then? If it's legacy, surely GC qualifies.

@stageyrebecca @TheStage @DMTWestEnd Sadly, it is not possible to dim the lights for all the brilliant people that have performed in the West End. Gavin will be remembered at the Olivier Awards in April. We share your admiration for his work as he was a truly wonderful actor and lovely human being.
