Could Dreamgirls be coming to the West End?
By Oliver Mitford Saturday, March 14 2015, 15:07
The word on the theatrical grapevine is that prolific producer Sonia Friedman has battled off tough competition to secure the rights to the iconic Broadway musical Dreamgirls, and has her sights on a big West End opening.
Dreamgirls first opened on Broadway back in 1981 at the Imperial Theatre to a rapturous reception. The production was nominated for 13 Tony Awards including for Best Musical, and won six. The show was revived again on Broadway in 1987, but it has never ventured over to the West End.

Review of Beautiful The Musical
By Daniel Perks Thursday, March 12 2015, 10:47
One of the better jukebox musicals I have seen on the West End, a slightly stronger supporting cast and meatier storyline would be the icing on the cake here.
I have to admit, before this musical I belonged to one of the uncultured masses. Yes, I had heard of Carole King and I knew she was a famous songwriter, but I couldn’t have named any of her songs. I always associated her with the music of the generation above me, one of the names of the past that I knew was well respected but didn’t really know why.

Review of The Indian Queen at The Coliseum
By Phil Willmott Monday, March 9 2015, 08:31
It’s a time for theatrical marathons. The night after sitting through three and a half hours of the National Theatre’s revival of Man and Superman I found myself at The Coliseum Theatre watching the ENO’s (English National Opera) three hour, forty minutes production of The Indian Queen.
The company has been in the headlines recently as the Arts Council have serious concerns about their finances and many commentators have been questioning whether the huge amount of public funding they receive is value for money.
