The 2026 revival of Our Little Hour, the musical inspired by the life of Walter Tull, will tour theatres across the UK from February to March. Leon Newman will return in the title role following acclaim for the 2024 tour, joined by Neil Reidman and Geebs Marie Williams in principal roles.
According to the New York Post, Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson will soon make her Broadway debut in an upcoming revival of THE COLOR PURPLE. Produced by Oprah Winfrey, who also produced the original 2005 production, this version of the show started at London's Menier Chocolate Factory, directed by John Doyle. Michael Riedel writes that Winfrey called Hudson personally to ask her to play Celie in the musical.
