    Burlesque, Jeevan Braich from Starlight Express, Inter Alia
    Jul 27 2025

    In the big, sexy season finale the gang review Burlesque the Musical at the Savoy Theatre. Are the rumours about its troubled previews true? Susie Miller's new play Inter Alia follows her huge hit Prima Facie, so how does this second play set in the judicial world with a difficult to pronounce Latin title fare? And Jeevan Braich who plays Rusty in the huge production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express at the Troubadour Wembley Park tells Tim Bano about being cast on Tiktok, dropping out of school and what it takes to roller skate around a huge stage eight times a week while dressed as an anthropomorphic train.


    We'll be back in September - in the meantime don't forget to get your tickets to our live show on 20th September at the Royal Court Theatre https://royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/the-london-theatre-review-live-with-ambika-mod-david-byrne/

    We've been in the crowds on Argyll Street to watch the balcony scene, and now we've been inside the Palladium too and finally the LTR team are ready to give you their bumpe review of Jamie Lloyd's production of Evita, the show that no one can seem to stop talking or thinking about. Expect strong reactions, disagreements, and loads of superlatives. Janie Dee pops by to talk about her show Beautiful World Cabarets which blends stunning renditions of songs with stories of the climate emergency. And the gang review Lynn Nottage's Intimate Apparel at the Donmar Warehouse.
