The Drifters Girl – the brand new musical which tells the remarkable story of one of the world's greatest vocal groups and the woman who made them – is to extend its run at Garrick Theatre in London to Saturday 2 July 2022.

Heathers The Musical is a dark comedy, with the emphasis on the dark, making the comedy at times uncomfortable. A horror story in bold colours and bright songs. Yet it is surprising how entertaining and enjoyable a show can be with a story so unlikeable.

Donny Osmond, Julian Clary, Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers, Gary Wilmot, Jac Yarrow and Sophie Isaacs will star in Pantoland at The Palladium which continues to 9 January 2022 for a strictly limited five week run.  They are joined by world-famous The Tiller Girls and by Australian speciality act Flame Oz along with the return of spectacular special effects from the Twins FX.

Everyone's favourite kooky family are back on stage. The spectacular musical comedy from the writers of multi award-winning hit musical JERSEY BOYS, with music and lyrics by TONY AWARD nominated Andrew Lippa stars Joanne Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing and The Rocky Horror Show) as Morticia and Cameron Blakely reprising his role as Gomez.

The Drifters Girl, despite that missing apostrophe, should be a smash-hit jukebox musical. A plethora of familiar hits, a remarkably talented cast and the inspiring story of Faye Treadwell, the African-American woman who took over as the group’s manager and steered them to global success despite legal battles, sexism and racism. In reality, the brilliant cast is not enough to disguise the lack of cogent storytelling and emotional engagement.
