On an upcoming episode of All That Chat, I'll be talking about using dance in theatre as a way to tell the story.
What would your favourite examples be of dance in theatre? What is important to it being done well, and what can sometimes lessen its impact?
April 20, 2025 at 12:24 PM
On a future podcast, I'll be discussing mental health in theatre and how it can be portrayed on stage.
What do you think about this in general - when is it done right and when is it not so good?
Any favourite examples would be great too.
This one is very close to my heart.

APRIL FOOLS.
Obviously the website isn't being rebranded "All That Decimals".
Our star rating system remains as does my opinion that half stars are the devil.
It wouldn't be April Fools Day without me renaming the website.
That's four years in a row now.
Can I make it five?
April 1, 2025 at 11:12 AM
I'm thrilled to announce a change in how we review shows.
We will now use half stars as well as including every possible combination.
Expect ratings like 4.2, 3.6 & 1.7 stars.
To reflect this, the website is now called All That Decimals.
I think this rating system is much simpler

'Man In The Mirror - A Tribute To Michael Jackson' attempts to celebrate the legacy of the King of Pop on its UK tour.
However, poorly conceived with shocking choices, it lacked energy and atmosphere and sadly fails on every level.
Here's my ⭐️⭐️ review:

Review: Man In The Mirror - A Tribute To Michael Jackson (UK Tour)
⭐️⭐️️ The King of Pop  has some big shoes to fill, and sadly this poorly conceived tribute show fails to do that in every way

On an upcoming podcast, I'll be talking about performers who have made a role their own.
Have you got any favourite examples of anyone who has done this?

A new take on the Bram Stoker classic gets its UK premiere as 'Dracula, A Comedy Of Terrors' flies into the Menier Chocolate Factory boasting a terrifyingly good cast in a bloody funny show that is worth sinking your teeth into.
