Leicester Square Theatre Celebrates Its 1st Birthday In The West End; 262,000 Tix Sold
By: Gabrielle Sierra Sep. 25, 2009
Leicester Square Theatre is celebrating the news that a staggering 262,000 people bought tickets for its eclectic mix of big name comedy stars and cutting edge theatre in its first 12 months in the West End.
Opening after more than £400,000 of renovation work, with Joan Rivers' acclaimed autobiographical play, "Joan Rivers: A Work in Life in Progress by a Life in Progress", Leicester Square Theatre?has since played host to some truly legendary names of comedy, from Jimmy Carr, Roseanne Barr, Sandra Bernhard, Brendon Burns, Doug Stanhope and Russell Howard to the London debut of teen internet sensation, Bo Burnham.
Plays have included the critically acclaimed Ian Dury biography, "Hit?Me", the cutting edge gay drama "Blowing?Whistles" and Mark?Little bringing his Olivier award-winning battle of the sexes, "Defending the?Caveman", back to the West End. "Caveman" and "Hit?Me" were such runaway successes, they are both returning in 2010.
Artistic Director Martin Witts said: "2009 has been a truly memorable first year and we are delighted that more than a quarter of a million people wanted to see the wonderful mix of International Artists we presented. But we're not resting on our laurels. We have a terrific autumn season lined up, with Richard Herring, Stewart Lee, Julian Clary and Jim Jeffries showcasing the very best in comedy and ahead of his 2010 European Tour, Boy George will perform a set of exclusive intimate shows... stripped down, acoustic and unplugged. On the drama front we are pleased to welcome back to the West?End John Godber's classic comedy, "Bouncers".
"We also have Bobby?Crush starring in the world premiere of a play about legendary showman Liberace - "Liberace Live from Heaven" - and a
stunning one-woman play about Marilyn Monroe - Marilyn Forever Blonde" - that has won 12 awards in America. We even have an adults-only gay pantomime, "Sinderfella". And we are very excited about "Miss Polly Rae:?The All New Hurly Burly Show", the first collaboration between Britain's burlesque sensation, Miss?Polly Rae, and William Baker, celebrated stylist and 15 years Creative?Director for Kylie Miogue. With musical direction by Steve Anderson, the show is set to be a multi perfornance extravaganza.
"The Just the Tonic comedy night has cemented our reputation as the West End home to the the very best comedy, so we are doubling it to two nights a week. To celebrate we are presenting a special series of Just The Tonic Shows on September 29th, 30th October 1st, 6th, 7th and 8th, with top names, including?Nina Conti, Robin Ince, Dan Antopolski and Jeff?Green, and with all seats just £5.
"But we are not restricted to just presenting the big names in entertainment - we think it's important - and exciting, too - to showcase brilliant up-and-coming artists and the cult names of the underground. Using our much lauded intimate Basement Theatre, we nurture up and coming talent. You might not recognise all the names in our upcoming season... but you'll certainly be hearing more from them soon!"
Leicester Square Theatre is the West End's newest and most luxurious theatre, with two exceptional spaces for drama, comedy, music and cabaret. The beautiful Main House has unique, newly-installed Oscar-style seating and has the bonus of two large bars within the auditorium. The intimate Basement Theatre has its own bar and cabaret-style seating.

Kate Copstick, Time Out
"The most comfortable seats in the West End - even I can get my arse in them!"
Dawn French
"Any comedian would fight to play here"

Just Me And Them
The Music of Scott Alan
Sunday 11 October 5pm & 8pm | £25 (£50 VIP ticket)
Scott Alan accompanies a host of the West End's brightest stars from "Wicked", "Sister Act",
"Phantom Of The Opera", "Les Miserables|", "Jersey Boys" and many more. See the website for full details.
"Scott wears his heart on his sleeve - both sleeves - and it's a big heart; he expresses his feelings with unabashed emotion. Run for the hills if you don't like openness and open wounds in songs, but you'll be missing some of our best musical theater singers treating a skilled writer's work with care and matching his passion. It's undeniably exciting stuff. Dynamite was never so heartfelt." Rob Lester, Talkin' Broadway
John Pinette
Wednesday 14 & Thursday 15 October 9.30pm | £25
The legendary American stand-up's first UK shows outside the Edinburgh Fringe.
In his new show he explores the little things that cause him to lose his cherub-like demeanour; getting stuck at the back of the dinner queue, being confronted by stupidity or made to do exercise. Pinette is thoroughly engaging - cartoon angry when irritated by life's minor irritations and self deprecating when it comes to issues of looks or weight.
"This guy has got the funny. Got It Big. A bloody great stand up" Daily Mirror

Marilyn: Forever Blonde
Tuesday 20 October - Wednesday 18 November 7.30pm (mat Sats at 2.30pm; Sun at 5pm) | £35-£15
It is 1962 and Marilyn Monroe is in the midst of a photo shoot. She is 36 years old and while she still is beautiful, she has lost some of that little girl charm that made her Hollywood's biggest star in the 20th Century Fox prime of her early twenties. Divorced for the third time and living alone,
frustrated by Hollywood and tired of the label ‘sex symbol', Marilyn longs to be respected for her talent and loved for who she really is rather than the character she has created for the silver screen. She wonders what it would be like to do it all over again.
"Mesmerising" The Washington Post
Guerrilla Zoo
The Gorilla
Tuesday 3 - Thursday 5 Nov 9.30pm

Julian Clary
Lord of the Mince
Thursday 19 - Sunday 22 Nov 7.30pm | £20-£17.50

Stewart Lee
If You Prefer A Milder Comedian, Please Ask For One
Monday 7 December - Sunday 17 January 7.30pm (4.30pm Suns) | £20.50-£15
Writer, director and comedian, Stewart Lee returns to the live circuit with a new show which begins in a high street coffee chain and ends in a pear cider which is 100% disappointment.
Expect some punchy stuff near the top; inexplicable hostility towards relatively innocuous figures; silences and repetition; sudden and/or gradual shifts in tone, velocity and volume; the possibility of failure and a quasi-serious bit at the end. This season follows Stewart's acclaimed BBC TV series "Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle".
"The funniest, most cliche?- free comedian on the circuit" Ricky Gervais

Boy George: Up Close And Personal
Live In Concert
Monday 21 - Wednesday 30 December £45 - £35
Boy George needs little introduction. He shot to international stardom in the 80s as the front man of Culture Club, and has since sold over 50 million albums and has had top ten hits worldwide. He wrote and starred in the Tony-Nominated musical, "Taboo", premiering in the West End at The Venue (now Leicester?Sqaure?Theatre) before moving to Broadway. He has remained one of the world's most recognisably iconic figures. In advance of his 2010 European Tour, George will
perform a set of exclusive intimate shows at the Leicester Square Theatre... stripped down, acoustic, unplugged. This set of exclusive concerts is simply Boy George the artist, singer, lyricist and musician - performing his biggest hits from Culture Club, his solo career, new writing and some great covers.
"Beyond the face paint lies a great British soul voice. Church Of The Poison Mind was delivered at breakneck speed and overflowed with joie de vivre.
