Was Mrs Henderson Presents underrated? YES. Is Kinky Boots and its luscious Lola, Matt Henry, still strutting strong? YES.

We are in broad agreement with the talent celebrated at this year's West End Wilma Awards, announced today...

Not a surprise at all but no less welcome for it. After sweeping the board at last night's Tony Awards with 11 big wins, including Best Musical, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway mega-hit HAMILTON confirms its West End transfer today.

Big question: will Miranda or any of the Tony-winning Broadway cast accompany the show to London?...
