THE GIFT OF MUSIC: AN EVENING WITH JULIE ANDREWS, O2 ARENA, LONDON By Paul Callan

The evening proved that, even for great stars, there is a time to retire from the stage and leave us with golden memories.

THE MISANTHROPE - Review By Paul Callan

Director Thea Sharrock keeps the action cracking along and lets the crisp jokes flow easily.
But it is Damian Lewis's evening and another milestone in his career. It is just rather sad that the heart-wrenchingly beautiful Miss Knightley does not quite come up to scratch.

FIRST NIGHT REVIEW: THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE, VAUDEVILLE THEATRE, LONDON By Paul Callan

The sad problem is this is not one of Simon's best plays and compares badly with the hilarious genius of The Odd Couple and, say, Barefoot In The Park.
