Your Song

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Whether you are an Elton John fan or not, there is no mistaking his footprint on the music and pop-culture landscape over the past several decades. An EGOT winner with 300 million in record sales, hundreds of millions raised for his AIDS foundation and countless other records and accolades to his name. 

Most people can remember the first time they heard Elton, or an Elton song attached to a particular memory, or even their own Elton moment. And this is what Your Song embraces – the times in our lives that intersected with Elton’s music.

Your Song is not a tribute concert, however it’s a tribute to the songwriting genius that is Elton John and his incredible talent to create music that connects us, moves us, motivates us, celebrates us, makes us smile, laugh, cry and dance.

Buffy Revamped (MICF)

Reviewed April 2025 for Theatre Matters.


I’ve been writing for Theatre Matters (previously Theatrepeople) for nearly 10 years and have written close to 50 reviews in that time.

This week something happened that has never happened before. Two reviewers went and reviewed the same show.

Because the other reviewer submitted their review before me – by a matter of minutes I’m told – they rightly couldn’t publish mine.

But I *know* some people are waiting for it and I like writing and sharing my thoughts, so I have permission to post my review here.
