Violet (Charing Cross Theatre)Verdict: Spoilt by the sound systemRating:That easily overlooked venue, the Charing Cross Theatre, has installed a traverse stage with revolve for Violet, an American musical which has finally made it to Britain after more than 20 years. The Charing Cross is doing well to stage neglected musicals and the new layout is bold. Six (Arts Theatre)Verdict: Queens, the musicalRating:January's lull allowed me at last to catch Six, the rap musical sketch show about Henry VIII’s wives. It emerged from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and has been doing strong business at the Arts Theatre. A globetrotting musical phenomenon, the show completes its 5,000th performance on Saturday after 21 years on the road.
