TheReviewsHub
VerifiedOnline/Digital
THIS site operated for eight years under the Public Reviews brand. In that time, we reviewed some of the most prestigious shows and festivals in the country – and on Broadway – and interviewed some of the biggest names. However, life moves on and we had to as well. On 1 October 2015, we became The Reviews Hub. We are the largest, most prolific arts portal in the UK.
In choosing our new identity, we wanted to satisfy all of the existing expectations of what our original brand stood for: quality digital content, while simultaneously moving our brand forward to acknowledge the maturity, functionality, and diversity of what we want to do – make The Reviews Hub the Number One “go-to” portal for theatre, dance, comedy, and music coverage in the UK.
We have 150 reviewers and 10 editors, comprising experienced journalists, theatre professionals, and arts graduates, as well as a small number of carefully vetted, arts-passionate members of the public. Our writing team covers 11 regions in the UK and even extends to New York. Source

Search ArticlesJane Eyre: A Musical – Southwark Playhouse Elephant, London
Writer: Charlotte Brontë Book & Lyrics: John Caird Music & Lyrics: Paul Gordon Directors: John Caird & Megan McGinnis A Victorian-era, feminist, romantic, and gothic musical set in the moors of Yorkshire. How haunting and intriguing! But… can gothic romance and feminism really coexist in that era? And then, how do you sing about it? Jane Eyre, the musical written by John Caird and Paul Gordon, is based on Charlotte Brontë’s well-known novel, published in 1847.
East Is East- Octagon Theatre, Bolton
Writer: Ayub Khan Din Director: Kash Arshad Octagon Theatre, Bolton, marks the 30thanniversary of Ayub Khan Din’s East Is East in an unusual manner. During the interval audiences are given the option to purchase a portion of chips in addition to the usual drinks and snacks. In 1970s Salford, George Khan (Bhasker Patel) runs a fish and chip shop with his wife Ella (Samantha Power) and their children.
You’re So Special – Soho Theatre, London
Writer: Julia Grogan Director: Rachel Lemon There’s something about the pomposity of actors, particularly those actors who have yet to start on the career path they clearly think they deserve, that is ripe for satirisation, particularly in fringe theatre. Maybe it’s because the writers and performers in the space have encountered so many such individuals; maybe, just maybe, they recognise a part of themselves. Julia Grogan’s latest creation is one such performer.
The Trial of Romeo Oscar – Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough
Writer and Director: Alan Ayckbourn Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s 92nd play sees him back in the realm of futuristic science fiction. The Trial of Romeo Oscar makes the point that, whatever advances in science we make, such works as the plays of Shakespeare and the music of Tchaikovsky will still find a response in the human soul – or the android soul, if such a thing exists – for the other main point is to develop the android characters towards humanity.
Operation Mincemeat – Leeds Grand Theatre
Book, Music and Lyrics: David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, Zoe Roberts Director: Robert Hastie Operation Mincemeat boasts the highest number of five-star reviews for any West End production, and the national tour is picking up plaudits aplenty. It’s easy to see why – war has never been this entertaining… Where The Producers sent up Hitler, Operation Mincemeat focuses more on the larger war effort, in a tale of tricking the troops.
The Mousetrap – The Alexandra, Birmingham
Writer: Agatha Christie Director: Hannah Chissick Agatha Christie has been entertaining audiences across the world for more than 100 years. Her mysteries are twisting, unpredictable, filled with outlandish characters, and much beloved. The Mousetrap has existed in story form since 1947, premiered as a stage play in October 1952, and has been running on the West End since November 1952.
Burlesque The Musical – King’s Theatre, Glasgow
Book: Steven Antin Music: Christina Aguilera, Sia, Todrick Hall, and Jess Folley Based on: The Sony Pictures / Screen Gems Movie Burlesque Director: Racky Plews Choreographer: Robin Antin and Aaron Renfree Musical Director: Robert Wicks There is undoubtedly the outline of a triumphant, high-octane musical beneath the spectacle of Burlesque The Musical, but in its current iteration, the production still feels like a work in progress.
High Society – Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh
Book: Arthur Kopit Music & Lyrics: Cole Porter Director: Rachel Kavanaugh High Society as a stage musical has a pedigree as long as any wealthy New England family, having been adapted from a classic film musical which was itself adapted from a film and a play. Its latest iteration is a lavish spectacle with strong leads and some great ensemble numbers, as sparkly as the champagne that fuels much of the romantic chaos that ensues.
The Act of Existing – Project Arts Centre, Dublin Fringe Festival 2026
Choreographer: Philip Connaughton There are some performances you leave immediately knowing exactly what you thought. Then there are others that follow you out the theatre doors and require a little more time to marinate. The Act of Existing belongs firmly in the latter category. Presented by Croí Glan and choreographed by Philip Connaughton, this provocative, audience-led dance duet is an unconventional exploration of existence, interaction and the ways in which we respond to one another.
