Familiar and safe it may be, but the show delivers spectacle and entertainment as only theatre can

Tom Hollander has revealed that he has stopped opening fan mail as he fears being poisoned by an “overzealous FSB agent” during the run of his anti-Putin play, Patriots.

Hot off Broadway with a Best Musical Tony and a Pulitzer Prize for its script, Michael R Jackson’s A Strange Loop comes to London for a summer run at The Barbican.

A Strange Loop has officially transferred from Broadway to London’s Barbican Theatre for a one-time-only 12-week limited season. Let's see what the critics had to say.

A Strange Loop, the ground-breaking and critically acclaimed winner of every ‘Best Musical’ award on Broadway and the Pulitzer Prize, bursts onto the stage of the Barbican this June for a one time only, limited season. Check out the first look at production photos of the show.

With humour and sympathy, James Graham's play gives the nation the leader it needs

It can be a daunted thing to bring Shakespeare’s work to life – it’s something that is so familiar to the public that it can sometimes feel tired and overdone. And yet Rebecca Frecknall’s production of Romeo and Juliet at the Almeida is a wonderful retelling of a Shakespearean classic.  

BroadwayWorld caught up Beverley Klein and Teddy Kempner, two of the newest cast members, as they take over as Herr Shultz and Fraulein Schneider.

Although set in 1991, Peter Morgan’s Patriots feels urgently current. On the day that the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine was breached, causing extensive flooding, it is sends more than a slight chill down the spine to watch such a stark portrayal of how a few throwaway decisions led to the rise of Putin and his authoritarian regime.

The first photos have been released of CABARET's new stars, Maude Apatow (HBO’s Euphoria) as Sally Bowles, Mason Alexander Park (Netflix’s The Sandman) as Emcee, Beverley Klein as Fraulein Schneider and Teddy Kempner as Herr Schultz.

All new photos have been released for Patriots at the Noel Coward Theatre, Peter Morgan’s new play, which won the Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Play 2023. 

Summer kicks off in style on London's stage, with the return of Andy Karl in the Old Vic's Groundhog Day, to the West End transfers of Peter Morgan's latest play and the arrival of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning big, Black, and queer American musical, A Strange Loop.

Final casting and the full creative team has been announced for the London season of the smash-hit musical A Strange Loop. A Strange Loop is transferring from Broadway to London’s Barbican Theatre for a one-time-only 12-week limited season from 17 June, with a producing team including the National Theatre, Jennifer Hudson and Alan Cumming among others.

With the swashbuckling zeal of a rowdy tavern brawl and all the brash bravado you can shake a bulging cod piece at, the Sean Holmes helmed The Comedy of Errors crashes onto the Globe stage to start the summer season with a bang.

A modern musical fairytale, Once On This Island is Romeo and Juliet set in the French Antilles with the two lovers on opposite sides of a race and class divide. Regent’s Park Theatre opens its 2023 season with a humdinger of a revival, a real foot-stomper that rings in the ears long after the last song finishes.

The National Theatre has announced the full cast for Dear England, a new play by James Graham telling the story of the England men’s football team under Gareth Southgate’s management. See rehearsal photos!
