Thanks to Wales Millennium Centre for providing complimentary press tickets in return for this review Barely a minute into the first musical number of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and my friend and theatre companion for the night whispers to me, “This is going to be good”. And she’s right. In...

Paid collaboration with Carrot Productions There’s something so magically festive about The Snowman.
