January 10, 2025 Titaníque (Criterion Theatre, West End) - ★★★★★ REVIEW
The hit off-Broadway musical TITANIQUE, from Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and Tye Blue, has arrived in London this week with an official opening at the Criterion Theatre in the West End.
The show, which parodies the popular 1997 James Cameron film Titanic, features the songs of the iconic Celine Dione as it wittily retells the story of Jack, Rose, and the fateful iceberg.
Check out this full video review for my thoughts on why the show's material works as well as it does, what has been the secret to its success, and how it lands with a new crowd and an all-star West End cast at the helm.
Don't forget to comment below with your thoughts about TITANIQUE, whether you've already seen it in London, or elsewhere around the world!

December 30, 2024 Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 (Donmar Warehouse, London) - ★★★★ REVIEW
As soon as it was announced that the musical NATASHA, PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812, written by Dave Malloy would be receiving its UK premiere at the Donmar Warehouse in London, Mickey-Jo was hugely excited to book tickets.
After catching the show a little after its opening night, Mickey-Jo is sharing all of his thoughts about the cast, material, and creative choices in this full review.
•
The musical, inspired by a section of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, follows Natasha Rostova, who falls for a charismatic aristocrat while awaiting her fiancé’s return from the front lines. Pierre, an unlikely hero, steps in to restore her reputation. It was nominated for 12 Tony Awards on Broadway in 2017, after originally running at the Ars Nova in 2012.
Set to appear in the show will be Declan Bennett (Pierre), Chumisa Dornford-May (Countess Natasha Rostova), Daniel Krikler (Fedya Dolokhov), Eugene McCoy (Prince Bolkonsky/Andrey), Annette McLaughlin (Marya Dimitriyevna), Maimuna Memon (Sonya Rostova), Jamie Muscato (Anatole), Cedric Neal (Balaga), Chloe Saracco (Mary) and Cat Simmons (Helene Kuragina Bezukhova), with Andrew Berlin, Kimberly Blake, Ali Goldsmith, Chihiro Kawasaki, Nitai Levi and Annie Majin.
