Review: THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA, Royal Albert Hall

The Sound of Philadelphia, a celebration of “50 years of Philly Soul,” hosted by Sir Lenny Henry, celebrated the Philly soul genre, which is 'characterised by funk influences and lush string and horn arrangements,' so it only makes sense that the music of the night would be performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

BWW Review: CHICAGO, New Wimbledon Theatre

Chicago is a piece of musical theatre that feels as though it has been around forever. Premiering in 1975, directed and choreographed by the legendary Bob Fosse, it quickly gained an iconic status and an exhausting number of revivals followed. Currently running on Broadway, starring Pamela Anderson, it is also on a highly successful tour that lands at the New Wimbledon Theatre this week.

CHICAGO Announced at Milton Keynes

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

BWW Review: ALADDIN, Royal and Derngate

For me, the best thing about panto is the stuff that's not in the script - we went every year when I was little and my favourite memory is of the year that Brian Blessed's trousers split when he was playing Captain Hook and he and Smee had an extended fit of giggles.
