★★★★☆ The plot follows the trajectory of the musicians as they form/dissolve one group after another – The Varietones, The Four Lovers – before they eventually, with the addition of the extremely talented songwriter/keyboardist, Bob Gaudio, adopt the name of the bowling alley they fail an audition in.

LA CENERENTOLA ★★★★☆

★★★☆☆ Oozing seventies’ style and packed with classic tunes this latest stage musical version of the historic disco film Saturday Night Fever comes to Bristol for a short run. From the rousing opener, Stayin’ Alive, right through to the Disco Inferno end of the show the songs shine and the dancing dazzles.

★★★★☆ From the moment a large storybook opened centre stage to reveal little Shrek and his parents bidding him farewell, we knew this production had plenty of magic dust up its sleeve.
