Tickets for Tonight at the London Coliseum are on sale now and are available to purchase. The seven intimate acoustic concerts, performed and filmed at the London Coliseum, will be streamed from 18 September -  23 October.

The show must go on: it's been the rallying cry of our beleaguered industry, the message emblazoned on Theatre Support Fund+'s T-shirts and mugs. On Saturday night, we saw that fighting spirit in person, as Janie Dee, co-producer and star of this concert version of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music, marched into a pitiless downpour and cried to the heavens, 'Don't you love farce?!'. As far as spine-tinglingly theatrical moments go, that one will be hard to top.

An outdoor concert production of A Little Night Music was performed at Holland Park on August 15!
