This special concert production has been created by the same team behind the Olivier award-winning productions that have previously run at the same venue.

Next up in the National Theatre at Home series of broadcasts we find a gem of a play coming straight from their archives, Lorraine Hansberry's staggeringly topical Les Blancs. Originally staged in 2016 by director Yaël Farber, it was posthumously completed by Hansberry's former husband Robert Nemiroff for a Broadway run, and then reworked by dramaturge Drew Lichtenberg, Joi Gresham (director of the Lorraine Hansberry Literary Trust), and Farber herself for the production at the National after consulting Hansberry's journals and notes.

SimG Productions and Musical Theatre Radio have joined forces to present 'One Night Only' on Monday 22nd June at 7.30pm (GMT). This unique, virtual, interactive event will reunite cast and creatives from the original West End production of 'From Here To Eternity'.

The Jamie Lloyd Company has announced that, due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic, Anya Reiss' adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, in a version by Frank McGuinness are both now postponed.

The hype around the National Theatre's production of Twelfth Night when it premiered in 2017 was, understandably, centred around Tamsin Greig. Not necessarily because of her celebrity status (although that of course will have been a factor), but primarily because she would be undertaking a gender-swapped role - from Malvolio to Malvolia.

Sadly, the 2020 Olivier Awards won't be going ahead as planned due to the coronavirus shutdown, although ITV will broadcast a highlights show.

What better way to end the BroadwayWorld UK coverage of the 20th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards than with backstage interviews with some of the winners and the presenters who gave them their awards.

As the nominees and guests were arriving last night for the 20th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards we managed to steal some of the nominees and presenters away for a quick chat. BroadwayWorld UK reporter Jamie Body discussed with them the importance of the audience to the theatre as well where they would keep their award if they won.

The theatre stars aligned this past Sunday for the 20th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards at the Prince of Wales Theatre, which shrug off its usual Mormon clothes for the occasion. Marking this huge milestone, the team turned it up a notch and celebrated in style, with Paul Taylor-Mills as a producer.

BroadwayWorld UK reports Jamie Body and Cindy Marcolina attended the event and here is a sneak peek at what went down at the awards.

At a ceremony tonight at the Prince of Wales Theatre hosted by Jodie Prenger and Tom Read Wilson, the winners of the 20th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards were announced. For the first time this year the event was broadcast live on BBC Radio 2 hosted by Elaine Paige and Paddy O'Connell.

The week the stock market erases its year's gains may be just the right time to open a not-often produced play about swift changes in fortune.
