It's a delight to see a showman of the old school back in the West End. Jim Dale takes us through his music hall roots (and teenage dance classes) to pop stardom to Carry On to Hollywood, showing some nimble footwork along the way as well as vocal cords that are still in excellent shape.

With decades in showbusiness behind him, Jim Dale is heading back to the UK for a limited run in his one-man show - already a hit in New York. UK editor-in-chief Carrie Dunn talked to him about his plans for his time in London, his career, and his tips for young performers...

Known to millions for his TV and comedy work, Alexander Armstrong, a former choral scholar at Trinity College Cambridge, announces he has signed his first album deal with East West Records, a label of the Warner Music Group home to a diverse roster of artists from Michael Buble to Simply Red and actor Hugh Laurie.

Jamie Parker talks about the Old Vic, the Chocolate Factory, Stephen Sondheim, and being charming in a 1950s way...

I haven't approached a show with such a mix of trepidation and excitement for a very long while. For the uninitiated, Shock Treatment is the filmic 'equal' to The Rocky Horror [Picture] Show - but rather than battling transvestite aliens, Brad and Janet are caught up in a reality media nightmare as the cracks in their marriage are exposed live on the local television channel.

The Last Five Years is released at cinemas and video-on-demand today - so we celebrated by talking to its star, Jeremy Jordan!

To celebrate the release of the Original London Cast Album of the award-winning Memphis the Musical, we're giving five lucky readers the chance to win a copy of the album to rock along to all day and night!

Janie Dee is in rehearsal today for Ah, Wilderness! at the Young Vic. It was a late night after her cabaret at the Crazy Coqs - and now it's an early start. That doesn't dampen the spirits of one of the cheeriest and hardest working women in musical theatre.

All the other reviews I've read of this play are prefaced with a little note that the critic isn't a professional wrestling fan, and they go on to use terms such as 'bonkers' or 'far-fetched' to describe it. Well, I am a professional wrestling fan (I've even written a book about it), and 'Lardo', while funny and surreal in places, is very much rooted in life.

Anna-Jane Casey is as effervescent as usual when she takes a break from rehearsing Jerry's Girls, a reveue of the work of Jerry Herman, which opened at the St James Theatre this week.

Daniel Koek talks to BWW:UK about why he's into cabaret at the moment, and his future in Les Miserables...

He's running around in his Book of Mormon hoodie, but Dan Buckley's new role is a world away from missionary work. He's taking bumps and throwing strikes as wrestler Lardo in the eponymous play soon to open at the Old Red Lion Theatre - a whole new set of skills.

Ashley Day talks Rodgers and Hammerstein, The Book of Mormon, and hairstyles...

The life of Marie Curie - moving from Poland to France, her happy marriage and working partnership with Pierre, the Nobel Prizes, the death from radiation poisoning - seems ample material for a terrific drama.

Swapping concert halls and TV studios for the intimacy of one of London's leading fringe theatres might be a challenge, but it's one Charlotte Jaconelli is looking forward to.

Louise Dearman is always a delight to interview - she's invariably excited about her next project and has plenty to say. Her current project, though, is a special one.
