Roundup: Check Out These Socially Distanced Shows
Hurrah for the green shoots in our beleaguered industry. Lots of venues are mounting new shows and bringing back our favourites over the next few weeks and months - albeit with social distancing and safety measures in place. Here are some of the live theatrical goodies on offer.
BWW Review: A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, Opera Holland Park
The show must go on: it's been the rallying cry of our beleaguered industry, the message emblazoned on Theatre Support Fund+'s T-shirts and mugs. On Saturday night, we saw that fighting spirit in person, as Janie Dee, co-producer and star of this concert version of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music, marched into a pitiless downpour and cried to the heavens, 'Don't you love farce?!'. As far as spine-tinglingly theatrical moments go, that one will be hard to top.
BWW Review: KINKY BOOTS, King's Theatre, Glasgow
Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the shoe factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola - a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos
BWW Review: KINKY BOOTS, Bristol Hippodrome
There's something undeniably irrepressible about Kinky Boots - it's a fully sequined, unabashed romp through a true (ish) story of a shoe factory threatened with closure until a radical idea to start producing oh so fabulous boots for drag queens appears.
BWW Review: KINKY BOOTS , Edinburgh Playhouse
Its 3 year London run is almost at an end but Kinky Boots is currently strutting its way across Britain on its first ever UK tour.
Based on the 2005 film, it tells of a struggling Northampton shoe factory and the lengths its owner, Charlie Price, will go to keep it open.
