It’s always good to hear that a fringe show is moving to a bigger, more central venue and that’s exactly what will happen on September 28th when musical, The Toxic Avenger, transfers to the Arts Theatre for a strictly limited 10-week season.
It began its London life at Southwark Playhouse attracting sold out houses and 6 Off West End Award nominations including Best New Musical.

The Toxic Avenger, who takes up residence at the Arts Theatre in September won’t be the only monster heading to the West End this winter. Although the Gruffalo is a much more cuddly beast designed to appeal to kids and the child in us all.
Following the success of the original Gruffalo stage show in central London, sequel The Gruffalo’s Child centres around his daughter who must learn to be brave in the outside world when, one wild and windy night she ignores her father’s warning, ventures out into the snow and risks an encounter with the scary Big Bad Mouse.

It's no surprise that the Almeida Theatre is to transfer their smash hit production of Hamlet to the West End, starring Andrew Scott and Juliet Stephenson and directed by Robert Ike.

If you’re a fan of the musicals of Stephen Sondheim such as SWEENEY TODD (recently at the London Coliseum) FOLLIES (about to be revived at the National Theatre) MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG (at the Harold Pinter Theatre a year ago) SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (currently on in New York starring movie star Jake Gyllenhaal) and COMPANY (soon to be reinterpreted in the West End with a woman as the central character) you may enjoy the rare opportunity to discover an early work of his, ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, which I’ve just directed at The Union Theatre and which runs until March 8th.
