The King's Head Theatre announces Playmill; a curated three-week festival of new work from emerging companies, committed to paying actors. 35 brand new shows from the UK's most exciting emerging companies are set to hit the stage at the King's Head Theatre this July. Playmill is a three-week, curated season featuring drama, comedy, storytelling and musical theatre.

THE LAST FIVE YEARS is a 2001 off-Broadway musical by Jason Robert Brown that took the author's own failed marriage to Theresa O'Neill as inspiration for this intimate yet powerful musical. It was also adapted into a film in 2015. The story is a look at the five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. Structurally, it is unique in that the story is not only mostly sung through, with just the barest of spoken dialogue, but also in how it tells the story from two different perspectives. Jamie (Joseph Urick) tells the story chronologically, while Cathy (Ginger Martel) tells the story backward. They only sing together once, during their wedding in the middle of the show. While the characters do sing together at the end, the songs are counterpoint to each other rather than both characters singing the same song. THE LAST FIVE YEARS is the inaugural tour being presented by ARIA Creative in association with the newly formed Texas Light Opera.

Most Wanted in association with LittleMighty present Life by The Throat. Award-winning writer-performer and former Coronation Street star Eve Steele performs one man's life from birth to death in this gritty, true-to-life performance exploring class, gender and living life on society's margins. The show launches a UK tour running Tuesday 18 April - Saturday 20 May 2017. Press night is Wednesday 19 April at Theatre503, London. Scroll down for a first look at Eve in action!

The second longest-running show in Broadway history, CATS, that renowned Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that purred its way to a Tony win for Best Musical in 1982, is certainly one of those shows almost everyone and their mother has seen at least once. It is also most notably known for being the musical that begat the ubiquitous musical theater staple 'Memory.' But more than that, CATS is also a musical wholly representative of the era that gave birth to it, the kind of critique-proof show that is shrewdly designed as an entertainment juggernaut performance piece greeted with enthusiastic cheers and repeat viewings. Musical Theatre West in Long Beach offers a lively, entertaining, Broadway-caliber revival through February 27 at the Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts.

Musical Theatre West is proud to announce the opening of its production of CATS at the beautiful 1,070-seat Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach. CATS previews February 11 and runs February 12 through February 27, 2011. Dana Solimando directs and choreographs Musical Theatre West's production of CATS with musical direction by Dennis Castellano.
