REVIEW: Death of a Salesman @ Everyman, Liverpool (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can count on the Everyman to stamp their distinctive mark on each and every new production. The timeless classic Death of Salesman by Arthur Miller is further proof that they go the extra mile. This is an interpretation with a difference. It adds an extra nuance to the theatre's ongoing 'Made in Liverpool' theme. This play, first performed in 1949, is set in Brooklyn and the accent is on the American dream simmering into a nightmare for one family. New York and Liverpool are similar in being
REVIEW: 'Annie' @ Liverpool Empire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ANNIE has been a frequent visitor to the Empire over the past five decades. A big venue for a show with a big heart. The musical is always welcomed with open arms by Merseyside audiences of all ages. It is a fine family get-together and a cracking school outing. This latest tour ensures the legacy as an all-encompassing, joyous musical continues to grow. It may be set in the United States depression of the 1930s but the story is a timeless, uplifting one: hope and optimism for the future despite
REVIEW: Letter to Brezhnev returns to Liverpool stage in five-star revival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE opening sequence of the 1985 film Letter to Brezhnev featured a panoramic birds' eye view of the Mersey Waterfront.

A 'can do' attitude that these rebels with a
REVIEW: 'Barnum - The Circus Musical' at Liverpool Empire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AS you enter the 100-year-old venue there is a 'mini Empire ' on the stage. A theatre within a theatre - a stage within a stage. Circus and fairground music sets the scene for an atmospheric celebration of one of the world's great entertainers. This is not the stage version of the film The Greatest Showman but a revival of the original stage show which made the history books when first Jim Dale on Broadway and then Michael Crawford famously walked the tightrope live on stage.

REVIEW: 'Waitress' @ Liverpool Empire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IT'S BEEN four years since this life-affirming musical came to the Empire. Liverpool audiences clearly love the bitter-sweet plot or should that be sweet-bitter as the emphasis is on delicious pie-making as the backdrop to some emotional food for thought. The very mention of some of the mouth-watering culinary creations makes you feel peckish. Either way, opposite emotional strands are key ingredients in this layered show with music and lyrics from Sarah Bareilles. The heroine is Jenna - played
