Beloved by the adults who grew up with it and the children just finding out about it, Shrek the movie and its timeless characters are still every bit as fun and relevant today as they were 23 years ago. So, it was with great delight that my Shrek-loving seven-year old daughter and I – also a big fan – heard that the award-winning Broadway and West End hit show ‘Shrek the Musical’ was going to be staged in Derry’s Millennium Forum. We headed off to opening night on Tuesday evening, full of...
The One Day author’s new will-they-won’t-they tale, about two divorcees who find themselves walking the Lakes and Pennines, is a great comic novel – and superb on the landscapeThe proximity of the publication of David Nicholls’s sixth novel, You Are Here, to the screening of the superb Netflix remake of One Day gives the new book an added sense of poignancy. If One Day (2009) saw Nicholls as a writer in his mid-40s looking back nostalgically on the loves and losses of twentysomethings, here we...
Like a day-old bagel, "The Outsiders" is only a sufficient Broadway musical if you're absolutely starved for options.
Although “Stereophonic” is not a musical, it’s easy to get swept up by the terrific original rock songs that throb through it.

Golden Theatre, New YorkThe tale of a fictional British-American rock band trying to make an album makes for compelling and incisive dramaBeyoncé Knowles memorably said: “People don’t make albums any more. They just try to sell a bunch of little quick singles.” More than a decade ago, she spoke with startling accuracy on the wash-rinse-and-repeat cycle of music-making. The nameless record executives who want ditties in the key of TikTok. Success itself is an underwhelming boom-bust.Stereophonic,...

Lucy Boynton plays a woman who can travel back in time with the power of a song in a high-concept, low-enjoyment fantasyIn the often insufferably cutesy romance The Greatest Hits, our heroine travels back in time whenever a song from her past is played, nostalgia acting as a magical, transporting force. While watching the film, we too are pulled back but rather to all of the far superior films we’re inconveniently reminded of, from High Fidelity to Richard Curtis’s similarly high-concept About...
