With the theatre industry in an unprecedented position and venues closed across the UK due to the COVID - 19 outbreak, industry leaders are creatively seeking ways to support theatre and bring it directly to you - at home. Following their hugely popular run at the Other Palace in 2018, the out-of-this-world British musical Eugenius! will release the full archive footage of the show online on Friday 20th March at 7pm in order to raise money for Acting for Others and provide some much-needed relief to those self-isolating.

As we all adjust to the new, strange reality, online entertainment and education has become even more vital. There are a wave of new initiatives and offers coming in all the time, but here is a short guide of where to start in your online theatre and entertainment fix.

'Jollyship the Whiz-Bang' is a hilarious pirate-puppet-rock musical about a drunken captain, a treacherous sea, and a potential mutiny while in search of Party Island. Created by Nick Jones (writer and co-producer for the Netflix hit 'Orange Is the New Black,') the show ran in New York for eight consecutive years. Callie Burk-Hartz saw the show six times while she was still a NYC resident and is so excited to be remounting the production in the Midwest with her own spin, including casting three women in a show written for an all-male cast. This production is an extended version of the hit IndyFringe Festival 2018 show.

Six disguised celebrities and West End stars sing live, but can you identify the voice?!

Paul Taylor-Mills has announced full casting for the Taster Menu series of new musicals featuring as part of MT Fest UK. Playing at The Other Palace from Monday 11 to Saturday 23 February, the series will showcase eight new musicals through 45-minute semi-staged sharings.

The fantastical world of Dr. Seuss bursts onto the stage in this larger-than-life musical extravaganza from award-nominated Immersion Theatre, brimming with fun and excitement for 'thinkers' of all ages.  Set to an electric score and co-conceived by Monty Python's Eric Idle, this raucous and ultimately touching story by Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is a feel-good musical bonanza which dares us to think big and reminds us of the power of loyalty, family, and acceptance.  After all, a person's a person no matter how small!

Immersion Theatre's Seussical is a joyous celebration of all things Dr Seuss. It hinges on the story of Horton Hears a Who!, but also features favourites such as The Cat in the Hat in an Emcee-esque role and cameos from The Grinch and the classic Green Eggs and Ham.

This November, Marc Pickering (Boardwalk Empire, HBO; Les Miserables, Universal Pictures; Sleepy Hollow, Paramount Pictures) will star as the mischievous Cat in the Hat in Immersion Theatre's larger-than-life musical extravaganza, Seussical the Musical. He is joined by Scott Paige (Eugenius, The Other Palace; The Addams Family, UK/Asia Tour; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, UK Tour/West Yorkshire Playhouse) as the warm-hearted Horton the Elephant and Amy Perry (Bananaman, Southwark Playhouse, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Adelphi Theatre; Sweet Charity, Cadogan Hall) as the humble Gertrude McFuzz in this high-energy production for 'thinkers' of all ages.

Written by Ben Adams and Chris Wilkins, 'EUGENIUS!' tells the story of Eugene, a teenage boy whose nightly dreams of a distant world of heroes and villains may just be the ticket to him creating his very own comic book movie in Hollywood. Joined by his best friends 'Janey' and 'Feris', our comic writing genius must discover the true meaning of growing up, finding the superhero within, saving the world from both earthbound villains and possibly those from distant galaxies, and along the way, falling in love.
