Shucked @OpenAirTheatre comes alive with the one-liners & corny puns delivered with perfect timing by Keith Ramsay, Georgina Onuorah & the fantastic, always watchable Steven Webb. The plot is as weedy & stilted as the crops they grow but the leads are all in magnificent voice.

Here We Are @NationalTheatre: Jane Krakowski & Rory Kinnear score high on Tom's fantasy lead casting wishlist & they deliver in this discombobulating Stephen Sondheim swansong which dissects the meaning of life alongside the meaning of brunch. Whacky, powerful & vaguely profound.

Finally caught @Titanique out of curiosity on how it had attracted so much musical talent to its cast. Not seen the film so wasn't in on all the in-jokes but scored higher on the topical & gay stuff. Went in kinda hoping it would sink, but left having been swept away by the fun.
