Mark Goucher Productions has today agreed a new deal that will see Tom O'Connell join Mark Goucher Productions as Producer. Tom O'Connell produced the recent hit production of Joe Orton's Loot at The Park Theatre, Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band starring Mark Gatiss at the Vaudeville/Park Theatre/UK Tour, along with the twentieth anniversary production of Jonathan Harvey's Beautiful Thing starring Suranne Jones, amongst many others.

It has been reported that Ryan Murphy, the creator of 'Glee' and the FX series, 'Feud,' and 'American Horror Story' has optioned the rights to Mart Crowley's play 'The Boys in the Band,' Sources tell the New York Post that Murphy's goal is to bring the show to Broadway for a 50th anniversary revival next spring.

After a critically-acclaimed sell-out run in New York City, playwright,  performer and activist James Lecesne will bring his inspirational solo show, The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, to Hartford Stage from Thursday, March 30, through Sunday, April 23.  The play deftly navigates the effects of bullying and the search for identity while telling an uplifting story about love, overcoming prejudices, and being true to one's self.

Following a stint at London's Park Theatre and a UK tour, the revival production of Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band has a brief run on the West End; it takes over from Dead Funny in the Vaudeville prior to Stepping Out. Revolutionary when it first premiered on Broadway in 1968, it still has the potential to shock today - making its presence more important than ever.

Producers Tom O'Connell and James Seabright are thrilled to announce a West End transfer for their sell-out production of Mart Crowley's ground-breaking play, THE BOYS IN THE BAND, opening at the Vaudeville Theatre on 7 February 2017, playing for a limited two week season until 18 February.

When Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band premiered Off Broadway in 1968, a year before the Stonewall Riots, it was groundbreaking in its depiction of a community of gay men. The work - later adapted into a film - has since fallen in and out of favour, its frank emphasis on self-loathing and catty, camp one-liners at odds with some positive image-focussed equal rights campaigners.

London is never short of theatre temptations, whether splashy West End shows, epic dramas or bold fringe offerings. From Amadeus and a starry Stoppard revival to exciting new musicals, here are some of this month's most eye-catching openings. Don't forget to check back for BroadwayWorld's reviews…
