THE LADY OR THE TIGER
The musical ‘The Lady or the Tiger’ is playing at the Tabard Theatre in London from the 28th Feb 24 – 16th March 24. Originally performed at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond Surrey, the music was written by our very own SWC member Nola York!
1 Review by Mark Aspen – established theatre reviewer for Richmond area
A member of the audience who just calls herself Ruth added this comment: “Loved the show and your review sums it up beautifully.”
EXCERPT OF Mark Aspen’s review:
“The songs are lively, the lyrics are wonderfully witty, and all four cast members sing them with great gusto and complete clarity, not a word is lost. The production fills the intimate venue to bursting point, and is a constant delight. The two acts zip past and the appreciative audience would certainly have relished a third.
“The Lady or the Tiger feels like a joyous production, where the cast and crew have had as much fun as the audience. It’s endlessly entertaining, and my first instinct on leaving the Tabard was to book tickets to see it all over again.”
2 Review by Nick Hennegan – Writer and creator of The London Literary Pub Crawl.com. and a few plays. BohemianBritain.com. Event and Theatre Producer. Done quite a bit on the wireless too.
“Another Opening, Another Show…! Another Theatrical Opening Night in London! This time the brilliantly bonkers new musical ‘The Lady Or The Tiger’ at Theatre at The Tabard, #chiswick Full review to follow on http://www.BohemianBritain.com “
3 Review by Lou Reviews (Louise Penn)
“This revival of The Lady or The Tiger at the Tabard is a lot of fun while packing a political punch … . The Lady or The Tiger will keep you smiling, and it is nice to have a show that isn’t mired in doom or given excessive length, just absurd and silly.”
