Two theater reviews to note
Critics just handed New Wimbledon Theatre’s Waitress a five‑star writeup calling it 'utterly sensational,' a clear thumbs‑up for the current West End staging (x.com). On the U.S. side, SPAMALOT is getting fresh reviews at Hollywood Pantages Theatre — another signal that crowd‑pleasing musical comedy remains a reliable draw (x.com).
LondonTheatre1’s Cal Frankie published a full review of Waitress at New Wimbledon Theatre on April 1, 2026 that names Carrie Hope Fletcher as Jenna alongside Sandra Marvin (Becky) and Evelyn Hoskins (Dawn). ( londontheatre1.com ) The staging on view is the production’s tenth‑anniversary UK tour, directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Lorin Latarro, remounted by Abbey O’Brien. ( whatsonstage.com ) Carrie Hope Fletcher’s lead turn and her performance of “She Used To Be Mine” were singled out by multiple critics, with Dan Partridge as Dr Pomatter and Les Dennis as Old Joe also highlighted in press coverage. ( londontheatre1.com ) BroadwayWorld’s Los Angeles review of Monty Python’s SPAMALOT ran March 30, 2026 and calls the touring production “sparkling” while confirming the Hollywood Pantages engagement runs through April 12, 2026. ( broadwayworld.com ) The North American tour launched December 1, 2025 and is scheduled to run through November 1, 2026, with the Pantages stop listed March 24–April 12, 2026 on the Broadway in Hollywood calendar. ( ibdb.com broadwayinhollywood.com ) LA reviewers named Major Attaway as King Arthur, Amanda Robles as the Lady of the Lake and Sean Bell as Sir Robin, and praised Paul Tate and dePoo III’s set work, Jen Caprio’s costumes and Josh Rhodes’ direction even as some critics (TheaterMania) called the material “a bit tired.” ( stageraw.com theatermania.com )
