We went to a Friday evening performance on 28th March 2025 and the show started at 5pm. The run time for the show is 1hrs 55 minutes which includes a 20 minute interval. We paid Ā£15 each for our tickets and we were supposed to be sat in the Circle row F seat 15 & 16 however there were a lot of empty seats so we were able to move to the front row of the Circle Row A seats 17&18 and the view from these seats were fantastic. Cruel Intentions: The ā€˜90s Musical is a slick, scandalous, and nostalgia-packed ride that brings the cult classic film to life with a soundtrack of iconic hits.

Animal Farm - Leeds Playhouse - Theatre Vlog & Review Including Curtain call

AD - PR Gifted Tickets Animal Farmā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ā­ I was invited to review Animal Farm at Leeds Playhouse on Saturday 15th March 2025. The performance started at 2pm and had a run time of ~2hrs 30 minutes which included a 20 minute interval. I was sat on Row G seat 38 and the view was excellent. Leeds Playhouse’s Animal Farm is a gripping and inventive reimagining of Orwell’s timeless political allegory, using striking physical theatre and atmospheric design to bring the rise and fall of a revolution to life. With an exceptional cast embodying their animal roles through movement and voice rather than puppetry or elaborate costumes, the production delivers both powerful emotion and chilling satire. From the heartbreaking fate of Boxer to the sinister rise of Napoleon, every moment is charged with intensity. Bold, thought-provoking, and visually arresting, this adaptation is a must-see. Read the full review at the link in my bio to uncover how Leeds Playhouse masterfully translates Orwell’s vision to the stage. Animal Farm is running at Leeds Playhouse until Saturday 29th March 2025 you can purchase tickets at the link below. https://www.leedsplayhouse.org.uk/event/animal-farm/instances/ You can also catch the show at Nottingham Playhouse from 2-12 April 2025 and you can purchase tickets at the link below. https://nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk/events/animal-farm/ If you would like to read my full review of Animal Farm you can find it at the link below. https://www.allabouttheatreuk.com/post/review-animal-farm-leeds-playhouse-15-03-2025 If you would like to watch any of my other theatre Vlog's I will leave a link to my playlist below https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL30yyt2EfPRSoneXfd_sy3Q3lqA7rOhi7 I hope you enjoy the video & Thanks for watching :-) Music from Epidemic Sound. •I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO ANY MUSIC USED IN ANY OF MY VIDEOS• Social Media All About Theatre Blog - https://www.allabouttheatreuk.com/ All About Theatre Instagram - @allabouttheatreuk All About Theatre TikTok - @allabouttheatre All About Theatre Twitter - @allaboutheatre #animalfarm #animalfarmonstage #leedsplayhouse #georgeorwell #theatrereview #theatreig #theatreinstagram #theatre #theater

A Streetcar Named Desire - The Crucible Sheffield - Theatre Vlog & Review

AD - PR Gifted Tickets A Streetcar Named Desireā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ In this vlog I go to see A Streetcar Named Desire at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre on Wednesday 12th March 2025. The performance started at 2pm and had a run time of ~2hrs 44 minutes which included a 20 minute interval. I was sat on Row H seat 42 and the view was excellent. This gripping new production of A Streetcar Named Desire at The Crucible Theatre delivers a bold and visually striking take on Tennessee Williams’ classic. With a powerhouse performance from Joanna Vanderham as the fragile yet formidable Blanche, supported by a cast that crackles with tension, the production brings raw emotion to the forefront. The innovative set design, evocative lighting, and haunting live music heighten the play’s claustrophobic intensity, making Blanche’s tragic downfall all the more devastating. Though some key moments could have hit harder, this Streetcar remains an immersive and emotionally charged ride. Read the full review at the link in my bio to explore how this staging breathes new life into an enduring masterpiece.

I went to an evening performance on Tuesday 4th March 2025. The show started at 7.30pm and had a run time of 2hrs which includes a 20 minute interval. I paid Ā£33 for my ticket and I was sat in the Stalls row K seat 13 and my view from this seat was excellent. Bursting with energy, colour, and infectious joy, this latest touring production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a dazzling spectacle that celebrates the show’s enduring appeal. With vibrant staging, playful storytelling, and a standout cast—including Christina Bianco’s dynamic Narrator and Joe McElderry’s scene-stealing Pharaoh—this production delivers non-stop entertainment. While the show leans into its pantomime-like charm rather than deep character exploration, its high-energy performances, catchy score, and visually stunning design ensure a fantastic night at the theatre.
