The Break A Leggers review the 2019 UK Tour of Willy Russell’s Educating Rita.

Educating Rita won the Olivier award when it was produced in London’s West End by the RSC and was adapted into the multi award winning film which starred Julie Walters and Michael Caine.
When married hairdresser Rita enrols on a university course to expand her horizons, little does she realise where the journey will take her.

84 Charing Cross Road UK Tour Grand Theatre Wolverhampton Review
The Break A Leggers review the touring production of 84 Charing Cross Road at the Grand Theatre Wolverhampton.
Hollywood and Broadway legend, Stefanie Powers, reprises her role as Helene Hanff as part of a major new UK tour of 84 Charing Cross Road, alongside Clive Francis as Frank Doel.
Adapted from Helene Hanff’s best-selling book, 84 Charing Cross Road is a tender and heart-warming tale of transatlantic friendship. The bittersweet comedy is based on the extraordinary true story of the remarkable relationship that developed over 20 years between a vivacious New York writer and a London bookseller. Through their exchange of humorous and often intimate correspondence a snapshot of Britain from the post-war 1940’s to the swinging 60’s is revealed, alongside a touching human story that still deeply resonates today.

Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em UK Tour Grand Theatre Wolverhampton Review Joe Pasquale
The Break A Leggers review the UK tour of Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em at the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton.
Based on the 1970s classic TV comedy by Ray Allen and directed by the award-winning Guy Unsworth, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em is the ultimate feel-good night out, washed down with lashings of nostalgia and Mother’s prune wine.
Hilarious mishaps and DIY disasters are bringing the house down, quite literally, as Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em hits the road with Joe Pasquale (New Faces, I’m a Celebrity, Spamalot, The Producers) as the lovable accident-prone Frank Spencer.
Susie Blake (Coronation Street, The Victoria Wood Show, Blithe Spirit) stars as his disapproving Mother-in-Law and Sarah Earnshaw as his long-suffering wife Betty.
Betty has exciting news for Frank, but he’s preoccupied by possible newfound fame as a magician. With guests arriving for dinner and crossed wires all round, priceless misunderstandings are on the menu.

A Taste of Honey Review Grand Theatre Wolverhampton Trafalgar Studios London UK Tour Jodie Prenger
The Break A Leggers review The Touring Production of A Taste of Honey at the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton.
A Taste of Honey, Shelagh Delaney’s ground-breaking British classic is embarking on a UK tour.
Jodie Prenger (Oliver!, One Man, Two Guvnors) leads the cast as Helen in a bold new production that features original music compositions - influenced by blues and soul - and rearranged songs from the jazz era, performed live by the cast and an on stage three-piece band.
Directed by Bijan Sheibani (Barber Shop Chronicles), this exciting new staging is a gritty depiction of working-class life in post-war Britain and an exhilarating portrayal of the vulnerabilities and strengths of the female spirit in a deprived and restless world.
When her mother Helen runs off with a car salesman, feisty teenager Jo takes up with Jimmie, a sailor who promises to marry her, before he heads for the seas. Art student Geof moves in and assumes the role of surrogate parent until, misguidedly, he sends for Helen and their unconventional setup unravels.

I went for a book convention in October 2019, and before leaving decided to take a walk around a few of the near by blocks. I started from Britannia Hotel and made my way up to the Saint Peter's Gardens and Church. Forgive the sound of my suitcase on wheels in tow. Enjoy!
