Sandi Toksvig and Ronnie Corbett have announced the starry line-up from the worlds of comedy, music and magic, who will be joining them on stage for SANDI TOKSVIG'S CHRISTMAS CRACKER - a variety family show in the Royal Festival Hall for 10 days only this Christmas.
Originally scheduled for one night only, Notes from New York?s fifth anniversary production of Jason Robert Brown?s The Last 5 Years will now play two additional performances due to phenomenal public demand. With the original performance on Sunday 12 October selling out in less than four weeks of going on sale, West End stars Julie Atherton and Paul Spicer will now share the stage at the prestigious Theatre Royal Haymarket for three nights in total on Sundays 12, 19 and 26 October 2008 in this much anticipated, brand new gala staging.
Connie Fisher makes a welcome return to the stage this week as she begins previews in the Marvin Hamlish/Carole Bayer Sager/Neil Simon musical They're Playing Our Song at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Previews of the show, which will be directed by Fiona Laird, begin on July 25 prior to an August 4 opening. The production will run till September 28.
For the third year running, the Greenwich Theatre presents the groundbreaking 'The Ten Minute Musical Challenge'. Originally devised by Ellie Jones in 2005, this year's challenge will be directed by Fiona Laird. The challenge is designed to bring together composers, bookwriters and lyricists who have not worked together before, to forge new collaborations and encourage these creative teams to work fast enough to produce a ten minute musical in just one day, from the stimulus of stories in that day's newspaper.
