Calling Planet Earth At The Alexandra Theatre
Last night Birmingham was dragged back to the early electronic 80s by a brilliant new show that has been taking the Country by storm.

It is no longer seen as a sport just for men, with women and children now taking it up as a hobby. The Yorkshire Post…

We Will Rock You Rocks Wolverhampton
Before you read this review I have to let you into a secret. I don’t really like the music of Queen. I know, I know, that is almost sacrilegious, particularly as my mom is probably the World’s biggest Queen fan. So last night, as I attended the opening night of the Queen/Ben Elton musical at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, I was filled with trepidation. But I have to say that the fear was unfounded.
