A show that’s as colourful and cheesy as they come with a 90s Beverly Hills tale where everything is perfect… or so you’re made to believe. Based on the 1995 teen comedy film, Clueless The Musical left me feeling, well, clueless (the caveat is that it’s certainly a lot of fun). Who would have thought you could turn a sofa into a car, or watch the cast turn into ‘human barbies’ during Josh’s (Keelan McAuley) solo.

Consider yourself… lucky if you’re heading to London’s West End to see this triumphant revival of Oliver!There’s no denying that Lionel Bart’s Oliver! is a staple of musical theatre. I’d put good money on around 80% of the population knowing at least one song, even if they have never seen it.
It’s these songs that pull people back each time there is a revival, but the question on my mind was: how on Earth do you reinvent the wheel again?

Vanessa Williams and co bring all the drama to London’s Dominion Theatre in a show which is sure to turn heads and raise eyebrows. Any well-known film which has a core fan base can have an uphill task when being transformed into a musical. The story is already there, but you need to get the music just right, and do dance routines work?
Luckily for producers, Sir Elton John was on-hand to craft a new score which just about hits all the right notes.

It’s hard to find a group travel organiser who hasn’t visited Thursford Christmas Spectacular in Norfolk. The three-hour spectacle is non-stop show tunes, dance routines, acrobatics, stunts and more. So I thought it was about time I went to experience it for myself…It’s staggering to think that 1,400 people descend on this sleepy corner of Norfolk for each performance during the Christmas period.

Incredible dance routines combine with legendary hits to make this jukebox musical an absolute thriller. It’s easy to grimace your way through a Michael Jackson tribute performance. Usually they’ll be wearing that sparkly glove and a battered trilby while awkwardly shuffling to the hits. It’s overdone, or at least I thought it was, until I saw Myles Frost’s as the ‘King of Po’p in MJ. This is no tribute act.

Patrick Vaill who stars as Dr Brenner in London’s Stranger Things: The First Shadow, on why he thinks the show has done so well in the West End and how he built his own version of the iconic character.
I think they can expect just about everything, and I know they’ll be totally unprepared for what they’re going to walk in to. It’s a complete sensory experience that accompanies this really gripping original story that takes you places you didn’t know it would.

Group travel organisers share their experiences of great coach drivers and the difference they make to day trips and holidays. Coach drivers are perhaps the unsung heroes of the group travel trade, and as we’ve discovered, when you get somebody behind the wheel who is willing to go above and beyond for their passengers, it can make for a much more enjoyable trip.
