Take a look at what critics have had to say about the West End transfer of Steven Moffat’s comedy The Unfriend at the Criterion Theatre.
‘You will still jump out of your seat’: 2:22 – A GHOST STORY – Criterion Theatre ★★★★
It is a testament to Danny Robins’ 2:22 – A Ghost Story at the Criterion Theatre that many people go back for a second viewing – this is lots of fun as you try to spot what is going on and notice foreshadowing. But you will still jump out of your seat!
‘It’s just too rich a seam for artists to ever tire of exploiting it’: Isobel McArthur on Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of)
‘Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of) an affectionate, faithful re-telling of Jane Austen’s iconic novel – only, told by the servants, with karaoke.’
‘This is the little show that could & does’: PRIDE & PREJUDICE (sort of) – West End
There are some shows with modest beginnings that seem to have all of the industry behind them, willing them to succeed. Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) is one of them.
‘It takes you to that smashing place where you just can’t stop laughing’: PRIDE & PREJUDICE (sort of) – West End ★★★★
Every so often a little show comes along pretty much unheralded and without star casting that strikes a chord with audiences and critics alike, and ends up sticking around in the West End for years.
‘A raucous & entertaining evening from five talented women’: PRIDE & PREJUDICE (sort of) – West End
As five conspiratorial servants potter around the stage before the show proper, we know this is going to be no typical Jane Austen adaptation. This is Pride and Prejudice as you never knew it.

‘The Elton John pastiche alone is worth the night out’: AMÉLIE – Criterion Theatre ★★★★
The music, big choruses and goodnatured showbiz of elegant ensemble scene-changes in Michael Fentiman’s production of Amelie somehow makes the tale of the sweet-natured waitress (who interferes in everyone’s life while blind to her own needs) genuinely work.
‘It’s a delightful, deliciously sweet concoction’: AMÉLIE – Criterion Theatre
For the show to lure a nervous (but now fully vaccinated – yay!) me back to the theatre after nearly 15 months, it’s hard to imagine more soothing fare than Amelie The Musical.
‘There’s hardly a more delightful show in town’: AMÉLIE – Criterion Theatre
The exceptional company for Amelie at the Criterion Theatre is superbly led by a captivating Audrey Brisson, at once vulnerable and determined, in the title role, bringing heart as well as serious craft to its enveloping warmth.
