Summary
After missing out on the chance to see it during its since cancelled run in Woking, Mickey-Jo headed to Cardiff earlier this week to watch the new UK Touring production of Burlesque. The musical adaptation, seen previously under different creative teams in Manchester and London, is based on the film of the same name starring Christina Aguilera and Cher. Amidst alleged backstage chaos, here are Mickey-Jo's thoughts on the actual show onstage, and whether or not it's worth the drama surrounding it... • 00:00 | introduction 02:42 | this production 08:56 | creative issues 17:24 | performances 20:54 | conclusion About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field. His YouTube channel: MickeyJoTheatre is the largest worldwide in terms of dedicated theatre criticism, where he also share features, news and interviews as well as lifestyle content for over 95,000 subscribers. With a viewership that is largely split between the US and the UK he has been fortunate enough to be able to work with PR, Marketing, and Social Media representatives for shows in New York, London, Edinburgh, Hamburg, Toronto, Sao Pãolo, and Paris. His reviews and features have also been published by WhatsOnStage, for whom he was a panelist to help curate nominees for their 2023 and 2024 Awards as well as BroadwayWorldUK, Musicals Magazine and LondonTheatre.co.uk.
