THE WOMAN IN WHITE – Charing Cross Theatre

In London theatre, Musicals, Opinion, Reviews by Simon Parris21st January 2018Leave a Comment

With a focus on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sumptuously melodious score, the new chamber-sized production of The Woman in White avoids the excesses of the original staging, allowing the gripping Victorian melodrama to be enjoyed purely on its own merits.

THE WOMAN IN WHITE – Charing Cross Theatre

In London theatre, Musicals, Opinion, Reviews by Johnny Fox11th December 2017Leave a Comment

The trouble with The Woman in White is that if you dissect the elements Andrew Lloyd Webber fused into the show, they’re all perfectly fine. You could also add that Thom Southerland’s production flatters the source material with a rich and generous staging and some very lush orchestrations.

What do you get if you combine a richly textured (revised) score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a strongly convincing cast and a Thom Southerland production? In the case of The Woman in White, the audience is given a strong and emotionally powerful show that captures the audience’s attention and heart.
