Gemma Page and Michael Kirk are the co-writers of the Park Theatre's Hatched'N'Dispatched, starring Wendi Peters. We talked to Gemma to find out about the play...

The Twins Macabre - fresh from their success in the King's Head's hit Shock Treatment and their own broadcast appearances - are about to perform at the Spiegeltent. This new show is part-vaudeville, part-horror, and as Twin Nic Lamont says: 'We're drawn to the dark side of everyday life - this show sees the freaks in all of us.'

Alexandra Silber talks to BWW:UK about her forthcoming solo shows at Crazy Coqs, plus the forthcoming FIDDLER ON THE ROOF - and why she wants to sing SHE LOVES ME at the Proms next year, please...

Whether you're in Holland, Germany, the UK or the US, Willemijn Verkaik should need no introduction. Donning the Wicked green make-up in all four countries, Verkaik's credits include Donna in Mamma Mia, the Killer Queen in We Will Rock You and most recently Kala in Stuttgart's Tarzan.

BWW: UK editor-in-chief Carrie Dunn spoke to Maury Yeston the day after he'd seen the production of Grand Hotel - to which he contributed both music and lyrics - at the Southwark Playhouse...

I was invited to the exciting West End launch of Stiles and Drewe's latest, The Three Little Pigs - but as customary when I'm reviewing shows that are primarily aimed at a younger audience, I'll emphasise that what I thought about it doesn't really matter...

Theatre folk might be very familiar with her name - primarily because of her Olivier-nominated turn in Jerry Springer the Opera - but Alison Jiear came to national prominence earlier this year when she entered the Simon Cowell-led star search Britain's Got Talent. She's now using her high profile to fund a Kickstarter to record and release her album, Inspirational.

Want to be a winner as Will Barratt prepares to launch his new album Confessions of a Justified SInner?

It's a joyous little show in the Park this summer, with this revival of the rather old-hat Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - never quite in the calibre of the Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals, but a traditional favourite and staple of am-dram nonetheless.

'Mack and Mabel' could possibly be Jerry Herman's greatest score. It's certainly the score with the most resonance for a British audience (the programme notes for this Chichester production even highlight how fondly the music is thought of in the UK thanks to Torvill and Dean's adoption of it). And however good this production turned out to be, its forthcoming UK tour is bound to be a hit simply on the name of Michael Ball, its leading man.

When BWW:UK speaks to Rebecca LaChance, she's in the middle of a chaotic tech week before Mack and Mabel opens for previews at Chichester Festival Theatre. She doesn't sound tired, though - just sparklingly enthusiastic!

As soon as Ann Hampton Callaway and Liz Callaway walked out on to the stage, I felt an overwhelming urge to weep.

We talk to the West End's Nick Massi about the show, moving theatres, and what Frankie Valli is REALLY like...

The sisters are back in London and ready for their cabaret! We ask them about the show and their future plans.

Mazz Murray talks to us about ABBA, Queen, and FA Cup Finals...

Actor Ron Moody, perhaps best known for his award-winning turn as Fagin in Oliver! on stage and on screen, has passed away at the age of 91.

We talk to the actress, singer and impressionist about her recent trip to the UK...

It's relatively rare for a reviewer to return to a small fringe show multiple times in its six-week run - but that's what I've done with Shock Treatment, which closes this weekend at the King's Head...

When we speak, Jonathan Slinger is a couple of weeks into his run as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. He's had a lot of press interviews lately, and combined with the strenuous performance schedule, it's no wonder he's a touch tired.
