Review - High School Musical
February 17, 2009
Venue: Sunderland Empire
Date Reviewed: 16th February, 2009
On the day Disney’s orginal High School Musical settles in to the Sunderland Empire, High School Musical 3 is released on DVD, showing how long a shelf life this show has, as the “Grease” of today.
Not only has the this show been converted from TV to the stage, there is an ice show version and Disney released the third version at the cinema rather than on TV. On top of this there are the computer games , merchandise, clothing, bags, lunch boxes and toys, in fact the list of merchandise is endless. Read more

Venue: Sunderland Empire
The epic battles between the Ethiopians and the Egyptians were a mere detail compared to the epic battles that were raging for the heart of Radames (Patrizio Ha). Ramades the heroic Egyptian army captain was the obvious love target for the Pharaoh’s daughter Amneris (Zarui Vardandean) however before long Aida (Elena Dee) Ethiopian daughter of the king, captured after a battle becomes her slave and love rival.
The battle between the women rages throughout and although Aida is his true love the acceptable public betrothal has to be with Amneris. Yes, it was always going to end in tears! Read more
Review-West Side Story
February 11, 2009
Date Reviewed: 10th Feb, 2009
Venue: Theatre Royal, Newcastle
West Side Story is 50 years old and is recognised as the show that changed the face of musical theatre.
