Review: THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS A Preview Performance at The London Palladium
By Steve Markwick Monday, June 26 2017, 14:54
The Wind in the Willows is given the big musical treatment by the team behind the re-working of Mary Poppins and most recently Half A Sixpence - lyricist Anthony Drewe, composer George Stiles and book writer Julian Fellowes. Going right back to their early days with Just So, through the Olivier-winning Honk! and last year’s Three Little Pigs, there’s something about anthropomorphic animal stories that get Stiles & Drewe’s creative juices flowing and in particular give Anthony Drewe’s rhyming muscles a work out. Full of terrific, freshly-minted lyrics that are a joy to hear (and that can’t always be said for every ear-splitting West End show) we get “foxes” rhymed with “equinoxes”, “prickles” and “vehicles” (as a family of hedgehogs nervously wait to cross a busy road) and more rhymes for Toad then have probably ever been counted.

Why are the London Producers of YANK! so coy about its Gay Storyline?
By Phil Willmott Monday, June 26 2017, 14:46
The modest Charing Cross Theatre, situated underneath the arches of the railway station which gives the venue it’s name, is fast establishing itself as a home for innovative and quality musical theatre.
I'm glad to hear that the next production will be YANK! Yank was the nick name given to American soldiers in the Second World War and there’s long been a buzz about the piece amongst show aficionados in New York following a try out production Up State and Off Broadway in 2010.

Khaled Hosseini’s 2003 novel The Kite Runner has proved one of the runaway hit books of the 21st century, and has since featured everywhere from Hollywood films to exam syllabuses. This simple, at times limited production originated in Nottingham Playhouse, before transferring to the West End’s Playhouse Theatre in June.

Review: TRISTAN & YSEULT at Shakespeare’s Globe
By Phil Willmott Wednesday, June 21 2017, 09:18
It’s been a bit of roller-coaster ride at the Globe Theatre this year.
First the newly appointed Artistic Director, Emma Rice, stepped down; which may or may not have been because venue bosses objected to her introduction of amplified sound and stage lighting to a theatre that had only ever used natural light and sound as in Shakespeare’s day.
