After being taken on a lengthy tour of the UK and Ireland, Only Human comes to the West End as Brown’s first appearance since 2022’s Showman, a post-pandemic show filled with highly personal insights. Its follow-up Unbelievable saw Brown remain backstage as co-creator, writer and co-director (alongside Andy Nyman and Andrew O’Connor), with Simon Lipkin and a company of actor-musicians out front. (In a neat twist, Lipkin has set up home next door to the Apollo as Dickens’s arch-pickpocket Fagin in Oliver!)

With a hilarious cast, clever direction, and plenty of over-the-top antics, Theatre Raleigh’s Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors delivers a delightfully campy evening filled with nonstop laughs and Halloween fun for you to sink your teeth into.

While both the film and the autobiography have entered our cultural heritage as testimonies of the Nazi era – the poverty it brought, its violence, its misery – this new rendition inhabits a different realm. Thom Southerland debuts Szpilman’s own compositions in an invariably morose piece of theatre that never finds its pace nor purpose. A team of actor-musicians revives Szpilman’s story, but this version of The Pianist struggles to securely grip the audience. Sutherland centralises the creative process, adapting and directing Szpilman’s book; this type of clustering is risky, and it doesn’t pay off on this occasion.

Running October 8 through November 1, 2026, at Scripps Ranch Theatre in San Diego, the comedy follows Abby, a stubborn, sharp-tongued woman, and Marilyn, her relentlessly cheerful roommate, whose seemingly simple disagreement over their shared living space escalates into an all-out battle of pranks.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, one of the most beloved musicals of all time, RENT, has returned to the West End. Written by Jonathan Larson, the Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning show - inspired by Puccini’s La bohème - follows the lives of a group of young people living in New York City in the 1990s. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Billy Nevers, who plays Tom Collins in this production of RENT. We discussed what it has been like to take on such an iconic musical, his favourite songs from the show to perform and listen to and even what it was like to rehearse for this show whilst in Jesus Christ Superstar!
