As a child, who wouldn’t have fantasised about swapping their parents for rich, energetic, laid back and famous ones? Last night, I caught a glimpse of that fantasy turning into reality. David Baddiel, renowned among adults for his stand-up comedy, is also an accomplished children’s author. His bestselling book, The Parent Agency, was first published in 2014 and went on to win the Laugh Out Loud Award. This production marks the 10th anniversary of Baddiel’s book, which has now been transformed into a hilarious new family musical, adapted by Baddiel himself.
Last night, I was fortunate enough to attend the Gala Night of The Parent Agency at the Storyhouse in Chester. It was a magnificent evening, marking the world premiere of the family musical, with David Baddiel in attendance. He signed copies of his bestselling book and interacted with his enthusiastic young fans!
Based on the book, the musical follows the story of a boy named Barry Bennett, who finds himself in an alternate world where children can choose their own parents. Frustrated with his own parents, whom he considers poor, always tired, overly strict and boring, Barry blames them for his uninspiring name. In his desire for better parental figures, he makes a wish and is suddenly transported to the Parent Agency, a place where kids can select their ideal parents. For Barry, this appears to be a dream come true. However, as he will soon find out, selecting new parents is not as straightforward as it seems…
This production boasts an outstanding cast. Rebecca McKinnis and Rakesh Boury deliver hilarious and incredibly talented performances as Barry’s parents, Susan and Geoff, as well as portraying the other parenting couples in the alternate world. They seamlessly transition between their various roles, ensuring the audience is treated to a laugh-a-minute experience. Their performances consistently stand out as a highlight. Among the standout characters are the exceedingly posh and flamboyant Lord and Lady Rador-Wellorff.
During last night’s performance, Max Bispham delivered a remarkable portrayal of Barry. He captivated the audience for the entire two-hour show, which is an impressive achievement for any performer, particularly someone of his age. His acting, singing, dancing and comedy timing were all exceptional.
The supporting cast also delivers impressive performances, with special recognition given to the captivating Elliot Broadfoot, who masterfully plays multiple roles as amusing characters, stealing nearly every scene—particularly as Peevish.
The production includes several catchy musical numbers by the renowned songwriter Dan Gillespie Sells, who is not only the lead singer of The Feeling but also the composer of the hit musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. Notably, the songs The Rador-Wellorffs and Gonna Make You Sweat are delightfully whimsical, enhanced by an exceptional creative team that brings together stunning set designs, choreography, and costumes. And let’s not overlook the fabulous wigs and makeup!
The Parent Agency is an immensely entertaining and enchanting new family musical that is brimming with heart and promises to captivate and ignite the imagination of audiences of all ages!

IN THE CELEBRATED PRODUCTION

Legally Blonde the Musical has been brought to the stage at the Kings Theatre by local group The Portsmouth Players. The musical, based on the 2001 Reese Witherspoon movie, tells the story of Elle Woods (Beth Evans), a Fashion Merchandising graduate who gets into Harvard Law School to prove to ex-boyfriend Warner (Archie Mckeown) that she can be “serious”. With a positive attitude, and a perfect pink wardrobe, Elle strives to discover what it is she really wants, and to prove to everyone what she is really capable of.
This is a show full of strong female characters, and Portsmouth Players have drawn on a super-talented cast of local performers. Beth Evans as Elle had the audience rooting for her all the way through, and Georgina-Rose West was outstanding as Elle’s best friend Paulette, with wonderful vocals. Special mention also for Madison Cathrow who led an incredible skipping scene just after the interval in her role as exercise guru/murder suspect Brooke Wyndham.
This show made the most of every opportunity to make the audience laugh and there were some brilliantly silly scene stealing moments. Paulette’s dog Rufus (Stanley Searl) was full of attitude, and Kyle the UPS guy (Nick Williams) was hilarious as Paulette’s love interest, absolutely milking every moment he had on the stage. However, the ultimate scene stealer was of course the adorable Scooby as Elle’s dog Bruiser!
Legally Blonde is an inspirational, uplifting show about staying true to yourself and following your dreams. It’s full of poppy, catchy songs accompanied by a fabulous live band and delivered with buckets of fun and energy. Legally Blonde is a feel-good night out, full of heart – ‘omigod you guys!’
It’s 1981 in the sleepy, sheriff-less town of Skidmore, Missouri and there’s been a murder, but in this shocking true crime thriller, it’s not so much a whodunnit as a whydunnit.
Written by Jack Holden, who breathtakingly also plays practically every character, and director Ed Stambollouian, Kenrex brings to the stage the fascinating story of Ken Rex McElroy and his ten-year reign of terror over the good people of Skidmore. Holden commands the space, contorting his body and voice with relish to bring to life everyone from a peacemaking barmaid, a nosy shopkeeper and a plaintiff farmer to prosecuting and defence attorneys and judges, with an almost schizophrenic charm.
The slow drawl of Kenrex himself contrasted with the zeal and high energy of his heroic defence attorney Richard McFadin is a particular delight. Accompanied live on stage by award-winning composer John Patrick Elliott, original country, blues and rock punctuate this chilling tale while Anisha Field’s set and costume design add a feel of Mindhunter, especially the green floor, drab backdrop and chunky eight track recorder.
It’s evident that Holden and Stambollouian are massive true crime fans and the former’s direction does not miss a trick in ramping up tension and escalating the violence. Not that Kenrex is devoid of humour, Holden’s playful performances and Stambollouian’s thoughtful direction ensure that the peculiarities of small town life and the ridiculousness of the US justice system are satirised and picked over too. There are also nice nods to our obsession with true crime podcasts in the extensive use of microphones, which add texture to the piece.
What results is a magnificent piece of exquisitely-timed, high energy theatre with a blisteringly good soundtrack that reminds us of the flaws in our legal systems and the fractures in our communities. Kenrex, like any good crime story, asks the question humanity has never stopped wrestling with: what is justice?
19 February 2025 – It was announced today that an extra 30,000 tickets for Mischief’s brand new West End show, The Comedy About Spieshave been released, with the show extended through Summer 2025 by four weeks due to phenomenal demand.

The cast is completed by Macadie Amoroso, Adam Byron, Matt Cavendish, Allie Dart, Niall Ransome and Ashley Tucker.
Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery bring an uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursting with bungled missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication that’s anything but covert to London’s Noël Coward Theatre from Monday 14 April 2025.
When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. Add to the mix a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for the role of James Bond, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, and you’ve got a mission that’s hilariously out of control.
Written by original Mischief Company members HenryLewis and Henry Shields, The Comedy About Spies will have its Opening Gala Night on Tuesday 13 May 2025.
The Director is Matt DiCarlo, Set Designer is David Farley, the Costume Designer is Deborah Andrews, the Movement Director is Shelley Maxwell, the Lighting Designer is Johanna Town, the Sound Designer and Composer is Jon Fiber for JollyGoodTunes, Casting is by Lucy Jenkins CDG & Sooki McShane CDG, Additional Casting by Heather Basten CDG CSA and the Associate Director is Katie-Ann McDonough.

A sneak-peek of the opening scene from The Comedy About Spies brought the house down at The Royal Variety Performance in the presence of His Majesty The King at the Royal Albert Hall last year. It was broadcast on ITV1 on Sunday 15 December and is currently available on ITVX.
The Comedy about Spies is presented by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence in association with Jo Danvers, with Executive Producer Jonathan Sayer.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is based on the 1968 film of the same name. It tells the story of a widowed eccentric inventor named Caratacus Potts, and his two children Jemima and Jeremy Potts who live with their batty Grandpa Potts. While the children are playing truant from school, they meet Truly Scrumptious. The children want their father to buy an old racing car from the scrap heap which he restores only to discover it is magical and can float and fly. However, everything does not run smoothly when the evil Baran Bomburst wants the magical car for himself. Thinking Grandpa is the inventor he is kidnapped and taken to Vulgaria. Caratacus, the children and Truly head to Vulgaria in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to rescue Grandpa.
Caratacus Potts in this performance was played by Adam Garcia, he was brilliant and played the role well and connected with the children.
Grandpa Potts was played by Liam Fox who most people will know from Emmerdale and gave that battiness to Grandpa’s performance.
In this performance the child catcher was played by Callum Train. Unfortunately, Charlie Brooks will not appear in the Sheffield performances due to her Dancing on Ice commitments. Callum brought the evilness of the child catcher to life.
Truly Scrumptious (Ellie Nunn) is elegant and has good vocals. I loved “Toot Sweets” and “Doll on a Box”, which she performed to perfection.
As with all main children’s parts there are 4 boys and 4 girls playing the roles of Jemima and Jeremy. We were lucky enough to see Gracie Cochrane who had extremely good stage presence and good expressions, I’m sure Gracie will go far. Making his first professional debut as Jeremy was Roshan Tomson. Roshan played the part well and I’m sure once he has more credits under his belt he will shine.
Martin Callaghan played the Baron and Jenny Gayner as the Baroness, they were incredibly funny and all I will say is “Bottom burp”. When you watch this show you will know what I mean.
The car was absolutely incredible, transforming it into a floating car on the sea by using an inflatable underneath to the magnificent flying car which was brilliant. At one point a small remote car zoomed along the stage which was funny but when they tried to recreate the flying car with the small car it wasn’t as good.
All the costumes were good, I particularly liked the ones in The Bamba Samba scene and the fairground ones, the helter-skelter one being a favourite of mine.
There are lots of loud bangs and flashes, some of which make you jump.
Of course, the best song had to be “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”.
The show ended with a fitting tribute and dedication to The Vivienne who until their death had been playing the Child Catcher.
