It's a hard life being an understudy. It's even harder when you're the understudy to a much-loved Olivier-winning star whose name is selling the whole show. That's the situation for Natasha J Barnes, Sheridan Smith's understudy as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl.

We round up the reactions so far to the Olivier Award nominations - social media has been buzzing since this afternoon's announcement!

Soul singer and musical theatre star Shaun Escoffery will perform a special show at Leicester Square Theatre in London on March 2nd, 2016.

When Jeff Wayne decided to write a musical version of HG Wells's sci-fi classic The War of the Worlds, he could have had no idea that 40 years later his score would be performed in a West End theatre. It tells the tale of a journalist who witnesses the Martians' descent to earth - and their subsequent battle with humankind.

Julie Atherton makes her debut at Crazy Coqs this week (16th-20th February) with a set list that includes songs from her albums plus career highlights as well as new material. Julie is one of the West End's most versatile entertainers, with a distinctive voice and unmatched comic timing. The Preston-born star is well known as a supporter of new writing in musical theatre. She's always done the same in her recordings, and that continues in her latest album. 'Rush of Life'.
