I’M EVERY WOMAN – THE CHAKA KHAN MUSICAL will make its London premiere at Hackney Empire from 20 - 25 March. Watch an all new trailer for the musical in the video here!

All new production photos have been released from I'M EVERY WOMAN - THE CHAKA KHAN MUSICAL. I’M EVERY WOMAN – THE CHAKA KHAN MUSICAL will make its London premiere at Hackney Empire from 20 - 25 March.

Due to essential building works requiring the temporary closure of the Peacock Theatre, the originally scheduled March engagement of I’m Every Woman – The Chaka Khan Musical will no longer proceed.

There’s a particular thrill experiencing the familiar in an unfamiliar way - seeing a favorite dramatic actor in a comedic role, eating a “deconstructed” dish with all the familiar ingredients of a favorite entrée but delivered in a very different way, or watching a new film that revisits a classic story. For fans of musical theatre, and in particular, the songbook of award-winning composer and lyricist, Stephen Schwartz, the musical SNAPSHOTS revisits the familiar (and rare) and weaves Schwartz’ classic melodies into a new tapestry – delivering a narrative that resonates on a deep and human level and explores themes of love, regret, and the passage of time. In the skilled hands of The Winter Park Playhouse, this personal and poignant piece captivates, entertains, and touches the heart in a way that will move you deeply and then have you rushing home to hold tightly to those you love.

Stephen Schwartz's musical SNAPSHOTS will premiere at The Winter Park Playhouse in Orlando from September 20 to October 13, 2024. Don't miss this limited engagement of the acclaimed composer's work.

Sometimes a production comes along that finds the perfect synergy between content, cast and creative vision ultimately delivering an elevated theatrical experience. And when that show is lesser known, but wildly entertaining that makes this perfect alignment seem even more rare. I am thrilled to say that The Winter Park Playhouse has found just such a production in DESPERATE MEASURES, the final offering in its 20th season. This rollicking, hilarious and superbly performed musical comedy is sure to thrill and shows off why The Winter Park Playhouse is truly a gem in the Orlando theatre community.

Powerful as that theme may be, DOGFIGHT as written isn't fully the righteous proposition it hopes to be. At its core are some deeply troublesome male figures who engage in truly horrendous behavior, and while theatre is always welcome to put unseemly or complicated characters on the stage, DOGFIGHT never entirely deals with their deeds, which include among other things attempted rape. Playwright Peter Duchan clearly understands his character to be problematic, but their brisk redemption by way of jaunty music and degrees of forgiveness from the women on stage can at times feel like unearned absolution...
