It’s been five years since the last series of Operation Ouch!, the gleefully knockabout kids’ medical-slash-biology CBBC show that made stars of its identical twin doctor co-hosts, Chris and Alexander van Tulleken.

Hello, and welcome to the Time Out theatre reviews round up.
From huge star vehicles and massive West End musical to hip fringe shows and more, this is a compliation of all the latest London reviews from the Time Out theatre team, which is me plus our team of freelance critics.
