Watch the video trailer for , This is My Family which follows the disastrous family holiday, brought to London for the first time by Tim Firth (‘Our House’) and Vicky Featherstone (‘Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour’).

Someone once told me writing a musical with an original story would be like climbing Everest. This turned out to be not entirely true. A mountaineer at least knows Everest is there to be climbed. That it has a top to be reached. That it will not disappear under him halfway up. None of these comforts are afforded the writer. You have to have a really good reason for abandoning the reassurance of a pre-existing story.

Like Tim Firth’s other works, This Is My Family makes the ordinary extraordinary while carrying a raw truthfulness. It may not one hundred percent work as a musical in my opinion, but it’s still a funny, relatable yet bittersweet show with a stellar cast.

Anthology Theatre has released production photos of the London premiere of Tim Firth’s Award-winning musical This Is My Family. This brand-new production opens at Southwark Playhouse Elephant on 28 May, with previews from 23 May, and runs until 12 July.

It’s very much a case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The winning formula of gruesome body-horror thrills, teenage romance, and fuzzy edged nostalgia for the analogue age will feel familiar in this highly anticipated stage prequel. But if that formula is raking in millions who is complaining? If it’s Stranger Things you want, it’s Stranger Things you’ll get.

Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, the wife of Alexander, 'who lived, died, and told their story,' 50 years after the death of her husband, closes the show, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 'Hamilton,' with hands clasped on her chest, and an ambiguous gasp. Ask any actress who played Eliza what the hard breathing was; each one would give a vague answer because it was a different moment every time for each one.

En 2015, un 17 de febrero, HAMILTON subía el telón por primera vez off-Broadway. El aclamado musical de Lin Manuel Miranda se estrenaba en Public Theatre bajo la dirección de Thomas Kail y la coreografía de Andy Blankenbuehler.

Un 21 de diciembre de 2017 el telón del Victoria Palace Theatre se alzaba para acoger al gran éxito de los últimos años en Broadway: HAMILTON.
