BWW Review: SYMPHONIC QUEEN, Royal Albert Hall
Just over 49 years ago, a little-known student band named Queen gave their very first public performance under that name at Imperial College Union, settling on their final line-up a few months later and bracing themselves for world domination.

'Hello, Jerry' at the Prince Edward
The Prince Edward theatre, currently the home of 'Mary Poppins', witnessed another piece of magic on Sunday 23 September, when it became the venue for a star-studded gala tribute to legendary Broadway lyricist/tunesmith, Jerry Herman - a show scheduled to be aired on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night Is Music Night just before Christmas. From the moment the BBC concert orchestra conducted by Larry Blank and the highly accomplished chorus of Capital Voices launched into Herman's blockbuster, 'Tap Your Troubles Away' (from 'Mack and Mable') the audience knew they were in for a rare treat of musical theatre showstoppers. And for the next 2 hours the cast of John Barrowman, Maria Friedman, Debbie Gravitte and Clarke Peters never failed to deliver.
