Our whole family loves everything about the theatre and as soon as our children were old enough to sit still for long enough, they were dragged there too! Luckily the kids love it as much as we do, so much so that our daughter is now a qualified Make-up artist for tv & film and our six year old belongs to a drama school and has been desperate to be the next Stephen Mulhern since he was two! - (Actually, slight fib, he was obsessed with Bradley Walsh at two, but since Three its all about the Mulhern!) … So we get to see many a variety of performances from Murder Mysteries to Comedies, from Julia Donaldson to Katherine Ryan, from Ballet to Musicals and it’s not just us, we go with the Grandparents and friends most school holidays too, so we are thrilled at the opportunity to carry out reviews, but please remember this is totally our own opinion, every mind thinks differently, especially when it comes to Theatre Darhling!
Whatever show you go to see, we would love to hear about it. After all, there are many shows you just wouldn’t be interested in going to see until someone else recommends it, so please feel free to let us know your thoughts. More importantly though …. Enjoy!

Read MoreFor anyone that hasn’t heard of the phrase ‘Jumping the Shark’ it is referred to by script writers, when the fear of a popular tv show goes from amazing to bombing literally over-night, due to a stupid, unrealistic plot, leaving the viewers not happy at all. It comes from a moment, back in the 80’s, when an American, (very) popular, funny and slightly cool tv show, showed one of the main cast water ski-ing and jumped over a shark! … The viewers were not impressed at all and the ratings dramatically went down fast. … A script writer’s worst nightmare!
