Christina Bianco - In Divine Company is a fantastic show that brings together incredible impersonations and Bianco’s own singing voice, tied together with funny and heartfelt stories.

BroadwayWorld UK recently spoke with Frances Mayli McCann about her time playing Bonnie Parker in Bonnie & Clyde. We discussed what it's been like to see the show develop over her time with it, why she thinks audiences love the show so much, and even got some recommendations on learning more about the history of the infamous duo!

BroadwayWorld UK recently spoke with Jamie Muscato, who is starring as Christian in Moulin Rouge!, which is running at the Piccadilly Theatre on the West End. We discussed what it has been like taking on such an iconic role, his favourite scenes in the show, and even people experiencing 'Moulin Rouge! Withdrawal Syndrome' after seeing the show!

BroadwayWorld UK recently spoke with Christina Bianco, whose solo show, In Divine Company, will be running at the Menier Chocolate Factory next month. We discussed the creative process of creating show, the differences between performing as others and herself, and why this show will be great for audiences of all ages.

Are you a fan of gory history facts? Do you love theatre? Do you enjoy a nice boat ride down the River Thames? If you answered yes to these questions, Terrible Thames may be the tour for you.

BroadwayWorld UK spoke with Robert Hastie about what it's been like to be involved with Operation Mincemeat, how he became a director, and what it's like to direct both Shakespeare and musicals!

BroadwayWorld UK had the chance to speak with Carrie Hope Fletcher about the process of creating the show. We talked about imposter syndrome, what it's been like to perform solo instead of with large casts, and even a bit of audience participation!

Not Your Grandma’s Folk Tales is a beautiful hour of storytelling that will wrap you up in a blanket of magical tales and leave you feeling ready to face the world, armed with the words of others.

Entering the VAULT Festival is like stepping into a small pocket universe. Once you are inside The Vaults, you are in a place of arts and acceptance, where people in drag mingle with businessmen after a busy day of working and performing, with shows where women attach steaks to their labia and cabaret performers dance all in the same night. 

Acid's Reign is a sustainable drag-cabaret play from Relish Theatre, exploring the queerness of nature, and how the climate crisis impacts LGBTQ+ communities. The show is currently at VAULT festival.

The creator of the award-winning THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT is bringing a brand-new surreal meditation to VAULT Festival to caution us all of our impending annihilation. Performed entirely naked, Adam Scott-Rowley’s YOU ARE GOING TO DIE is a nail-biting descent into the loneliness, pain and existential anxiety of our time.

Queerstory the Musical is a fantastic show that is both hilarious and informative. Mercury and Maxim do a wonderful job of combining humour and music while also remembering those who lived before us, fighting for queer rights and standing up for who they love. I look forward to attending more lectures with Professor Maxim and Mercury in the future!

The Freshwater Five is a show that may have a powerful message, but it is buried beneath layers of confusion that are never unravelled. Audience members shouldn’t have to do their own research to figure out the basic information a show is based on - I’d much rather a show has too much exposition than not enough.

BroadwayWorld had the chance to sit down at the Garrick Theatre and talk with Frank Wildhorn, the composer of Bonnie & Clyde. We discussed the evolution of the show, audience reactions around the world, and why the show is so relevant today.

Stepping into the VOID (a literal shipping container) for Love In is like entering another world. Once the metal door opens and you are greeted by your host, the Lover (Amanda Grace), in a gorgeous sunflower dress, you forget the outside world of Waterloo with its loud bars and graffiti.

It’s A Motherf**king Pleasure is a brilliant commentary on disabilities and the arts and fully deserves the recommendation made by Lyn Gardner, even though she hasn’t even seen the show. As one of the actors comments, “They didn’t know it was good, but they knew it was disabled.”

The Sodomite is a fun show that will amuse audience members through song and story, especially those who grew up Catholic and feel ostracised from the religious community.

Clementine is a one-woman show about Lady Clementine, a woman who “sets off on a quest to solve the mystery of her ill-fortune” when looking for love. The show is written by and stars Rosalie Minnitt, who previously appeared in the VAULT Young Company’s production of Joy. Recently, I had the chance to speak with Rosalie about Clementine.

As someone named Kat in her twenties and living in the 20s, I thought it would be interesting to review Kat and Kat Comedy’s The Whoreing Twenties. The show is an interesting mix of pre-recorded video and live comedy presented by two women, both named Kat, who “really want to give back to the community”  by giving advice about sex in your twenties.

Hummingbird is a funny yet serious work that sometimes attempts to move into the world of surrealism but works better as a realistic piece. Christopher Neels writes a powerful story of grief while also including a biting sense of humour that lets the audience laugh instead of simply simmering in their sadness.
