9 to 5 The Musical - BBLOC

Working 9-5, what a way to make a living. That is if you're not a woman who has to navigate the misogyny of the workplace whilst juggling childcare, home life and the barriers to reach any job progression. 9 to 5 The Musical is a show that has been around in some form or other for 40 years, you could hope that there would be some real progression in that time. But in the footsteps of the #MeToo movement and the gender pay gap still existing, it seems like the show is still more relevant than ever. 

The mighty BBLOC are back with their latest show. With female leads at the forefront, it's time to celebrate some talented local cast in the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre.

Broadway Showtunes is back and better than ever for 2026. Full of big songs, stunning vocals, and fantastic choreography, BIGLITTLE Theatre School are not shying away from showcasing some of the incredible local talent in their 30 year celebration. 

Weaving familiar and lesser heard shows throughout the night allows each part of the theatre school to showcase their talents but also work collaboratively to create show stopping moments that the audience couldn't get enough of. 

Funny Girl - Milton Musical Society

The original Broadway production of Funny Girl became legendary after Barbara Streisand gave her breakout performance as principal character Fanny Brice. Inspired by the real life story of comedian and entertainer Fanny Brice, who rose to fame in the early 20th century performing with the Ziegfeld Follies. 

Milton Musical Society have continually put on some brilliant community theatre shows. And whilst Funny Girl could arguably be their most challenging, they yet again put on a show to remember reminding us why community theatre is so important. 

La Traviata - Hurn Court Opera

La Traviata is a story of societal expectations, illness, and sacrificing anything for love. Whilst this may be a story built in the 19th century, the themes continue to run strong to this day. Having been reimagined in 1930's Paris, Hurn Court Opera have brought Verdi's classic opera to life and shone light on a fantastic cast of talented new singers. 

 

The Jane Austen Fan Club - Review

Jane Austen is an iconic British novelist that was a game changer during the late 1700's. Writing six novels that have stood the test of time and inspired readers, film-makers, and playwrights alike, the love for Jane Austen stands strong over 250 years after she was born. 

Across the world, people gather to celebrate this well renowned author, and The Jane Austen Fan Club is another ode to this wonderful writer. Currently touring the UK (across Hampshire, Dorset, and beyond), this show sheds the light and truth on Austen in a hilarious and sincere way. 


The Choir of Man 2025 Review - London

The Arts Theatre, London is by far the most perfect venue to host The Jungle, the fictional pub that sets the scene for our show. The Choir of Man is a high energy, feel good show that reminds you that there is no place like the local pub. 

Currently in it's final run before embarking on a UK tour, the nine Jungle regulars are ready to have one last round and raise one final glass.
