From Monday 12 June 2017, there will be major cast changes at the West End production of "LES MISERABLES" at the Queen's Theatre, which is now in its record breaking 33rd year.

Last night was the 2017 Olivier Awards at London's Royal Albert Hall. Big winners included Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Groundhog Day and Amber Riley for Dreamgirls - find a full list here.

The critically acclaimed and multi award-winning new musical AN AMERICAN IN PARIS had its official London premiere tonight, Tuesday 21 March, at the beautifully restored Dominion Theatre. Christopher Wheeldon's stunning reinvention of the Oscar-winning film (that starred Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron) features the sublime music and lyrics of George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin and a new book by Craig Lucas. 

Due to an illness within the producer's family and overwhelming unexpected circumstances, SLEEPLESS The Musical has been postponed.  The producer hopes to have further news of the future of the production next year.

Fresh from the Final of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, Danny Mac and West End leading lady Carley Stenson, will be playing the roles of Sam and Annie in the world premiere of SLEEPLESS the Musical.

Following the 10th anniversary West End gala performance of WICKED on 27 September, creator Stephen Schwartz joined current and past performers from the show on the Apollo Victoria Theatre stage, and then at a suitably greenified afterparty.

The latest production in the Park Theatre's Park 90 auditorium is a revival of Neil LaBute's Some Girl(s). Brought to the stage by the Buckland Theatre Company, the play follows Guy as he revisits some old flames in an attempt to exorcise some relationship demons before his wedding.

SOME GIRL(S) opens tomorrow night at the PARK Theatre. The production stars Roxanne Pallett, Carley Stenson, Carolyn Backhouse, Elly Condron and Charles Dorfman. Some Girl(s) is written by iconiclasic American playwright Neil LaBute and is the darkly funny story of Guy (Charles Dorfman) who travels across America to make amends with his four ex-girlfriends.

When I was first approached to direct this play I wasn't sure I wanted to do it. Some Girl(s) has a main character who appears, on first and second reading, to be a prize cock who exhibits a host of unflattering male traits. On the page he was not a likeable man. Add to that the play's simplistic and seemingly undramatic form, basically four two-handers in a row taking place in one hotel room - I didn't respond warmly to it.

London is never short of theatre temptations, whether splashy West End shows, epic dramas or bold fringe offerings. From a magical mega-hit and musical revivals to plays with strong political resonance, here are some of this month's most eye-catching openings. Don't forget to check back for BroadwayWorld's reviews…

Today, Buckland Theatre Company have released publicity images for SOME GIRL(S), their first play in PARK90 at Park Theatre. Written by multi Tony Award-nominated Neil LaBute, Some Girl(s) will play 14 July - 6 August with a press night on 19 July. Tickets are on sale at www.parktheatre.co.uk
