Photo Flash: First Look at THE WORLD GOES ROUND at the Stephen Joseph Theatre

A sparkling line-up of musical talent will make this summer's 25 the anniversary production of Kander and Ebb's The World Goes Round at the SJT a must-see for all fans of musical theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below!

Showstoppers such as New York, New York, All That Jazz, Maybe This Time and Money, Money will be performed alongside lesser-known numbers such as Mr Cellophane, Arthur in the Afternoon and Coffee in a Cardboard Cup by a cast comprising some of the best of the UK's musical theatre performers: Phoebe Fildes, Laura Jane Matthewson, Nigel Richards, Ashley Samuels and Shona White.

The show was originally seen at Manhattan's off-Broadway Westside Theatre in 1991, when the legendary New York Times critic Frank Rich called it 'a handsome, tasteful, snazzily staged outpouring of song and dance that celebrates all the virtues of the Kander-Ebb catalogue... sophisticated enough to satisfy aficionados like myself... and welcoming enough to convert new audiences to the Kander-Ebb fold'.

The World Goes Round, part of the SJT's 2016 Summer Festival, can be seen at the SJT in rep from Thursday 28 July to Saturday 3 September. Tickets, priced from £10 to £24.50, are available from the Box Office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com
