101 Dalmatians has released production photos of the UK national tour of 101 Dalmations- the Musical!

All new photos have been released from the new stage adaptation of Steven Antin’s  Burlesque the Musical which is currently playing  at the Manchester Opera House. Check out the photos here!

Austrias AK Naderer just finished her spectacular (spectacular) run as Nini in the record-breaking German Production of Moulin Rouge in Cologne. The red windmill creates a unique connection between the actors and the show. Your paths might cross again, sooner or later, like with Aaron Tveit, who returns to the Al Hirschfeld Windmill, staring as Christian, the role which brought him his first Tony Award.

All new photos have been released from SISTER ACT at the Dominion Theatre, as the company welcomes Alexandra Burke as Deloris Van Cartier and Lee Mead as Eddie Souther.  

After a gruelling few years of cancellations and Covid, Bill Buckhurst's production of Sister Act The Musical was first enjoyed at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2022. Having opened in March 2024 at the Dominion Theatre, a new cast continues the success of this pacy, slick and hugely enjoyable production.

Stephanie J. Block and Adrian Dunbar star in Kiss Me, Kate at London's Barbican Centre, running through 14 September.  Check out photos of the cast in action here.

All new production photos have been released marking return of 2:22 - A Ghost Story to London’s West End. Donna Air will play Lauren and Joe McFadden will play Sam; Stacey Dooley will play Jenny, in her stage debut, and James Buckley reprises the role of Ben.

The first major revival of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge in a decade plays on the downfall of the 'Everyman'. Eddie Carbone is a hard-worker, popular, a man's man. But something deep and dangerous is gnawing at his heart.

Get a first look inside rehearsals for Burlesque!

Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.

Walter Washington is stuck. Stuck in his recently deceased wife’s wheelchair. Stuck in “a rent-controlled palace ruled by a grieving despot king” that he can ill afford. Stuck waiting for City Hall to pay him what he considers his due after a thirty year-long cop career ended in a shooting incident. That’s a whole lot of stuck.

Studio Ghibli’s SPIRITED AWAY, created by legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki, has been re-imagined for the stage. Check out all new production photos here!

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, The Roald Dahl Story Company and Leeds Playhouse have released first look rehearsal photos for London run of new musical The Enormous Crocodile.

Studio Ghibli’s Oscar-winning Spirited Away, created by legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki is re-imagined for the stage by Olivier and Tony award-winning director of Les Misérables, John Caird. The original Japanese cast perform this extraordinary production with wildly imaginative puppets, dazzling set and costume designs and a live orchestra playing the magnificent original film score by Joe Hisaishi.

Hayao Miyazaki’s legacy is one for the ages. The co-founder of Studio Ghibli revolutionised the Western consumption of anime and set a new standard for Japanese animated films. London isn’t a stranger to the stage adaptations of his creations: a major example is My Neighbour Totoro, which took up shop at the Barbican to great acclaim last year and has already announced a West End run for next year.

An excellent cast are let down by self-obsessed direction.

All new photos have been released from Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, in a new version and directed by Benedict Andrews, at the Donmar Warehouse.

Spring brings renewed energy into the year. There isn’t a better moment for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s recently appointed Co-Artistic Directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey to launch their vision for the organisation. Led by a big name that will attract new audiences who are probably younger than your typical RSC crowd, we hope Love’s Labour’s Lost is setting the tone for what’s coming. If this opening is anything to go by, this upcoming era seems to be adopting Shakespeare for a contemporary audience while maintaining the reverence for the language and the pomp of tradition.

Mit der 1.000. Show erreicht Disneys DIE EISKÖNIGIN einen sensationellen Meilenstein und überholt die Laufzeit aller anderen bisher im Stage Theater an der Elbe gespielten Shows. Noch bis zum 29.
