Billy Eichner has secured his next project, and it’s going to be a Christmas film. According to a report from Page Six, the Bros star co-wrote the upcoming project with playwright and Sister Act screenwriter Paul Rudnick. While the untitled film, which was sold to Amazon, is in its early stages, Eichner shared a few details with the news outlet about what fans can expect. “It’s about a mother-son duo from New York City who go up to spend Christmas with my character’s creepy brother in a charming small town…

Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana is an original take on the festive classic – review

admin, , , ,

It’s nearly Christmas, which means a whole host of festive shows have opened all over London, and earlier this week we made our way to the Southbank Centre to catch the touring production of Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana (it will be playing at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking and then the Milton Keynes Theatre in January). Last year we caught the Tuff Nutt Jazz Club rendition of The Nutcracker at the Southbank Centre; this year’s version is decidedly different, with a Cuban influence – the musical score has…

On 6th and 7th December they’ll be performing at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at London’s Southbank Centre with their retro themed concert Christmas Bop. It’s time to dust off your diamanté dancing shoes and join the Chorus for a toe-tapping trip back to the…

John Simm stars as Scrooge as festive favourite A Christmas Carol returns to the Old Vic – review

admin, , , ,

We should probably mention right away that we’ve already seen this show and we already like it – so it will probably not come as a surprise to find out that we enjoyed our night with A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic theatre. Jack Thorne’s production (based, of course, on Charles Dickens’ classic novel of the same name) has played every festive season since 2017, with a well-known actor taking the lead as one of Dickens’ most infamous creations, Scrooge. This year we have John Simm (Life on Mars)…

A therapist’s guide to navigating the festive season as a queer person

admin, , , ,

While December is supposed to be full of cheer, family microaggressions don’t exactly get us in the Christmas spirit. Luckily, we’ve called in an expert to impart some much-needed advice on how to cope. WORDS BY JAMIE WINDUST  By now, it’s a cliché that the festive period is ~challenging~ for a variety of reasons. But the stereotype isn’t just the central premise of pretty much every festive romcom ever, it also bears more than a grain of truth – especially for individuals under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.  Of course, there are…

Christopher Eccleston stars as Scrooge in festive treat A Christmas Carol – review

admin, , , ,

We adore this production of A Christmas Carol – it’s such a treat every time it comes around. Jack Thorne’s adaptation has played at London’s The Old Vic every festive season since 2017 (although it didn’t enjoy its usual full run in 2020, for obvious reasons), each time with a big name starring as Ebenezer Scrooge, one of Charles Dickens’ most infamous creations. For the 2023 season we have Christopher Eccleston who is a perfect fit for the role. Not much changes with this production each year, so there will…
