About this episode
Last month, Mickey-Jo had the privilege of attending the gala performance of JUST FOR ONE DAY at the Shaftesbury Theatre in the West End, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. Mickey-Jo first saw the show, which depicts the iconic simultaneous concerts in Wembley and Philadelphia, at the Old Vic Theatre where it premiered, whereupon he gave it a lukewarm review. He's thrilled to say that he believes the show is much stronger in its West End transfer, and with this full review Mickey-Jo will let you know exactly why that is... • 00:00 | introduction 01:50 | the improvement 08:55 | standout moments 18:54 | performances About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.
