Tim Rice ('Jesus Christ Superstar,' 'Evita') makes his long-awaited return to the musical spotlight as Fathom Events and Omniverse Vision present the legendary lyricist's stage adaptation of 'From Here to Eternity.' This will mark the first time that Fathom Events and Omniverse vision have partnered to capture a stage production, which took place in spring 2014 at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London.

We speak to Siubhan Harrison, who played Lorene in From Here To Eternity, about the show - and her involvement in the forthcoming charity gig at Cadogan Hall to raise money for Target Ovarian Cancer.

As the West End had a bit of a clear-out last night, with Stephen Ward, The Full Monty and The Duck House also making an exit, perhaps From Here To Eternity's departure might be a little overlooked.

Following a sell-out launch gig for his debut album 'We All Want The Same' at the Union Theatre in September last year, West End star Nadim Naaman will perform a live concert at The Pheasantry on Sunday March 30.

On Sunday 18 May 2014, stars of the West End will come together for an evening of pop and musical theatre at the prestigious Cadogan Hall, Chelsea, to raise funds and celebrate the work of Target Ovarian Cancer (registered charity numbers 1125038 England/Wales and SC042920 Scotland).

Further to previous notices, producers today confirmed that From Here to Eternity will close on 29 March 2014 following a six month run at the Shaftesbury Theatre. ?From Here to Eternity is adapted from one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, this gripping tale of illicit love and army life unites the writing talents of Tim Rice (lyrics), Stuart Brayson (music) and Bill Oakes (book). It marks Tim's first new stage musical for over ten years and Stuart's West End debut.

On Saturday at the Shaftesbury Theatre the Military Wives Choir shared the stage with the full company of From Here to Eternity to mark today's anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, an event integral to the plot of the musical. Introduced by Tim Rice, the choir of 36 joined the company for a moving curtain call rendition of Boys of '41 - the song in the show dedicated to the soldiers who lost their lives in the attack.

To mark the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, an event integral to the plot of From Here To Eternity, the producers of the show are delighted that The Military Wives Choir will be joining the full company of the musical on stage to perform a curtain call rendition of the song in the show which is dedicated to the soldiers who lost their lives in the attack - Boys of '41.

Tim Rice's FROM HERE TO ETERNITY just opened last night, October 23, at the Shaftesbury Theatre.

One has to admire the bravery of anyone who's willing to launch a brand-new musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Despite the successes of Hairspray and Rock of Ages, people seem to enjoy whispering about the 'curse of the Shaftesbury' due to its string of flops, and it seems to me that a fair number of onlookers really do want new shows to fail just for the continuation of this coincidental curse.

Tim Rice's FROM HERE TO ETERNITY began previews at the Shaftesbury Theatre on 30 September, starring Darius Campbell (Chicago, West End) as Warden, Siubhan Harrison (Grease, West End) as Lorene, Robert Lonsdale (Anna Christie, Donmar Warehouse) as Prewitt, Ryan Sampson (Open Court, Royal Court) as Maggio and Rebecca Thornhill (South Pacific, UK tour) as Karen. Let's see what the critics had to say...
