Death Comes to Pemberley on tour – review whatsonstage.com/news/death-com…
I liked this - a new musical for grown ups.
‘A production that defines ‘niche chamber piece’. It isn’t perfect but it could become something of a cult favourite’ ★ ★ ★ ★ for Extraordinary Women at the @JSTheatre @JuliaMusings musicaltheatrereview.com/extraordinary-…
The Little Dancer concert was so sumptuous and if there's any justice, it'll get a proper run. Tiler Peck is an absolute superstar 🌟🎀
I hadn't done any interviewing in a while (not since the end of Musicals) and wasn't expecting to meet Susan Stroman, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. They were all incredibly lovely: juliarank.substack.com/p/preview-litt…

Anyone going on the reviewing trip for Death Comes to Pemberley in Windsor on Friday? I've very much had Jane Austen on my mind recently, what with staying in Lyme Regis, visiting an exhibition about her at the Dorset Museum, and watching and listening to Persuasion.
A profile of Aidan Turner on my list of assignments? Gosh, what a hardship: londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/n…

The Muses are fab but the book for Disney's Hercules is pretty dreadful: juliarank.substack.com/p/review-hercu…
'The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs' is a treat and there's top notch air conditioning at @KilnTheatre: londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/the-mi…
I'm not a dance critic but very grateful to have been given the chance!
‘Hopefully the arresting spectacle will encourage theatregoers to marvel at Hamilton’s sentences, every one as specific as each gesture of Bourne’s choreography’ ★★★★ for @SirMattBourne’s The Midnight Bell at @Sadlers_Wells & Touring @New_Adventures musicaltheatrereview.com/matthew-bourne…
Musings on the oft-misunderstood 3-star review: juliarank.substack.com/p/the-infinite…
He served a dark and a vengeful god.
That’s apparently a different thing called “Sweeney Todd”

I love A Midsummer Night's Dream (my first Shakespeare play) and was dazzled by the aerial acrobatics at the Bridge Theatre last night: londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/a-mids…
My second Southwark Playhouse press night in 24 hours - This is My Family is certainly very different to The Frogs! juliarank.substack.com/p/review-this-…
