The Cosmic Shambles Forest will present an expanded experience at Latitude Festival 2026, featuring two stages, a Museum Street, and a diverse lineup from science to arts.

From the impossibly young Yair Keydar to the legendary nonagenarian Marilyn Maye, the performers at this week’s Jim Caruso’s Cast Party spanned generations—and musical styles. Check out photos from the show!

The multi-award-winning Latitude Festival is poised to return to the beautiful Henham Park in Suffolk from July 25th to 28th, 2024. Headliners Duran Duran, Kasabian, Keane, London Grammar, Sara Pascoe, Jo Brand and Judi Love spearhead an eclectic lineup fusing music with the arts.

The Cosmic Shambles Network has announced the latest amazing list of confirmed guests for Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People at Contact in Manchester and Kings Place, London. 

This is the third production of The World Goes 'Round in and around Los Angeles in the last six months...and another best bet! Sure, it's hard to beat the joyous music of Kander & Ebb, in whatever way it's presented. But this production at DCLO has a style all its own. Though in some ways more traditional than the other two I've seen recently - it plays much like an old-fashioned TV variety show - it has a greatness and a flair... with not only singing and dancing but blending bright anecdotes about the composers - that include delicious personal stories from cast members... and a splendid, splendid cast of 37 actors/singers/dancers, one of the largest casts to do a revue - and it works beautifully thanks to the splendid use of the broad stage by director Marsha Moode and choreographer Nathan Wise!

Marsha Moode aptly describes Crazy For You as a great tonic to help us cope with today's news cycle.The great Gershwin musical score, the corny jokes, thin plot, loony mix-ups... and true 'dreamy' romance all add up to an evening of sheer bliss. DCLO's current production of the Tony winning Best Musical is without question one of their very best and worth the ride to Downey through October 14 only.
