Theatre’s back, back, back again, and Alyssa Edwards is its unexpected new star. Walking into the Vaudeville Theatre – mask on, temperature checked, ticket in hand – I wasn’t entirely sure how a West End show starring, by and about Alyssa Edwards would work. After all, there’s a big difference between watching a two-act theatre revue and bingeing “Best of Alyssa Edwards” YouTube compilations for the 17th time in lockdown three. Tongue pops and back rolls will only take you so far – but fortunately, Alyssa Edwards is much more than that. If you’ve watched her Netflix series, PinkNews‘ eye-opening interview with Alyssa, here), you’ll be familiar with the Texan queen’s genuine warmth and lightning-quick wit – both of which seem to find their natural home on the West End stage.
