Toulouse-Lautrec: The Musical

Toulouse Lautrec’s life was a colourful one, worthy of musical exploration, and this Japanese company’s dedication is admirable, in a one-man show, helmed by Japanese performer/songwriter Jun Sawaki. But while Sawaki undoubtedly offers his all to the piece, it still lacks the pace and musical gravitas to make it truly memorable.

C Aquila, 0845 260 1234, until 29 Aug, 4.10pm, £9.50–£10.50 (£8.50–£9.50).
