Southwark Playhouse announces three new “encore” on-demand video streams of musicals performed from the theatre during lockdown.

Alex James Ellison, co-writer of the award-nominated show Fiver, chats about its online revival and what's next for this smash-hit show.

After releasing her first original EP, Notes, in 2017, Caroline released her second, tricks, in June of this year. Both EPs went to #1 in the Irish iTunes album charts and also featured in the U.K. Singer-Songwriter iTunes album charts.

The Southwark Playhouse has made a name for itself in featuring new musicals and inventive revivals. It's a venue that provides a platform for productions that are lesser-known, but have the potential to go further and I suspect with Fiver, they have an uncontested hit on their hands.

Final casting is today announced for the new British musical FIVER, which gets its world premiere at Southwark Playhouse from Wednesday 3 July to Saturday 20 July.

FIVER follows the story of a humble £5 note as it passes through the hands and pockets of different people in London. Often unnoticed and obviously unaware, the fiver is present for significant moments in each person's life - from an appreciation of their skills as a street performer, the start or end of relationships to the simple realisation that they can afford a bed for the night.

Actor/singer/songwriter Alex James Ellison, who supported Samantha Barks on her UK concert tour in 2016, will launch his new single, 'Yours', with a concert at the West End's Above The Arts studio theatre on Sunday, 3 June.

The latest production from New. Theatre Company is a song cycle from Alex James Ellison and Tom Lees; as with last month's The Dysfunctional Guide to Being a Third Wheel it is playing in the cabaret space Live at Zedel. Directed once again by Jordan Murphy, it boasts a talented cast of four: Sabrina Aloueche, Joe Kerry, Jodie Steele and Daniel Buckley.

An all star cast has been announced for the world premiere production of Fiver: A New Musical by Tom Lees and Alex James Ellison.
