London and Amsterdam Gay Men’s Choruses reunite for Together Again! concert

admin, , , ,

Who doesn’t love a good reunion show? Back in 2017, the London Gay Men’s Chorus travelled to Amsterdam for a joint concert with the Amsterdam Gay Men’s Chorus, called Together. Eight years on from then – and to mark the 10th birthday of the Amsterdam Gay Men’s Chorus – the two groups will be reuniting for a new concert, Together Again!, which is taking place at Conway Hall in London later this month. The show promises to be a celebration of friendship, community and joy, bringing together gay, bi and…

admin, , , ,

Following his acclaimed debut at the venue with Notes & Riffs On Love alongside The Luke Bacchus Trio, lead West End actor and singer Cameron Bernard Jones (Ain’t Too Proud, RENT, Play On!) will return for a new solo concert, featuring a broad repertoire ranging from classic musical theatre tunes to American spirituals and original poetry. He will be joined by pianist, composer and writer Guillermo Nazara, also returning as the show’s music director, following his 2023 debut in There Is Nothing Like A Dame, starring Peter Cummins. The two…

Steps musical Here & Now is a fun, feel-good and fabulous night out – review

admin, , , ,

Following its debut in Birmingham last year, Here & Now – the new musical based on Steps’ back catalogue – has embarked on a UK tour, opening last week at the Manchester Opera House. You’re probably already familiar with the songs – Steps’ music has been a staple of many a queer night and pride event for the best part of three decades – but what is the show all about? This new musical – book by Shaun Kitchener, directed by Rachel Kavanaugh – is set in an English seaside…

Mike Bartlett’s Juniper Blood is a thought-provoking new play about the climate crisis – review

admin, , , ,

We’re big fans of plays that actually say something – and Mike Bartlett’s new show Juniper Blood certainly has a lot to say. Initially, it seems like we’re in for an extremely middle-class, lighthearted drama: we meet couple Ruth (Hattie Morahan) and Lip (Sam Troughton) on the farm they have recently acquired in a bid to live a more eco-friendly, sustainable life. They are visited by Milly (Nadia Parkes), Ruth’s former daughter-in-law; Milly’s friend Femi (Terique Jarrett); and neighbouring farmer Tony (Jonathan Slinger). What begins as an initial conversation about…

“It’s slightly wrong but in all the right ways!” – Trevor Ashley on West End revival of The Producers

admin, , , ,

Ah, The Producers – this iconic Mel Brooks film-turned-musical probably needs no introduction, but we’ll give it a quick one anyway. This classic comedy tells the tale of two failing Broadway creatives who conspire to create a flop show and run away with the money raised to fund it – but complications arise when their tribute to Adolf Hitler is a surprise success. The film was originally a hit way back in 1967; in 2001 it became a runaway success on Broadway, picking up a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards. We’re…

Brigadoon is a charming revival of Lerner & Loewe’s musical at the Open Air Theatre – review

admin, , , ,

We’ll admit that we knew very little about Brigadoon – the final show of this summer’s season at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre – before going to check it out, other than it was written by musical theatre duo Lerner & Loewe (most famous for My Fair Lady). If you’ve not heard of it either, there’s a good reason for that – this is the first London revival for over 35 years. Perhaps the show has been ignored for so long because it’s absolutely ridiculous: we often have to…

Sean Hayes delivers tour de force performance in captivating new play Good Night, Oscar – review

admin, , , ,

Very occasionally a piece of theatre comes along which is so essential that we can’t really say more than this: you absolutely have to see it and you should stop doing whatever you’re doing right now and buy tickets. We will, of course, review Good Night, Oscar in full, but all you really need to know is that it’s absolutely brilliant – the best play we’ve seen in a long, long time. Good Night, Oscar premiered in Chicago in 2022 before transferring to Broadway for a critically-acclaimed run the following…

Burlesque the Musical is a fun and frivolous night out with some great crowdpleasers – review

admin, , , ,

We went to check out Burlesque the Musical last year in Manchester – not in a review capacity, just to see what it was like – so we already had a fair idea of what to expect when the show opened in London at the Savoy Theatre. There have been some tweaks, of course, and this theatre is a very different space to the Manchester Opera House – but by and large it’s the same show, itself an adaptation of the iconic 2010 film starring Cher and Christina Aguilera. We…

Adeel Akhtar is captivating in new political drama The Estate – review

admin, , , ,

We’re big fans of the Dorfman Theatre – the smallest of the three spaces inside the National Theatre, we’ve discovered lots of fantastic new shows that have subsequently transferred to much more major venues. Indeed one recent graduate of the Dorfman – last year’s astonishing Till the Stars Come Down – is currently enjoying a West End run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket this summer. Over the weekend, we went to check out the current Dorfman production, The Estate, which is a new political drama by Shaan Sahota. It tells…

The Diana Mixtape Musical is a strong contender for the campest show in town – review

admin, , , ,

New musical The Diana Mixtape has landed in London at HERE at Outernet and is a strong contender for the campest show in town right now. Starring a quintet of Drag Race icons – Courtney Act, Divina De Campo, Kitty Scott-Claus, Rosé and Priyanka – as the people’s princess (yes, all five play Diana at the same time) – it bills itself as a “concert/musical/event like nothing you have experienced before” and we’re pleased to confirm they’re quite right. It makes for a fun – if rather chaotic – night…
