Review: The Oxford Commas: Aca-demic Weapons
Go spend an afternoon with the Oxford Commas. You will leave knowing more about this venerable part of English history but, more importantly, with a smile on your face and a song in your heart from these enjoyable entertainers.
Review: No Strings Attached – An A Cappella Love Story
A charming and engaging a cappella performance by a talented university ensemble
Review: Rock Hard – A Theatrical A Cappella Adventure
Rock Hard is true artistic fusion of dance, acrobatics, storytelling, a cappella singing, and sound effects.
Review: Oxford Alternotives: A Cappella Off the Rails!
A fun afternoon of a cappella with Oxford University’s long-running student ensemble. The enthusiasm and joy transmitted by these talented young singers will send you on your way humming with a smile on your face.
Review: Oh What a Lovely War
Musically directed by Ellie Verkerk the six-strong cast play instruments throughout. They’re a phenomenal team, singing beautifully a capella or in solo. With six young actors mostly fresh out of drama school absolutely at the top of their first game, we’re treated to acting both hungry to prove and yet touched by the world they’ve entered. This is an outstanding production.
Review: The Oxford Gargoyles
University of Oxford jazz a cappella ensemble in an hour of impressive singing and joyful presentation
Review: Out of the Blue
An hour of entertainment from University of Oxford's male a cappella ensemble
Review: The Madness of George III
Surely the Sarah Mann Company’s finest hour, overcoming the BOAT’s wondrous yet treacherous acoustics – and weather. Alan Bennet’s 1991 The Madness of George III is their most ambitious, most jaw-dropping production. This magnificent revival poses even more urgent questions. A twitch on the thread for all of us.

Fun musical hour from Exeter University’s competitive mixed a cappella group
Review: 10 Things I Hate About A Cappella
a beautiful musical experience from an enthusiastic young group
Review: The Comedy of Errors
As excellent outdoor theatre it approaches the quality of the Globe and others on tour. Most important, it never clutters, direction supremely clear in this most tangled of works. In imagination and reach they’re already consummate; they’ll doubtless vie with the Globe On Tour soon. And there’s that tang of the time to savour, uniquely theirs.
Review: The Comedy About a Bank Robbery
The Comedy About a Bank Robbery redefines the category, by edging beyond even recent work and revealing a classic structure entering a hall of mirrors and going mad. The musical as well as general ensemble is the most remarkably timed I’ve ever seen in a theatre, and the set designs and shifts the most frantically split into milliseconds. This is an outstanding and redefining farce in every way.
Review: Nuns ‘n Roses
Purcell and Katy Perry in the same set. Oh, and the only known choral work celebrating the vacuum cleaner.
Review: Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour
Lee Hall’s and Vicky Featherstone‘s sell-out Edinburgh Fringe musical comes to the Theatre Royal. It more than bears out the accolades heaped on it.
Review: Face All Vocal Rock
Throughout the show our preconceptions were expertly dismissed as tune after tune thrilled and entertained us.
Review: Black Magic: Songs Unchained
A wonderful combination of physical theatre and a Capella songs documenting the fight for racial equality in America
