Christmas has taken over the Soho Theatre with Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas?. Walking into the theatre, you are greeted by a shining Christmas tree and a piano decorated with a garland. The show, a musical comedy, is the chance for Rogers, accompanied by pianist Eric Gersen, to sing songs from his Christmas album live to an audience. 

Drag Queens vs Vampires is a funny and fierce drag show that will have you clapping your hands along with Kate Butch and Crudi Dench, rooting for them in their fight to win Eurovision.

“Everything in this show has been created with AI” - Well, that might not be exactly true. There is a lot of AI, but Darren Walsh: 3rd Rock From the Pun utilises Artificial Intelligence, but the majority of the jokes are created by Walsh himself. The “plot” of 3rd Rock From the Pun is that it will tell the history of the universe using puns.

The concept of owning a house. Hitler on a cocaine comedown. A masturbating walrus. These might sound like random topics, but they all have one thing in common - they each play a part in Paddy Young: Hungry, Horny, Scared.

As soon as you enter the theatre, you know that you’re in for something bizarre. Dead centre stage is a giant pair of legs, the limbs taking up most of the space on stage. Written and performed by Louis Rembges, the show takes us into the world of Host, a former social media influencer who has kidnapped former Prime Minister David Cameron.

BroadwayWorld sat down for a chat with George Ioannides, who has taken on the role of Sky Masteron after being in the ensemble of the show since its opening. We discussed what it has been like to be part of such a revolutionary show, how he has prepared to take on the role of Sky and some favourite moments from his time in the show.

BroadwayWorld sat down with Shawna Hamic, who is taking on the role of Ursula in Unfortunate. We discussed what made her want to be a part of the show, what she hopes audiences take away from Unfortunate and who is her favourite Disney villain! 

BroadwayWorld chatted with Georgina Castle about what it has been like returning to the show. We discussed what she loves about the production, how the musical compares to the film and how she found love on stage!

The introduction of Tom Brace: A Trick Down Memory Lane is a fascinating one in which a disembodied voice recounts the time when Derren Brown played Russian Roulette live on television, creating a controversy not only in the world of magic but in general.

What do you get when you combine poetry, comedy, and a little bit of drum and bass? You get Luke Wright’s Silver Jubilee. The show, a celebration of Wright’s 25 years performing and touring poetry is an hour of the poet/comedian discussing a range of topics including being adopted, privilege, and cats named Bagel and Sir John Betjeman.

What role does a journalist play in telling the truth versus getting a good story? How does one find the line between the truth and an agreed narrative? Jonathan Maitland’s new play, The Interview, attempts to tackle these questions by taking a close look at the BBC Panorama interview with Princess Diana in 1995.

From the beginning of Sam Morrison: Sugar Daddy, Morrison does not hide who he is - he is an “anxious, asthmatic, gay, diabetic Jew” who has a love for big-bellied men (or, as he calls it, the Bridgerton Belly™.

From the beginning, Olga Koch: Prawn Cocktail gives audiences the chance to see Koch at her wittiest and dirtiest, usually both at once. The theme of the show? Reframe, reframe, reframe. Reframing as a form of comedy, reframing as a form of coping, this show has got it all. 

Bad Teacher is a show that struggles to decide whether it is going to be a serious reflection on mental health in the current education system or a funny tale from the perspective of an exhausted young teacher.

Broadwayworld spoke with Trevor Fox (Dad), Laurie Ogden (Sis) and Keir Ogilvy (Boy) about the show coming to the West End. We discussed what it is like being in an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's work, how The Ocean at the End of the Lane is theatre for everyone, and how they each relate to their characters.

A town has appeared once more in Canada Water, bringing with it a cast of curious townspeople and exciting mysteries to uncover. In this town, you can become a paranomal investigator, make new friends (or enemies!) and even go fishing for platypuses. Will you pass through the gates of Phantom Peak and answer its call?

BroadwayWorld spoke with Oliver Ormson, who returns for a second year to play the role of Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. We discussed what it has been like taking on a character from the beloved animated movie, how the musical expands upon the original, and fun audience reactions!
