Empire Theatre
Wood Green Ð Leicester Square London
Motley's new production is a collection of three short pieces by George Bernard Shaw. The centrepiece is 'Village Wooing'his comediettina 'for two voices in three scenes' preceded by the one-act play 'How he lied to her Husband' and a longish poem, 'English pronounciation' which deals with the peculiarities of spoken English, (one of his favourite themes) while the two short plays are affectionate satires on the processes of wooing and wedding, and their aftermath. Mr. Shaw's rapier-sharp wit and his unique take on these human rights-of-passage make for a stimulating, sparkling evening's entertainment.

by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Jul 12, 2026


This season, 46th Street will join these special ranks when the new musical Warriors moves into the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Warriors, with book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis, moves in across the street from Hamilton in its long-time home at the Richard Rodgers. Hamilton, with book, music, and lyrics by Miranda, already has a history of inspiring block party vibes on 46th Street with Ham4Ham, their in-person lottery turned pop-up concert event. Will there be a crossover lottery event for both shows? Perhaps Warriors will be the Lunt-Fontanne show to finally reopen the theater’s long-dormant retractable rooftop and wave to their neighbors?

Review: THE STORY OF A ROSE: A MUSICAL REVERIE ON THE GREAT WAR at NVCC'S Schlesinger Center
by Elliot Lanes - May 13, 2025


If you were to ask a modern day student what they know about WW1, they probably would give you a short answer seeing as it is rarely taught nowadays.

Complete with a seven piece orchestra, superb arrangements by Tedd Firth, and mostly top notch technical elements, this show does a lot to teach us all about a forgotten generation of military and the time period in general.
