CD Review: BLONDEL Original London Cast Album
It's been over 10 years since the comedy musical Blondel was last seen on stage in London and with a new production about to open at the Union Theatre, Stage Door Records has released the Original London Cast album as a timely reminder of the wonderfully wacky show.
Blondel's New Crusade Comes To An End
The revival of the Tim Rice/Stephen Oliver musical 'Blondel' ends its run at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington on Sunday, December 31. The original production, starring Paul Nicholas and Sharon Lee Hill, opened in the West End in November 1983 and ran for just under two years. The revival, with an excellent cast led by ex-soap star from Hollyoaks, Chris Grierson and feisty How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria semi-finalist, Abi Finlay, has enchanted London fringe theatre audiences for just six weeks.
