Broadway Baby

Broadway Baby has been around since 1996, but its transformation over the years has been remarkable. Initially, it served as a free platform for actors to showcase their CVs at a time when others were demanding high fees for simple, poorly designed single-page websites. The site functioned like a collaborative IMDB for theater, connecting shows with actors. However, it wasn't until 2004 that Publisher Pete Shaw introduced the concept of including reviews with show listings, which significantly boosted its popularity. That same year, the first Broadway Baby review was published during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Is She Really Going Out with Jim?

3 days ago | broadwaybaby.com | Roger Kay

By Roger Kay | 13th May 2025 | ★★★ "Are you having a stroke?" Not exactly what inventor Jim (Paul Richards), pitching an idea to his long-term girlfriend Alison (Ruby Florence), wants to hear. But this does not transpire to be Alison’s most devastating line to Jim; it is, however, a microcosm of the personality gap between the pair.

By Richard Beck | 10th May 2025 | ★★★ Ari Freed (Ilan Galkoff) strolls down the side aisle of the Marylebone Theatre and casually addresses us as though we were friends. He’s cheerful, endearing, even amusing, and pleased to see us. He’s also surprised at the number of people who have turned up—and welcomes us to his funeral.

By Lois Zoppi | 7th May 2025 | ★★★ “Call me Ishmael” is one of the most recognisable opening lines in literature, and the story of Moby Dick isn’t a mystery to many people. This was both a strength and a drawback of Ross Ericson’s one-man reimagining of the tale: familiarity with the text makes it easier to enjoy, but it leaves few surprises.

By Nicholas Abrams | 4th May 2025 | ★★★ Anxiety. Trampolines. The Chuckle Brothers. Don’t Let Me Die Before Sunday is a witty, winding, and occasionally wayward one-person show from Skin & Blister Theatre, exploring the pitfalls of making theatre when your own mental health keeps interrupting the rehearsal process.
The Brightening Air

By Richard Beck | 28th Apr 2025 | ★★★ Conor McPherson’s latest play, which he also directs, might benefit from a more intimate setting than the Old Vic but the The Brightening Air retains an element of claustrophobia as the eight members of a feuding family in rural Ireland explore their bonds and divisions in equal measure.

Image Credit: Chris Taylor By Richard Beck | 31st Mar 2025 | UK Regional & Tours Many arts festivals adopt the word Fringe as a worldwide identifier of grassroots culture. The big event in eastern England is not one of them, however. Instead it sticks to its simple title that dates back to the eighteenth century.
4 star review by Richard Beck

2 months ago | broadwaybaby.com | Richard Beck

By Richard Beck | 3rd Mar 2025 | ★★★★ If location is everything, Teatro dei Giordi at the Coronet Theatre have espoused this sentiment in their latest work, Pandora, which transforms the stage into a unisex public lavatory. A fascinating snapshot of figures engaged in fast-paced, idiosyncratic and a eccentric behaviours.
