If you like seeking out more unusual and emerging musicals then London’s Off-West End always has plenty to offer and you may just spot the new ROCKY HORROR SHOW, which started out in a tiny venue in the 1970s.

Preview Report: KING KONG at The Broadway Theatre, New York
By Phil Willmott Monday, October 29 2018, 07:14
I need to preface this report by reiterating that this production is still in previews, the producers have deep pockets and no doubt it will continue to evolve until the show is “frozen” - a theatre term which means no more changes are allowed before press night to allow the cast to settle in.

Review: BERNHARDT/HAMLET at the American Airlines Theater, Broadway
By Phil Willmott Friday, October 26 2018, 11:05
I hope we get this scintillating Broadway comedy with its British star, Janet McTeer, in the West End soon. It certainly deserves a transfer. Not only is is an enjoyable backstage comedy and a dramatisation of a fascinating historical event but it also tackles the red hot topicality of women in theatre at a time when so many of us are hungry for women to excel outside of the secondary roles historically allocated to them.

Her last major piece CONSENT transferred from the National Theatre to the West End and was a searing, funny and poignant mating dance to rival anything by Strindberg, Chekhov or Ibsen.
