John Partridge News

The beloved Lyric Hammersmith Theatre pantomime will return this festive season with Jack and the Beanstalk. You can now get a first look inside rehearsals.

Michael McKeever's play mixes fact, gossip, and invention in a spicy drama that offers a biting comment on the grime behind the glitter of Hollywood. John Partridge is superb as Billy Haines, both a smooth charmer and a crumpled defeatist.The Code is a very artificial play in many ways. It gleefully regurgitates snark and gossip and treads a line where folks have to 'put on a show' within a show.

The cast has been set for the brand-new London production of THE CODE by Michael McKeever, which will run at Southwark Playhouse Elephant. Learn more here!

West End Charity Football Club will present the return of The Big West End Walk. Last year's walk raised over £4K for Acting for Others. Learn more here!

Wilton's Music Hall has announced its Spring 2025 season, presenting a diverse and dynamic range of performances that continue to celebrate the rich artistic heritage of this historic venue.

West End Charity Football Club has announced that more than £4,000 was raised at The Big West End Walk, in aid of Acting for Others. The walk, held on Sunday 8 September 2024, smashes last year's target, which totalled just over £3.5k raised.

This is a gold standard production in every sense of the phrase. It holds up extremely well against the west end production, to which inevitable comparisons will be drawn. Ivano Turco is fourth in a line of iconic Jamies past, and his elegance of movement is what sets him apart from those who stood before him. Turco’s beauty and grace is imbued in every step taken and every note sung, and it takes no time at all to fall in love with him.
